Palladium coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
Every Palladium timeframe shares the same 2021-07-04 start date, but not the same scale — coarser candles stay small while tick and intraday files grow fast. Current through 2026-08-01:

Working with the Palladium series
This series begins mid-2021, near palladium's record levels, and its opening year contains the metal's final blow-off: the March 2022 Russia-supply spike to all-time highs above $3,000, followed by a collapse of roughly three-quarters as gasoline-vehicle catalyst demand faded. A file that peaks in its first months and falls for years is the ultimate start-date-sensitivity lesson: every long-horizon statistic from it is a chronicle of one great unwind.
