Indicates whether stocks that delisted due to bankruptcies, acquisitions, etc. are included in the dataset. Datasets with delisted stocks provide a more complete historical record, while datasets without delisted stocks are said to have "survivorship bias". Read a blog post about survivorship bias.
Price type
Pricing data can either be "consolidated" or from the "primary exchange". Consolidated prices provide combined trading activity from all exchanges within a country.

Primary exchange prices provide a truer indication of the opening and closing auction price. Learn more.
