Data Policies

Markets and Stocks Provided

Currently, StockCharts has access to data from the following markets:

• New York Stock Exchange (US)

• Nasdaq Stock Exchange (US)

• Amex Stock Exchange (US)

• BATS Exchange (US)

• TSX Stock Exchange (Canada)

• TSX-Venture Stock Exchange (Canada)

• London Stock Exchange (UK)

• National Stock Exchange of India (India)

We have datasets for most ticker symbols in each of the markets we cover, but not necessarily all ticker symbols. We do not automatically provide data for extremely low-priced stocks since technical analysis techniques do not work with such stocks and the charts for those stocks can be extremely misleading.

If you would like to see a particular ticker symbol in a market that we cover, but we do not have that symbol in our database, you can request that we add that symbol by using our Symbol Request form.

Timeliness of Data

Users who have not signed up for any of our real-time data plans will see charts that are based on data that is delayed by at least 15 minutes. If price data from the BATS exchange is available, those users will see charts that include non-delayed data from the BATS exchange during the first 15 minutes.

Members who have signed up for a real-time data plan will see charts that are based on non-delayed data for that market.

In all cases, it is possible that high-speed, dedicated data feeds may have data that is updated slightly ahead of the data on our charts, simply due to the nature of the Internet.

Historical Price Data Adjusted for Splits, Dividends, and Distributions

At StockCharts, we adjust our historical price data to remove gaps caused by stock splits, dividends and distributions. That may cause our charts to look different from other services that do not perform the same adjustments.

We adjust for splits, dividends, and distributions in order to give a more accurate representation of historical performance, and to avoid misleading technical signals. These adjustments ensure that all price movements on our charts are caused by pure market forces - that is, the forces that Technical Analysis attempts to identify.

For most ticker symbols, we also offer price data that has not been adjusted for dividends or distributions. However, all our charts, whether configured to use adjusted or "unadjusted" data, are always adjusted for splits.

Important Note: Unadjusted data is only available for daily and longer-period charts. Our intraday charts always use adjusted data, regardless of whether or not the chart is configured for unadjusted data.
