SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the challenge of obtaining reliable, backtest-ready market data by fetching raw Dukascopy tick data and producing deterministic CSV candles with a provenance metadata file.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Download raw Dukascopy tick data for specified symbols and date ranges.
  • Convert tick data into deterministic OHLCV candles across chosen timeframes (e.g., 1min, 5min, 1H, 1D).
  • Generate a metadata sidecar documenting parameters and data provenance for reproducibility.
  • Backfill missing periods by re-running exports to ensure complete backtests.
  • Probe instruments to determine price format and scaling needs.

Quick Start

Use the tradedesk-dukascopy tool to export a 5-minute candle series for EURUSD from 2025-01-01 to 2025-01-31.

FAQPage Schema
How do I download Dukascopy tick data and convert it to OHLCV candles for backtesting?

To download Dukascopy tick data and convert it to OHLCV candles for backtesting, specify your symbols and date ranges to fetch raw ticks, then aggregate them into deterministic candles across chosen timeframes with CSV exports.

Can I export multiple timeframe candles from the same Dukascopy data range?

You can export multiple timeframe candles from the same Dukascopy data range by processing the fetched tick data into configurable OHLCV intervals like 1-minute, 5-minute, 1-hour, and 1-day candles.

Does the Dukascopy data export include metadata for backtest reproducibility?

The Dukascopy data export includes a metadata sidecar that documents parameters and data provenance, ensuring your backtesting pipeline remains fully reproducible across multiple runs.

What is the best way to backfill missing periods in historical market data exports?

The best way to backfill missing periods in historical market data exports is re-running the pipeline for the specified date ranges to fetch and convert any absent Dukascopy tick data into complete candle series.

Do I need to probe instruments before fetching Dukascopy market data?

You should probe instruments before fetching Dukascopy market data to determine their specific price format and scaling needs, ensuring your OHLCV candle outputs are scaled correctly for backtesting.

Are Dukascopy tick data exports cached for repeated backtest runs?

Dukascopy tick data exports are cached within the reproducible pipeline, preventing redundant downloads and accelerating subsequent backtest data generation for overlapping date ranges.
