AUD/CHF coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
AUD/CHF does not start at the same date at every granularity: daily candles begin 1991-11-22, but the tick archive only reaches 2006-03-01, roughly 15 years later. Each row below gives that timeframe's own start date and scale, current through 2026-08-01:

Counts are approximate, derived from forex session hours across the available history. Tick and 1-second runs are queued and resumable rather than fetched in one pass. See the data methodology for how candles are built.
Working with the AUD/CHF series
A pure risk-on/risk-off construction: the commodity currency on one side, the haven on the other, with no dollar leg to muddy the reading. That purity is also the trap — in calm regimes it trends gently, and in stress it moves like a different pair entirely (15 January 2015 repriced every CHF cross in minutes). Regime-switching behaviour this stark breaks single-regime models; test the two states separately.

Frequently asked questions
- How far back does AUD/CHF data go?
- AUD/CHF daily and monthly candles reach back to 1991-11-22 — roughly 35 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2006-03-01. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.
- Why does AUD/CHF tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly AUD/CHF candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1991-11-22, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2006-03-01, about 15 years later. If your study needs the full 35-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2006-03-01 is the earliest AUD/CHF start date available.
- How large is a full AUD/CHF download?
- The complete AUD/CHF 1-minute history is roughly 7.4M rows, about 371 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 8,700 rows, 437 KB. Tick and 1-second runs are larger again and are queued and resumable rather than fetched in one pass. Sizes are approximate; nothing is priced by volume.
- What columns are in the AUD/CHF CSV file?
- OHLC files contain a timestamp plus open, high, low and close columns (with volume); tick files contain a timestamp with bid and ask prices. All timestamps are UTC. The files import directly into Excel, Google Sheets, Python (pandas read_csv), R, MetaTrader, NinjaTrader and TradingView.
- Do you sell AUD/CHF data?
- No — we sell software. The MarketData Hub client retrieves Australian Dollar vs Swiss Franc (AUD/CHF) on your own machine, under your instruction, directly from the source; we never host, cache or relay it. Your use of the retrieved data is subject to the source's terms.
