Candle spikes on SPY

CDS2233

Can candle spikes be seen in stockcharts.com charts for example SPY like they can be seen in MetaStock?

I've never used Metastock, but if you see a difference, it would be due to a difference in data vendors, not a policy not to show extreme prices. SC adjusts vendor data dividends, but you can also see the unadjusted data by adding a leading underscore to the symbol. In any case, I doubt data adjustment would wipe out a spike. You can see the data SC uses to create the chart under the Past Data link under every chart.
