Questions
Before you download.
When does the USDJPY tick data start?
On 2003-05-04 (UTC), and it is updated every day. You can download the full history or choose a range of dates.
How much is the full history?
About 2.3 GB to download, about 515 million in all. The client downloads by day and doesn't download a day it already has. The size of the exported files depends on the format and the timeframe.
Is there data at the weekend?
These symbols don't trade on Saturday, so there is no Saturday file. The week opens on Sunday evening UTC, so Sunday's file only holds quotes from the open onward.
How do I buy only USDJPY?
Choose the single symbol plan on the client's License page. Monthly is $1.20 / month, with updates for the next 30 days included; one-time is $5.80, with future updates included. Both download this symbol's full history. See pricing
Can I try it first for free?
Yes. Get a free trial code to download the last 7 days of ticks for one symbol, and keep it up to date for the 7 days.
