About Finwin History

FinWin provides up to 2 years worth of history on any stock, future, index or mutual fund. The history is compiled and stored each night on Finwin's historical archive servers. The fields are slightly different for each type of instrument retrieved.
FinWin History provides data on 4 types of instruments:
  • Equity (Stocks) - Equity data is returned with the fields: Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume.
  • Fut (Futures) - Futures data is returned with the fields: Date, Open, High, Low, Close, OpenInterest and Volume.
  • Mutual (Mutual Funds) - Mutual Fund Data is returned with the fields: Date and Close.
  • Index (Indices) - Index data is returned with the fields: Date, Open, High, Low and Close.

An updated server has been installed to provide you with many additional features. These are implemented in Version 3 and the parameters are listed in the highlighted section below.
*Note: the data for Version 3 is returned in the opposite order (newest to oldest) as Version 2. This offers much improved performance over Version 2.
