Timeframes

The candle intervals the API accepts, from one minute to one week, plus raw ticks. How far back each one goes depends on your plan: see the usage limits.

#1m

One candle per minute. The finest aggregated view, for intraday strategies and execution.

#5m

Five minutes. Short-term trading without the noise of the minute.

#15m

A quarter of an hour. A common base for intraday signals.

#30m

Half an hour, between intraday and the hourly view. Not served on the intraday macro candles.

#1h

One hour. The usual timeframe for dashboards and swing signals.

#4h

Four hours. Reads the trend of a trading session.

#1d

One day. Backtests, daily reporting and long trends.

#1w

One week. Served on the technical indicators only; the other bucketed routes stop at the day.

#ticks

No timeframe: each trade one by one, spot and futures, up to ten thousand per call. The raw material the candles are built from.
