[amibroker] Re: IACI: Yahoo EOD Split not adjusted? Aug 08-2005

For EOD data I recommend that you have a look at PremiumData from 
Norgate. Premium Data looks after splits and adjusts all the 
historical data automatically. There is no need to do anything except 
run the daily update. This is really good data for backtesting. I 
have tried a few others over the years, and this is by far the best. 
I haven't had to adjust anything manually. They also provide great 
support.

collected data (I don't know of any that do) it is necessary to 
delete all data and download all of the adjusted data from the first 
date.
