thanks Gary. Yes I found it out myself already as well.  This can very well 
explain the difference in my backtest,

Also thanks for the splits table. I will have a look.

regards, Ed

  Hi

  Symbol NFI had a 1 for 4 reverse split on Friday, the date was wrong, it 
should have been Monday, I just sent out the correction for that.

  The smaster.qpf file in the quotes plus data directory is an MS Access 
database that contains a table name splits. If you have access, you can just 
open it with access, and view the splits table, if you don't have access, you 
should be able to do a query from Excel to read the table.

  Best regards

  Gary

    hi,

    anyone know what changes have been made to the database during the lastest 
dowload?  I downloaded the data 28 July and my backtest changes. Usually I 
check 2 things:   1) check for stock splits   2) check if certain symbols in my 
list of symbols has been emptied out.

    Accoring to my information 2 splits have been executed of the 27-th of 
July: GMCR and  SJR. Both splits are not visible in the data yet and will not 
change anything in my system.

    GMRK data is emptied out and the symbol is replaced with GLF but this also 
does not cause the difference in result. All other symbols that are emptied out 
do not cause my problem.

    There has to be some Nyse of Nasdaq stock that have been adjusted for a 
stock split as of today (7/28). Anyone know which stock(s)?

    thanks, Ed
