Hello,

I am observing a daily high price of 1063.40 for MELI on 7/13/2020 in my history calls. Comparing this to daily data from other sources, there appears to be a relatively large discrepancy regarding the daily high. On TOS and other data sources, I am seeing a daily high of 1,125.00, a ~$61 difference.

I noticed a similar occurence for MELI on 7/27/2020. I am reporting this as a data issue, but I am also seeking guidance as to whether there may be differences in the way QC reports its daily high data vs other sources that may be driving these discrepancies.

Thanks!

I have noticed this trend with other equities as well, with QC daily high data almost always being lower than other data sources in instances like these.

It is likely the price adjustment technique. Please post the specific tickers, dates,and external references
