John, Perhaps I misinterpreted Jim's question but I believe he is after the price of a stock AS IT WAS TRADING, say 60 days ago, but NOT reflecting the effects of any subsequent splits. QP functions like Close(-512) do not do this. They return the price on that date, but they also adjust the price to reflect subsequent price splits, if any. So if you are backtesting a group of rules which include rejecting stocks priced below 60, for example, you very quickly can't enforce this due to subsequent splits after the evaluation date. Similar problems affect many other variables.
