Re: [amibroker] Quotes on Amibroker Chart are different than Quotes on MarketWatch chart

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is because by default quotes from Yahoo are ADJUSTED
for dividends distributions and splits
Read more about that here:
http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2007/08/04/amiquote-and-free-data-from-yahoo/

(there is also instruction what to change if you don't want adjustments)
