Download the complete Gold (XAU/USD) price history
Gold is the most-requested market on this site — so here is the whole of it. The MarketData Hub Client fetches every tick of XAU/USD from Dukascopy Bank SA, on your own machine, and writes it to your disk. We never touch the data and we never sell it: the app is how you get it.
The full XAU/USD archive
| Instrument | Spot Gold — XAU/USD |
|---|---|
| Tick data from | 5 May 2003 — every quote, millisecond-stamped, bid & ask |
| Daily candles from | 3 June 1999 |
| Timeframes | Tick, 1s, 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1M — your choice at download time |
| Formats | CSV and JSON on every tier; MetaTrader, NinjaTrader, Parquet and SQLite/DuckDB on Pro |
| Source | Dukascopy Bank SA's public quote archive — the same bank data professionals backtest on |
That opens the app's picker on XAU/USD, where you set the range and timeframe and see the exact file you'd get — before installing anything.
Why fetch it with the app, not buy a dataset
Anyone can sell you a stale CSV. The MarketData Hub Client pulls the gold history fresh, on your own machine, in your own name, straight from Dukascopy Bank SA — current to within a day or two, complete to the tick, and yours to re-fetch whenever you want. Nothing about what you download passes through us: MarketData Hub sells the software, never the data.
How to get it
- Install the app — free for Windows, macOS, Linux, once you have an account.
- Activate a licence — €5.60+ one-time; it is what lets the app fetch. No subscription, no per-machine limit.
- Pick XAU/USD, a range and a timeframe and run it — the app writes gold straight to your disk and resumes on its own if a long tick run is interrupted.
The download is free; a licence from €5.60 is what activates it. Every tier reaches the whole gold archive — the tiers differ only by export formats and automation.
Gold questions, answered
How far back does the gold data go?
Tick-by-tick to 5 May 2003, and daily candles to 3 June 1999. Every licence tier reaches the entire archive — history depth is never a paywall here.
Is the XAU/USD data tick-level?
Yes — raw ticks with bid, ask and millisecond timestamps, or any candle timeframe from one second to one month, chosen at download time.
What does it cost?
A one-time software licence from €5.60. The gold data itself carries no per-download and no per-gigabyte charge — the licence buys the software, and the software fetches as much gold history as you like.
Can I use the gold data for backtesting or commercially?
