Where to start with Indices – Asia
If you are picking a first series here, depth is usually what decides it. Japan 225 (Nikkei) reaches furthest back — daily candles from 1986-09-04, about 40 years — while India 50 (Nifty 50) is the most recent addition, starting 2017-12-01. The other 4 sit between the two.
Watch the tick gap. 1 of these 6 instruments have a quote-level archive that begins years after their daily candles do — Japan 225 (Nikkei) (daily 1986-09-04, ticks 2013-01-01). 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 Indices – Asia 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 China A50 Index as the worked example, over its full history:
| Timeframe | From | Rows | CSV size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | 2017-07-17 | ~2,300 | ~115 KB |
| 1 hour | 2017-07-17 | ~55,200 | ~3 MB |
| 1 minute | 2017-07-17 | ~3.3M | ~166 MB |
| Tick (every quote) | 2017-07-17 | 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.
