Working with the XAG/HKD series
Silver in Hong Kong dollars is silver in US dollars scaled by the peg — the HKD has been fixed to the USD since 1983 — so this series adds conversion convenience, not information. For analysis, use XAG/USD; use this one only if your books are kept in HKD. Daily data reaches 1990, tick data 2011, the standard metals gap.

Frequently asked questions
- How far back does XAG/HKD data go?
- XAG/HKD daily and monthly candles reach back to 1990-01-02 — roughly 36 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2011-09-19. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.
- Why does XAG/HKD tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly XAG/HKD candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1990-01-02, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2011-09-19, about 21 years later. If your study needs the full 36-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2011-09-19 is the earliest XAG/HKD start date available.
- How large is a full XAG/HKD download?
- The complete XAG/HKD 1-minute history is roughly 5.4M rows, about 270 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 9,200 rows, 461 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 XAG/HKD 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.

- No — we sell software. The MarketData Hub client retrieves Silver vs Hong Kong Dollar (XAG/HKD) 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.
