The problem here is you need to detect:
1. Splits
2. Stock dividends/Bonus Issues
3. Reverse Splits / Consolidations
4. Spinoffs/demergers
5. Capital returns
By looking at a price chart, you cannot definitively deduce any of these
events.
Eg. I've seen a stock that puts out a bad earnings report lose 33% of its
value in one day. Is this a 2 for 3 split?
Find yourself a decent data vendor that does all of these automatically for
you. It will cost you money to subscribe to such a data vendor, but if you
are serious about analyzing the data you should be serious about its source.
