How much chart history is available?
Quick answer
Forex pairs and metals have chart history back to 2000, and Bitcoin back to 2015. Other instruments have history from when PropExecutor's live feed began recording them. History loads automatically as traders scroll back, on every timeframe from one minute to daily.
Detailed answer
Long history gives traders context for support and resistance, seasonal patterns and past volatility.
Sources
- Forex and metals: historical minute data imported back to 2000.
- Bitcoin: historical data back to 2015.
- Live data: every tick from the live feed is stored and rolled into one-minute bars continuously.
How it is served
All chart timeframes are built from the same one-minute bars, so a daily candle is exactly the sum of its minute candles. History loads in pages as the trader scrolls left, keeping the chart fast.
Why it matters for a prop terminal
Traders compare the terminal with their usual charting platform. A chart that only shows a few weeks of data pushes them elsewhere for analysis, and makes the terminal feel less complete. Deep history keeps analysis and execution in one place.
Where it differs from live prices
Historical candles use bid prices; live trading fills at the bid or ask. This is standard practice and the reason a buy fill can be slightly above the last candle's close.
