CAD/JPY coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
CAD/JPY does not start at the same date at every granularity: daily candles begin 1993-02-23, but the tick archive only reaches 2004-10-25, roughly 11 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/JPY series
Oil sensitivity on one leg, funding-currency dynamics on the other — CAD/JPY behaves like a leveraged bet on global growth. It inherits the yen's quoting conventions (pip = 0.01), and it inherits the carry trade's signature: drawdowns arrive faster than gains accumulated. The 2008 and 2024 unwinds are the windows to stress-test against.

Frequently asked questions
- How far back does CAD/JPY data go?
- CAD/JPY daily and monthly candles reach back to 1993-02-23 — roughly 33 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2004-10-25. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.
- Why does CAD/JPY tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly CAD/JPY candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1993-02-23, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2004-10-25, about 11 years later. If your study needs the full 33-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2004-10-25 is the earliest CAD/JPY start date available.
- How large is a full CAD/JPY download?
- The complete CAD/JPY 1-minute history is roughly 7.9M rows, about 395 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 8,400 rows, 421 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/JPY 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/JPY data?
- No — we sell software. The MarketData Hub client retrieves Canadian Dollar vs Japanese Yen (CAD/JPY) 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.
