Hello dunwoodyjr,
Dividends do cause historical data to adjust and NinjaTrader is able to make those adjustments by downloading the splits & dividends information from a data provider.
The best data provider to connect to for updating splits & dividends is Yahoo.
This will adjust the historical data which will affect how your strategy runs.
Below is a link to the help guide on Adding Splits and Dividends.
