CAD/CHF coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
CAD/CHF does not start at the same date at every granularity: daily candles begin 1991-11-22, but the tick archive only reaches 2006-01-02, 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 CAD/CHF series
Oil exposure against a haven, and one of the thinner CHF crosses — which is exactly the combination that produces ugly gaps: the January 2015 SNB morning left holes in every CHF pair, and the thinner the cross, the wider the unfillable zone. If your strategy uses stops on this pair, model slippage from the tick data around known CHF and oil shock dates, not from average conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- How far back does CAD/CHF data go?
- CAD/CHF daily and monthly candles reach back to 1991-11-22 — roughly 35 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2006-01-02. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.
- Why does CAD/CHF tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly CAD/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 2006-01-02, about 15 years later. If your study needs the full 35-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2006-01-02 is the earliest CAD/CHF start date available.
- How large is a full CAD/CHF download?
- The complete CAD/CHF 1-minute history is roughly 7.5M rows, about 373 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 CAD/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 CAD/CHF data?
- No — we sell software. The MarketData Hub client retrieves Canadian Dollar vs Swiss Franc (CAD/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.
