# 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:

* 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 15-, 39-, 65-, 78-, 130-, and 195-minute bars going back 20 days.
* 10- and 30-minute bars going back 40 days.
* 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.  \

The starting date for its data is listed on the right side of the search results.
