After stock splits, indicators not working

[M_ichel]

Hi everybody.
I have a chart of NVDA. With a couple of indicators (EMA & SMA). When the stock split (forward, 10:1) a few days ago, the stock started trading at a price approx. 1/10th of the former price. Of course, the indicators don't make sense any more.
Is there any way to "adjust" the chart so that the indicators make sense again?
Thanks.

Hello M_ichel,

Thank you for the message.

You could set the chart's "Days to load" to be one day short of the split so that the only data appearing on the chart is from the post-split values.

Otherwise, there is no way to merge from the old data to the new data as the values are different now.

• If the market was trading at 10,000 and it is now down to 1,000, changing the values before the split would cause it to be inaccurately shown so those values are not changed.

So, the only way to not have them affect the indicators is to not have the values from before the split even considered in the indicators calculations which is why we would change the "Days to load" to not include any data points from before the split.


Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

Hi Clayton.
The solution proposed doesn't work: if I do not load data prior to, say, 10 days ago, then an EMA looking at 21 days or 50 days (industry standards) will not display anything!
It's surprising that NinjaTrader can't do this as a quick survey shows that these charting programs all display data correctly after adjusting for the split: Yahoo/Finance, IBKR's TWS, IBD's MarketSurge, StockCharts, etc!
Are you sure there is not a parameter that would allow NinjaTrader to take split into account?
Thanks!
