Tell us how expensive, how practical, this would be to implement - It's been asked before, and the docs show that the option to download dividend adjusted data doesn't apply anymore. Data/Trade Service Settings: Download Dividend Adjusted Historical Data (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Historical Daily Data) This feature alone is so important to the professionals / advisors that are focused on reinvesting dividend income to see Total Return. Right now Bonds are so important for Income Management - Take a look at GOVT and AGG on Sierra, and then look at the adjusted total return on TradingView. The absolute difference in simple price action structure - like a double bottom and trendlines between the adjusted and non adjusted for GOVT - is GAME CHANGING. By not having this feature - You are excluding your customer base by hundreds, if not thousands. In the professional world this matters more than footprint charts, market profiles, heatmap etc. This should be at the top of the priority list. I'd be completely fine with a _TRADJ - Total Return Adjusted Chart format. I wouldn't expect a button in the control bar to switch it over like Tradingview. And I use detached windows, So I can just slide the chart under, the non adjusted chart. I understand how this could be complicated, how people could get confused and try trading from the other chart, but that's on them to distinguish the two charts with different colors of custom text, if the title bar is not enough. From a percentage standpoint, from a ratio standpoint, there are some really interesting things to do with Total Return Dividend Adjusted Charts. GOVT is up 14.25% from october 24, 2023 with dividend adjusted on a non adjusted chart it's up 5%...... This is so misleading, especially for ETFs that are focused on income generation, that is supposed to be reinvested back into the ETF, for more income on the next dividend. With that logic - that is why there is a double bottom on GOVT dividend adjusted in October 2023. |
