Where to start with ETFs
If you are picking a first series here, depth is usually what decides it. PowerShares QQQ ETF (Nasdaq) reaches furthest back — daily candles from 2017-01-26, about 9 years — while ProShares Bitcoin ETF is the most recent addition, starting 2022-11-22. The other 23 sit between the two.
Watch the tick gap. 5 of these 25 instruments have a quote-level archive that begins years after their daily candles do, VanEck Semiconductor ETF among them (daily 2020-12-09, ticks 2024-10-21). If a study needs the full span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, the later date is the real start.
Each instrument page below lists its own per-timeframe start dates, row counts and file sizes.
What a ETFs download looks like
Sizes here are driven by how much of the week the market actually trades, so they differ from other asset classes. Taking SPDR S&P 500 ETF as the worked example, over its full history:
| Timeframe | From | Rows | CSV size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | 2017-02-16 | ~2,400 | ~120 KB |
| 1 hour | 2017-02-16 | ~57,700 | ~3 MB |
| 1 minute | 2017-02-16 | ~3.5M | ~173 MB |
| Tick (every quote) | 2017-02-16 | Far larger — usually gigabytes. Size a range before you run it. | |
Estimates at 50 bytes per CSV row, rounded. JSON runs larger; the file-size guide works through the arithmetic, and tick data vs OHLC covers which one you actually need.
