You need to perform the split on the data so that the historical data reflects
the split. I personally use EOD data that performs the split for me, yet still
allows me to see the pre-split prices.


The first dawn of smartness is to stop trying things you don't
  know anything about----especially if they run to anything 
over a dollar.

Dear list,


The stock prices I download from Prophet Data are the actual stock prices
they are not adjusted for splits.  When system testing on stock prices how
do we deal with the large price drop caused by stock splits.  These large
drops in price seem to make all the system testing worthless.
