Determing Maximum Date Range

Post by Trader2384 »

Is there a way to tell how far back the history goes for a particular symbol before downloading? Ex. on what date does the historical data for EURUSD start?

Good information, thanks. Before receiving this reply, I download EURUSD tick data starting 29-mar-2006 which appears to be intact but according to Tom's post the data doesn't start until 30-mar-2007 16:00. If that is true, then why are bars being drawn for dates before then?

Also, does that starting date apply to all timeframes? That what it sounds like from Tom's post.

Hi Trader2384,

Yes, you are correct - it appears that Dukascopy has extended the available data to 2006 which is positive news. If you have any updates to the date ranges, appreciate if you could share them on Tom's post as I'm sure other users will find this of great use!

Thanks.
