Should I Be Using Adjusted or Unadjusted Price Data?

When a company pays a quarterly dividend, that means the stock price is reduced and that difference is paid out to investors as a dividend payment. So should we use adjusted data (that adjusts for these dividends), or unadjusted data (which shows the raw historical prices)? We'll show you how prices are adjusted for dividends, how that could impact the technical indicators you use, and which answer may be right for you and your investment process!

You didn't mention the differencescin moving avg values. Like 200 day could be very diff for adjusted vs non adjusted. Even $spy pays a div which affects that MA. If we use 200 ma as support, is it best to use adjusted prices or not? Thanks in advance Dave ❤

[@DKellerCMT]

Great question. Adjusted/unadjusted data affects all technical indicators, from moving averages to RSI! Will work up more content on this. D

[@Peter_Derby]

Dave do the same principles apply for futures adjusted data ? i.e. support use un-adjusted, indicators use adjusted

[@DKellerCMT]

Very different animal actually, as there are different schools of thought on rolling on futures contract to the next! Will put on the list for a future video D
