NZD/USD coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
NZD/USD does not start at the same date at every granularity: daily candles begin 1991-07-08, but the tick archive only reaches 2003-08-03, roughly 12 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 NZD/USD series
NZD/USD is the thinnest of the majors, and its spreads widen noticeably outside Asian and Australasian hours. That matters more than it sounds: a strategy backtested on mid prices can look profitable on NZD/USD and be entirely eaten by the spread in practice. If you are testing this pair, fetch the tick data with both bid and ask rather than working from OHLC mid candles.

Frequently asked questions
- How far back does NZD/USD data go?
- NZD/USD daily and monthly candles reach back to 1991-07-08 — 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 NZD/USD tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly NZD/USD candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1991-07-08, 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 NZD/USD start date available.
- How large is a full NZD/USD download?
- The complete NZD/USD 1-minute history is roughly 8.3M rows, about 417 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 8,800 rows, 442 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 NZD/USD 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 NZD/USD data?
- No — we sell software. The MarketData Hub client retrieves New Zealand Dollar vs US Dollar (NZD/USD) 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.
