This product contains multiple years of stock price history. The data begins in 2001 and contains Open, High, Low, Close, AdjustedClose and Volume. The data is updated daily to include today’s trading session and recent splits and dividends.
For many years, we at DeltaNeutral have been happy to serve historical options data to the option trading community. Due to the nature of option prices, they do not change. Once they are traded they do not get adjusted for corporate actions such as splits or dividends. Stock price history changes due to corporate actions.
The DeltaNeutral Stock History is a subscription based product which is updated at the end of each trading day and whenever there is a corporate action.
Why do you need this if you are already an option data subscriber? The stock data included with options service only includes today’s prices. If a stock split happened today, and you don’t update the previous day’s stock prices, your stock chart will have a big drop in it. Your stock chart and technical analysis calculations will be way off.

Question: When does the data get updated?
Answer: The historical data is updated when any of these events occur:
* at the end of a trading day
* a stock split occurs
* a dividend occurs

Question: How often does the data change?
Answer: Stock data is used for technical analysis. Perhaps you are needing stock data to calculate moving averages, MACD, or other oscillators to signal entry and exit of trades. It is recommended that you download the stock data from our servers once a day about one hour after market closes to get the most complete data.
A new set of files will be created once every day. The set of data will be created approximately 50 minutes after market close. You can download the StockHistory.zip file, or individual .csv files. There is one csv file per year.

Question: Who would benefit from this data?
Answer: Our stock history product is only geared towards option traders. The dataset will only include stock prices for U.S. Equity stocks, indices and ETFs that are optionable.

Question: What is the file format?
Answer: The file will have the following format: AAPL,1/2/2013,553.82,555,541.63,549.03,538.7,20018500 symbol,quotedate,open,high,low,close,adjustedclose,volume.

Question: How many files will change each day? Size?
Answer: There is one stockhistory file per year, and each file is updated daily. So if you are only interested in the past two years of data, just download those years. The filename structure will be stockhistory_YYYY.csv. The data begins in 2001. Our data is maintained in a SQL database and exported twice a day in CSV format. When a stocksplit occurs, all records for that stock are adjusted, so it will affect multiple years of data. Each full year of data averages 50MB.

Question: What about obsolete symbols?
Answer: When a symbol becomes obsolete due to being delisted, or because of a merger, the data is retained. We do not delete old symbols. As with our options data, we do not remove old symbols. You will be able to chart stocks that no longer exist if they were optionable.
