Historical Stock Market Data with Split-Dividend Adjustment Ratio
As with the Historical Stock Market Data item, this downloader gets historical end-of-day data for several markets from Yahoo finance website.
In addition to that, it will also create a custom database "adjust" and store in that database, the adjustment ratio as well as the unadjusted close.
The adjustment ratio will be stored under the "ratio" field while the unadjusted close will be stored under the "unadjclose" field.
Here are some examples of usage:
// Getting the unadjusted close price
a = getdata("adjust", "unadjclose");
plot(a, "Unadjusted close price");
// Getting the adjustment ratio
a = getdata("adjust", "ratio");
plot(a, "Dividend/Split Adjustment ratio");
// Getting potential dividend adjustment (ratio value changed but below 10%)
a = round(getdata("adjust", "ratio"), 2);
a = a != a[1] and absolute(perf(a, 1)) < 10;
plot(a, "", colorGreen);
// Getting the unadjusted open price
a = open / getdata("adjust", "ratio");
plot(a, "Unadjusted Open Price");
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
