How far back does XAG/SEK data go?

XAG/SEK daily and monthly candles reach back to 1977-04-01 — roughly 49 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2011-09-18. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.

Why does XAG/SEK tick data start later than its daily candles?

Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly XAG/SEK candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1977-04-01, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2011-09-18, about 34 years later. If your study needs the full 49-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2011-09-18 is the earliest XAG/SEK start date available.

How large is a full XAG/SEK download?

The complete XAG/SEK 1-minute history is roughly 5.4M rows, about 271 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 12,500 rows, 623 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/SEK 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 Swedish Krona (XAG/SEK) 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.

Working with the XAG/SEK series

The deepest daily series in the entire silver family — April 1977 — reaching back through the 1980 Hunt brothers squeeze, silver's defining historical event, as seen from a krona perspective. The early decades predate Sweden's modern floating-rate regime (the krona floated in November 1992), so currency-leg behaviour changes character mid-series. A rare long file, with the regime-mixing caveats that length brings.
