Yesterday I started digging into QC features. Pushing dividend and split adjusted prices into algoritms works fine for back testing. But how is adjustment handled in live trading? Gets RollingWindows and Indicators also adjusted automatically?

In live mode, dividends are paid into the brokerage account while splits are not handled at the moment (it is part of our TODO list).
RollingWindows and indicators are not back adjusted automatically.
However, once we have the dividend information, we can perform the adjustment in OnData event handler:
// Update this to Dividends dictionary public void OnData(Dividends data) { var dividend = data[_symbol]; }

Is shutting down the system once a day and restarting it to get split adjusted historic data for algorithm warm up a valid work around?
Alexandre Catarino
Yes, it is.
Also, we don't need to redeployed it every day, only after split events.
