Cleanup

Most securities are subject to more or less frequent capital increases or splits. As these capital increases bring new shares onto the market, the price of the old shares is reduced by a certain factor. Although this loss is offset by the issue of corresponding subscription rights, the future share prices are no longer comparable with the prices prior to the capital increase.

To enable you to create charts that do not contain any price jumps caused by capital increases, adjustment factors are stored with the prices to compensate for this. If you retrieve the data via Market Data Pool, the adjustment factors are also updated with the prices.
