Every US Dollar Index timeframe shares the same 2017-12-01 start date, but not the same scale — coarser candles stay small while tick and intraday files grow fast. Current through 2026-08-01:

Timeframe	History from	Approx. rows	Approx. CSV
Tick (every quote)	2017-12-01	very large	—

Counts are approximate, derived from index 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 US Dollar Index series

A dollar-index CFD in the DXY tradition: a fixed six-currency basket in which the euro alone weighs over half, yen and sterling most of the rest. It is therefore a dollar-versus-Europe/Japan gauge, not the trade-weighted "broad dollar" economists cite — emerging-market currencies, including the renminbi, are absent entirely. The 2022 surge to two-decade highs is the modern reference move. If your research question involves EM or China, this is the wrong index for it.
