Share New Research 
I'd like to observe some data in a research notebook. When setting the Data Normalization to either Adjusted or Raw, the History returns the same data. This is concerning to me as Technical Indicators sometimes have to be manually fed data from the History.
How can I ensure the history data being requested is either Adjusted or Raw? I'd like the ability to choose whether my signals are derived form either Adjusted or Raw data.
Also, if I am to use data.Dividends[ticker].Distribution to see dividend payout in the OnData() method, how would I go about seeing the Dividends and other Corporate Actions in the Historical Data should I want to comb through that data further?
Thank you
from QuantConnect import *
qb = QuantBook()
ticker = "IBM"
asset = qb.AddEquity(ticker, Resolution.Daily)
qb.Securities[ticker].SetDataNormalizationMode(DataNormalizationMode.Adjusted)
history = qb.History(qb.Symbol(ticker), 10, Resolution.Daily)
history

Hi Felix
The method you’re using is correct. If you need to use raw price, just change DataNormalizationMode.Adjusted into DataNormalizationMode.Raw shall be fine. The reason for getting the same result is that there is no split or dividend event for IBM in the last 10 days, so there will be no price adjustment. Try to use a window like 252 days and you’ll see the difference in the prices before those events happen.
As per the distribution of dividends, we haven’t provided a historical data method to fetch an array-like structure to calculate the distribution for dividends. We recommend importing custom data to do so.
