Post From: TSLA Profile chart not updating

The pricing that your chart shows for all days prior to 31AUG is way off. There is no indication that the stock split that day or that there was any major price change at all.

This is the intraday chart that I am getting. Every price before 31AUG is also incorrect. Pre 31AUG, the price was ~$2000, not $400. Also, I notice the lows on 01SSEP do not match those on your chart, but I don't know for certain you are using the same data as I am.

This is the historical chart that populates, which shows accurate pricing (~$2000) pre 31AUG. This is from the daily chart data file. The two charts for the same instrument do not match.

AAPL had a split on the same day as TSLA. The AAPL intraday chart looks like this on my system:

In the AAPL intraday chart, there is a clear gap on 31AUG showing the price change after the split, with previous bars showing the correct pre-split price. This is also correct for AAPL on the Daily historical chart:

So, the software handled both splits differently and is giving two different prices for the same time depending on what chart you are currently looking at for TSLA. This makes analysis, backtesting, etc, dangerously inaccurate for TSLA, but fine on AAPL, both NASDAQ listed.



Thanks for your help with this.
