Historical Data File Sizes

Post by Trader2384 »

I downloaded 4 different data files spanning 4 years in 1 year increments but I noticed that the downloaded file sizes vary dramatically from year to year from 1/2 Gb to 1.5 Gb. Shouldn't they all be about the same size? When I check the offline files it shows the expected date range but I just want to make sure the data is in fact all there.

Hi Trader2384,

The size of the data files are obviously going to be correlated with trading activity. If you have downloaded the data range and no errors appear in the log window then you can assume everything was downloaded correctly.

Regards.
