# Historical Data

The availability of historical data on our site varies based on the specific symbol, the data bar period, and your membership level.

### By Data Bar Period <a href="#by_data_bar_period" id="by_data_bar_period"></a>

Our database has:

* Limited intraday data for 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 30-minute bars.
* Limited intraday data for 39-, 65-, 78-, 130-, and 195-minute bars.
* 60-minute bars going back to 2004.
* Daily, weekly and monthly bars going back to 1990 for most stocks, indexes and mutual funds (assuming they have been around that long).
* Daily, weekly and monthly bars going back as far as 1900 for some indexes.

### By Service Level <a href="#by_service_level" id="by_service_level"></a>

Your membership service level will determine how much historical data you can use in your charts.

* Non-members can only create charts of 5 years or less in length.
* Basic and Extra members can create charts that use data from as far back as 1980.
* PRO members can use all of our historical data in their charts with some data going back to the 1940s or earlier.  \

  To see exactly how far back we have data for a particular symbol, click the [Symbol Catalog](https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/catalog/) link at the bottom of any of our pages and search for the ticker symbol you are interested in. The starting date for its data is listed on the right side of the search results.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.stockcharts.com/data-and-ticker-symbols/data-availability/historical-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
