Market data

Data is where you download and maintain the series used by Generator, Validation, and the Databank. Canonical storage is M1; other timeframes are resampled when needed.

Data management. Click to zoom.

​
Download a symbol

  1. Open Data.
  2. Pick catalog symbol, timeframe, and date range.
  3. Click Download. The download runs as a background job on the server worker (it does not block the API).
  4. Track progress in the same view or in Jobs.
The first download of a long range can take a while. That is expected.

​
History limits by plan

The range is clipped to your plan cap and the instrument’s earliest M1 date. This is not a monthly counter: it is how many years you can request in one download (to − from). The download dialog shows presets that fit your plan and a footer with the cap. Generate and validation only see your subscription, not canonical M1 another user already downloaded. Full table: Plans and billing.

​
Update

  • Update on an existing symbol: extend or refresh M1 (update dialog).
  • Update all / Update selected: batch-refresh your subscriptions. Confirm the dialog before continuing.

​
Subscriptions

Downloading usually subscribes you to that symbol/timeframe so you can update later. You can unsubscribe in the UI when you no longer need it.

​
Conversion pairs (FX / USD PnL)

If a symbol needs a conversion pair for USD metrics/sizing, the UI may warn that you must download that pair for the same range. Without it, backtests may warn that metrics are not in USD.

​
Relation to the TPA

Downloads here feed the cloud. When you run a compute job on the TPA, the agent syncs its local M1 cache from what is available. You need both: data in the app + an online TPA.
