Important change to handling of Adjusted Daily Close prices for stocks.
The P&F app uses the stock data provider AlphaVantage to obtain price data for use in the app. This service is used by many stock analysis applications. However, AlphaVantage has recently moved to a "pay to use" model for adjusted daily stock prices - they originally provided these for free. All other available data is still free.
P&F Charts used to default to using daily adjusted close prices but this now fails unless you have a premium AlphaVantage key. This version of the app has been changed to default to non-adjusted close data to avoid the need for a premium key.
However, if you wish to use this data type, you will need to perform the following additional steps:
- Purchase your own premium key from AlphaVantage (not facilitated by this app) at https://www.alphavantage.co/premium/. Please Note: The developer of P&F Charts is not in any way associated with AlphaVantage and receives no gains should you choose to obtain a premium AlphaVantage key.
- Update the P&F App to use this new key (in place of the free default one provided by the app) by navigating to the "Support" screen and choosing the "Update AlphaVantage Key" option.
3. Change to use Daily Adjusted prices on your chosen stock by:
... displaying the desired stock and using the "Parameters" button at the bottom
... tapping the "Price Time Interval" option under 'Stock Price Data'
... choosing 'Daily Adjusted' from the list
...and tapping OK to the warning message provided
