NinjaTrader will split and dividend-adjust historical data. This is primarily relevant for backtesting. NinjaTrader uses a fixed level back adjustment of dividends. This means that historical data is adjusted at the fixed amount of the dividend.
For example:
Day 1: Stock trades at $10.00
Day 2: Stock trades at $10.50
Day 3: Stock trades at $11.25
Day 4: Stock goes ex-dividend, the dividend is $0.75, and finishes trading at $10.50
The dividend adjusted historical data now becomes:
Day 1: $9.25
Day 2: $9.75
Day 3: $10.50
Day 4: $10.50 (the ex-day is not adjusted)
You can enable this data adjusting by selecting the Tools menu from the Control Center and left mouse clicking on the Options menu item. Then select the Market Data category and select Adjust for splits and/or Adjust for dividends.
Warning: Should the historical data you are using come pre-adjusted you should not readjust them a second time. |
