Does anyone know of a free source for downloading historical stock data that has OHLC on an unadjusted basis and also on an adjusted basis?

I know that Yahoo data is adjusted for the close but OHL are not adjusted. I am looking for across the board unadjusted and adjusted data sets.

You don't see (like me having lunch in another room), so your 2nd stop limit still there, it's not automatically cancelled...

Long term channel has been acting as resistance/support...now sitting right under...today is a turn day... Do you mean that today is a turn day, after the move that we have just seen or before the move that we have just seen? RSI on the 15 minute is overbought, at 74.90, so we would need a breather...

Gappy “I read in no castigation on any such perspective.” Would unacceptable would be a preferred adjective? I am not trying to pick a fight but do get the definite impression that long term thoughts, however defined, are not welcome. Out of Bounds I agree with you about preachy tones and pesudo-eco...

Looking at the tone of the discussion about long term vs day trading leaves the impression that the opinions of those with longer term perspectives are not welcome on this board.
