Finding Hourly Historical Data for the DAX Index

Article Quant Q&A · Author: Mateusz Zaborski
Read the original

Summary

The question asks where to obtain hourly open, high, low, and close history for the DAX itself, rather than a broker’s CFD that tracks the index. The accepted reply points to Google Finance data for the DAX index and describes requesting hourly intervals with a limited history window.

The answer offers a practical data-source lead, but it does not compare providers, establish the underlying feed’s provenance, or discuss coverage, quality, or licensing. Researchers should verify that the returned series represents the desired index and suits their analysis before relying on it.

Key ideas

  • The question distinguishes DAX index data from a CFD that tracks the index.
  • The reply suggests Google Finance as a source for hourly DAX observations.
  • The recommendation provides no evidence about data quality, provenance, or licensing.

# DAX historical data H1 interval


# DAX historical data H1 interval












I need pure DAX historical data on H1 interval (open, high, low, close). I can download data e.g from Dukascopy but this is DEU index (CFD for DAX) not DAX.

Where I can find good data (not CFD for DAX, not from MM broker etc.)? Can be paid.
