I've been running several different backtests and this has been a recurring issue with my backtests. “Due to numerical precision issues in the factor file, data for the following symbols was adjust to a later starting date: [HCHC, 12/30/2050]” Is there something wrong with the data?

Hi Li Cheng
This warning is thrown when the factor file has INF split values, indicating that the stock has so many splits that prices can't be calculated with correct numerical precision. However, it should still be possible to receive the data through a History request. Please refer to the following thread for more information.
Best,
