How far back does XAU/JPY data go?

XAU/JPY history runs from 2024-09-17 — roughly 2 years — up to the last completed trading day, at every timeframe from raw ticks to monthly candles. Every licence tier reaches all of it.

How large is a full XAU/JPY download?

The complete XAU/JPY 1-minute history is roughly 679K rows, about 34 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 470 rows, 24 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.

Working with the XAU/JPY series

Listed September 2024, this is the youngest gold cross here — but the concept it prices is old and important: gold versus the currency of the world's largest net creditor, the classic yen-debasement hedge. With almost no listed history, treat quoted-series statistics as meaningless for now and build the long view synthetically from XAU/USD × USD/JPY.
