  • Historical U.S. Stock Data for Backtesting — Including Delisted Tickers

    Daily and 1-minute OHLCV for 15,000+ active and 50,000+ delisted U.S. tickers, from November 2003 to the latest trading day — aggregated across 20+ venues (all major exchanges plus FINRA/TRF and OTC), rebuilt every Saturday. Each row carries both unadjusted and split/dividend-adjusted prices, so backtests are survivorship-bias-free out of the box.

    One-time CSV download — no subscription, no streaming API. Delivered by email within minutes, ready to load in Excel, Python (pandas), R, DuckDB, or backtrader / Zipline / VectorBT.

    What you are paying for

    Free price feeds and cheaper datasets exist. Here is what the price on this page buys that they usually do not:

    • 50,000+ delisted tickers with full frozen history: failed, merged, and acquired companies stay in the data — the coverage free sources silently drop, and several times more delisted names than typical paid datasets carry.
    • Adjusted and unadjusted prices side by side: every row carries raw OHLCV and split/dividend-adjusted values plus in-line Dividend and Split event columns — no separate "adjusted" and "unadjusted" downloads to buy or reconcile.
    • More than OHLCV: volume-weighted average price and transaction count in every daily and minute bar.
    • Pre-market and after-hours included: each ticker ships a regular-session minute file (09:30–16:00) and an extended-hours file starting at 04:00 Eastern.
    • Corrections applied retroactively: when a split or dividend occurs, the ticker's entire history is recomputed and replaced — adjusted columns stay consistent across the whole file, and the full bundle is rebuilt every Saturday.
    • Documented and verifiable: see the methodology and data-quality checks you can run on the free sample before buying.
