Scaling the Data
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

The data for GemPro is scaled correctly at source and is also automatically adjusted for corporate actions such as splits and capital re-constructions and should normally not be changed unless you require specific customization to the scaling of your data.  We do NOT recommend you alter the scaling of your data but the steps to do so are outlined below.

 

  1. Click the Open Portfolio icon.  
  2. Highlight the security to be scaled.
  3. Click on the Edit icon  and select Scale Data to display the following window -

                            

  1. Select the Start and End Records of the data to be scaled (by default they are the first and last data records).
  2. Select the Price and/or Volume checkbox and enter the scaling factor required.  For example: To multiply all prices by 100, click the price check box and enter 100.
  3. Click the Scale Now button to implement the new scaling.

 

Important Note: 

Changing the scaling factor as described above only changes the data currently in your existing data file. It is not possible to change the scaling of the data you download. It is recommended that you do NOT rescale historical data files as they will no longer match the downloaded data.
