# Adjust for a Stock Split

There is nothing specific in MotiveWave® for handling stock splits (except when importing data). All of our supported brokers and data services provide split adjusted historical data.

However, you may still see pre-split adjusted data if you were looking at the chart before a split occurred. This is because MotiveWave® maintains a cache of historical data for all instruments that you are tracking. When you open a chart, MotiveWave® will pull data from the local cache before requesting new data from the broker/data service. If a split occurs, the local cached data will not be adjusted for the split.

You can work around this issue by clearing the data in the local cache and loading a fresh copy of the split adjusted data. Simply right click on the chart and choose **Clear Local Data**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.motivewave.com/knowledge-base/charts/adjust-for-a-stock-split.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
