- Column Order: date, time, open, high, low, close, volume
- Extra Columns [optional]: Prior to 9 Jul 2007 there was no such thing as intraday volume. Back then traders would use ‘tick count’ as a proxy volume. It counted the number of ‘wobbles’ in the intraday period. This was the only way to try to determine volume. If you feel it would be useful, we can include this metric, usually another column before trade volume.
