How far back does EUR/CHF data go?

EUR/CHF daily and monthly candles reach back to 1991-01-14 — roughly 35 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2003-08-03. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.

Why does EUR/CHF tick data start later than its daily candles?

Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly EUR/CHF candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1991-01-14, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2003-08-03, about 12 years later. If your study needs the full 35-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2003-08-03 is the earliest EUR/CHF start date available.

How large is a full EUR/CHF download?

The complete EUR/CHF 1-minute history is roughly 8.3M rows, about 417 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 9,000 rows, 448 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 EUR/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.

Working with the EUR/CHF series

This is the pair the Swiss National Bank pinned: a 1.20 floor from 6 September 2011 to 15 January 2015, then a single morning in which the floor vanished and the pair fell double-digit percent with almost no tradable prices on the way down. The floor years look like free mean-reversion money in a backtest — they weren't a market, they were a policy — and the break is the canonical example of stop-loss fills that could not have happened at the modelled price. Fit nothing across January 2015 without inspecting that window tick by tick.
