Real Historical Market Data

Every instrument carries roughly five years of real 1-minute candles, 2021 to 2026, sourced from Dukascopy tick data. Higher timeframes from 3-minute to weekly are aggregated from that 1-minute base, so you are replaying real market structure rather than synthetic bars. Weekend and holiday gaps are left in place instead of being filled, because a fabricated candle is worse than a missing one.
