  1. Sir what is the source of this data ?? Is it Google data or is it taken from some trading terminal or something else ?

    • Hi Rajen
      This data is compiled into one folder from various sources. And yes Google is one of the source

  6. sir, bank nifty 2015 march 30 (9.50 to 3.30) data shows something wrong. can u check this pls.

  7. Hi,

    A very informative site. I have downloaded the Intraday Data yesterday. Its upto 29-Jun-2016. Thanks for the data. I wish, I would get more IEOD data from you 😉 It will help me to prepare for intraday trading.

    If yes then please let me know about the frequency of uploads. Another thing which would help me and others who download data from you. Please put the new data in another folder so that one need not download repeated data.

    I am asking for more, but I remember the TATA SKY ad…. “Puch dala to life zingalala….. ” 🙂

    Once again thanks for the informative site, some of the excel sheets did helped me.

    Bye.

    • Hi Anand,

      Thanks for your kind words! Intraday data is updated every month, so you will find July month’s data on August 1st. And yes, we’ll try to put the latest data in new folder from the next time.

  8. sir, Bank nifty 2015 march 30 and june 24 showing wrong data. Any possibilities to get it corrected. Thanks for your selfless efforts behind it.

  9. This website is very usefull ,post any high profitable signals afl code.thank u.

  10. Is there any way to get MCX data for the last one year monthly contracts

  13. Will you provide Intraday data for individual stocks in NSE cash market?
    Thanks

  14. Also, Thanks for providing Nifty Intraday data. Searched many places , found your site after a while. Thanks for the effort 🙂

  15. Thanks
    Pl provide latest data also because analysis are done for the future based on the previous data. If the is not updated on daily basis the analysis will get distorted. The real utility of intraday data is done for the next date of trading.
    I hope this point will be useful to consider for updating data on daily basis like a Bhavcopy.

  16. Dear Admin,

    First of all Hats off to your moto …Sharing is caring….

    Regarding my query

    There are diff types of folders like
    Year wise & consolidated

    Shall we import all folders ?

    Or shall we import only consolidated ? or Only yer wise ?

    Can we have another codes back fill if you can ?

    • Hi Viral,

      Thank you! For the first time, you should import only consolidated folder. Then every month, you may just import the respective months folder. If you have the trial version of Ami you have to import consolidated folder each time you open Amibroker as the data doesn’t save. Hope I was clear.

      • Yes admin it was clear and thanks for finding time to help each other

        I found after importing data …Bank nifty 2015 data – consolidated has some closing errors in 2015 data where in close for 2/3 months shows 1613 odd…

        it spoils the chart also and than i imported month wise also ….

        Its giving same error in bank nifty…

        pls check and reply

  17. i dont have words how to thank you…because this is the data what lot of vendors are selling for more than 10,000 or 20,000… i am shocked and surprised to get it free here…god bless you and your family….

  18. it will also be very useful if u could upload NIFTY IT or cnx IT as it was called earlier because it would be very useful for breadth analysis…

  19. i dont mind to pay a reasonable price …in case if u have for nifty IT data..you dont have to do it free…

  24. Hi
    Thanks for the help with the spot data. Would you be kind enough to update the futures data too.

  26. How do you backtest contract wise data on Amibroker, in the absence of continuous data

    • Hi Mithoon,

      I assume you are talking about future contracts which is not continuous. We can definitely backtest it like any other instruments but there would be rollover costs during expiry. Or you can code your strategy such that it squares off all open positions on Expiry Day

  27. Hello Sir, Thanks a lot for the valuable input !
    Is it possible for you to share intraday data of some major individual stocks as well.

    • Hi Saurabh,

      Right now we do not have historical data for all individual stocks. But we are working to source it.

  28. Thank you. This is a fabulous resource. In the 2017 files, what does the number in the last column (AFTER the close price) on each line indicate?

  29. Hi, where can I find the data for May 2017? Also, can you give us a choice of downloading the entire zip, or just for the previous 2-3 months. Because, for those of us who have already downloaded the large zip file, we only need to download two small files at the end of each month. Thanks.

  30. Thanks buddy, do you have one month nifty and bank nifty futures data with volume as well

    • Not currently, but we are trying to source the date. Will keep you updated.

  31. Do you have Intraday 1 Minute data for Nifty options and Banknifty options?

  32. This is to bring to your kind attention that BNF data for 30032015 from 9:56 till 15:30 and BNF data for 24062015 from 9:19 till 1530 is absurd abnormaly low. Please rectify it

  33. hello, please guide if there is a way to download the live Nifty data (you have already share the link to down load it in excel), and then prepare the 1 minute, 5 minute candle chart or line chart in excel, please guide

  35. sir , doing wonderful job by your helping hands.
    i have downloaded zip file and have data till may. so what should i do for getting data for june ,july , aug. i have to again download whole file again or only threee months data i can get .

  36. Hi There,
    Please advise if you have uploaded August 1Min Data. That will help a lot.
    Also kindly request you to guide how we can download 1 Min data.

    Kind Regards,
    Srikanth

  37. I really appreciate what you are doing, thank you. Do you have minutely data for Equities? that will be very helpful!

  38. Hi Admin, after updating the dataset in Amibroker, I see only green bars/candles that too on a daily basis- 1 min and other time frames are not showing any bars/candles. Do you mind helping out here?

  39. Hi Admin,
    After updating the data in Amibroker (registered version), I am getting daily, weekly and monthly candles but not 1-min candles. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

  42. You did the same thing again!! – even after agreeing to name the file according to month and here I am asking for the latest data again.

    • Hi Anaika,

      We get tons of requests each day and its difficult to prioritize a single request out of order. We understand your concern and it would be addressed soon. Til then, why don’t you do some manual work from your end. Sincere apologies for the delay.

      • Dear Admin,

        You are getting me wrong. Just check and read my post on Nov 11 2017. I am trying to help reduce your workload in a way. I thought I should contribute when I am getting the data for no cost. I am sorry if you feel offended.

  43. Dear Admin, really appreciate your efforts.
    Do you know where can I get hourly data. Actually I want to back test some strategy on hourly data and hence copy paste it in excel then apply macro. (day hour high open close low). Or even like the data you given here. But need hourly data only.

    Kindly let me know.

    • Hi Prafull,

      There are excel tools available over internet which can convert 1 minute data into hourly

  44. how to do the back testing with the data? might be a stupid question but am new to this.

    • Hi Sumit,

      Yo need to import this data into software like Amibroker and backtest your strategy there.

  45. What is the 8th column in the data? I tried to verify if it’s volume but the data for 8th column doesn’t match for volumes data.

  47. Sir please can you advise if Near month Bank Nifty data is available.. i require for 30 Mins
