Coverage

Market data your backtests can trust. The whole market, remembered: every one of the 16,000+ US stocks that has traded on the NYSE and Nasdaq in the last 26+ years, delisted included, point in time. Around them: 139 futures markets with every contract since 2007, the VIX and Cboe volatility indexes with the VIX futures curve, options-market gamma for single stocks, ETFs and the major indexes, 231 ETFs, and crypto since 2015. Macro exactly as it was known: 18,000+ series including CPI, payrolls, wages, GDP and the Treasury yield curve, every vintage kept. Plus COT positioning since 1986. Bars at every resolution you backtest on: 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, hourly and daily, with tick-level trades on the Institutional plan. In pandas with one line: pip install finzdata.

Why FinzData for agents

• Survivorship-free. Universes include every company that traded on a date, delisted names included.
• Point-in-time. Every data tool takes as_of, so answers contain only what was public that day: fundamentals as filed, and macro series as first published (ALFRED vintages).
• Backtests run on the server. Describe a strategy and get back CAGR, volatility, Sharpe, drawdown, turnover, a benchmark, an equity curve, a reproducible run_id and a deflated Sharpe ratio that counts every variant you tried.
