backtesting .... help

    G'day,

    I'm doing a little backtesting of some fairly simple ideas (mainly trend identification).

    So as not to corrupt the identification of trends I need to initially "smooth out" the dividend effect. Is there a standard, accepted formula for this?

    Any help greatly appreciated.
