Just wondering if Bull Systems data service is supposed to supply amended data eg adjust for splits, consolidations etc. I'm on the trial at the moment and have noticed some companies with un-adjusted prices for eg BDG had a 10 for 1 reconstruction and the chart jumps from 14c to $1.09?.

Not yet. Some companies have been adjusted, but there's no complete system in place yet.

An adjustments system is already in development, and we'll be working on bringing this to completion over the coming months.

Also, will you be supporting company options (as opposed to calls & puts etc) in the data service?. I recall reading that you think it would make the file too large. I currently download a ~200k file with all options, eto's and warrants, on dial-up service.

If Bullcharts can only download data from Bullsystems at the moment, is it possible to manually adjust the prices instead?.

Maybe you could price the data at a more realistic level until such time as you have sorted the problems out, or allow an alternative data supplier.

Personally I find the cost of the data more than reasonable, considering what you get for the data. 3 news streams including asx, realtime, any time frame, depth, market map, alerts, etc etc, all integrated.

That said, I would LOVE to see the ability to chart futures or forex in realtime, and would be willing to pay extra for this service. Even if just the Nymex contracts and the major currency cross's.

If you're on a live plan, you should be able to enter a company option symbol (eg VHLO) and it will fetch it from the server - though it doesn't get included in a BullScan.

We're developing a system at the moment to process adjustments and name changes.

Hello,
Could you check the XJO indice close figure for 10 Jan 02 in your database for correctness, and correct if possible.
Thanks

Yep, looks like that's wrong. I've updated the data, and you'll receive the change automatically when you download tonights data.
