TradersStudio has built in analysis for handling splits and dividends. You need to use three data streams unadjusted,Split adjusted and dividend only adjusted. It will correctly handle splits dividends and allow orders at real prices. This allows correct money management for stocks and ETF's.

Here is a link to a relative strength tutorial for stock and ETF trading.

Yes, it was a neural network which was embedded into a spreadsheet. I have nothing to do with Forum member Braincell.

Ah see, that's an interesting way of doing it. I haven't seen a single app that handles specifically corporate actions like that so I'm not sure what intradaybill was going on about that this is very common. Thanks I'll look at it, even though I'm probably already decided on how to do my version.

Oh I didn't know that was him. I read about that system. However I've never used it since I don't think NeuralNets are very practical for trading applications.

Out of curiosity, is there a good free (or cheap) source for corporate action data (splits/divs/takovers)?
