Frequently asked questions
- How far back does British American Tobacco PLC data go?
- British American Tobacco PLC daily and monthly candles reach back to 2011-01-04 — roughly 15 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2016-09-06. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.
- Why does British American Tobacco PLC tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly British American Tobacco PLC candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 2011-01-04, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2016-09-06, about 5 years later. If your study needs the full 15-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2016-09-06 is the earliest British American Tobacco PLC start date available.
