Summary

This platform support note explains where users can look for Chinese index data in BigQuant. It says the newer data platform provides broad-market index data and that industry index coverage is planned for later addition. For the older data platform, it points users to daily index bars and an index basic-information table, which can be queried to inspect instruments and their metadata.

The note is useful for data discovery rather than trading research: it does not enumerate the available index symbols or explain historical coverage, update frequency, or field definitions. Its answer reflects the platform state described at the time of the update, so availability may have changed. A researcher should verify current coverage in the platform before building a dataset, especially when seeking a specific sector index that was reported as unavailable.

Key ideas

  • The newer BigQuant data platform was described as offering broad-market index data.
  • The support response said industry index data would be added later.
  • The older platform provides daily index bars and a basic-information table for identifying instruments.
  • The note does not list symbols or document data history, refresh schedules, or fields.
