EUR/JPY coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
EUR/JPY does not start at the same date at every granularity: daily candles begin 1989-06-28, but the tick archive only reaches 2003-08-03, roughly 14 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 EUR/JPY series
EUR/JPY is a pure carry cross with no dollar leg, which makes it useful for isolating risk appetite from dollar strength — when a study cannot tell whether it is measuring one or the other, this pair separates them. It inherits the yen's three-decimal quoting convention, so pip arithmetic follows USD/JPY's rules rather than EUR/USD's.

Frequently asked questions
- How far back does EUR/JPY data go?
- EUR/JPY daily and monthly candles reach back to 1989-06-28 — roughly 37 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/JPY tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly EUR/JPY candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1989-06-28, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2003-08-03, about 14 years later. If your study needs the full 37-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2003-08-03 is the earliest EUR/JPY start date available.
- How large is a full EUR/JPY download?
- The complete EUR/JPY 1-minute history is roughly 8.3M rows, about 417 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 9,300 rows, 467 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/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 EUR/JPY data?
- No — we sell software. The MarketData Hub client retrieves Euro vs Japanese Yen (EUR/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.
