How far back does Platinum data go?

Platinum history runs from 2021-11-01 — roughly 5 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 Platinum download?

The complete Platinum 1-minute history is roughly 1.7M rows, about 86 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 1,200 rows, 60 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 Platinum CSV file?

OHLC files contain a timestamp plus open, high, low and close columns; 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.

Platinum coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe

Every Platinum timeframe shares the same 2021-11-01 start date, but not the same scale — coarser candles stay small while tick and intraday files grow fast. Current through 2026-08-01:

Timeframe	History from	Approx. rows	Approx. CSV
Tick (every quote)	2021-11-01	very large	—
1 second	2021-11-01	very large	—
1 minute	2021-11-01	~1.7M	~86 MB
5 minutes	2021-11-01	~345K	~17 MB

Counts are approximate, derived from commodity 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 Platinum series

Platinum spent a decade in gold's shadow — trading at a persistent, historically unusual discount to gold since 2015 — before 2025's supply-deficit rally finally broke it out of its long range. This series starts November 2021, so it contains the tail of the sideways regime and the breakout, and not much else. The platinum-gold ratio is the analytical frame this metal rewards; in isolation its short file says little.
