OHLCVT stands for Open, High, Low, Close, Volume and Trades and represents the following trading information within each time frame (such as one minute, five minute, hourly, daily, etc.):

  • Open: the first traded price
  • High: the highest traded price
  • Low: the lowest traded price
  • Close: the final traded price
  • Volume: the total volume traded by all trades
  • Trades: the number of individual trades

Each ZIP file contains the relevant CSV files for 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240, 720 and 1440 minute intervals, which can be viewed in a text editor, used in code, converted into other formats (such as JSON, XML, etc.) or imported into a graphical charting application.

Note that the OHLCVT data only includes entries for intervals when trades happened, so any missing candlesticks indicate that no trades occurred during those intervals. Charting software often provides an option to display/hide empty intervals, which could be used to replace the missing candlesticks if needed.
