# Preliminary Financial Time Series Dataset (Version 2)
|
9 |
+
|
10 |
+
⚠️ Warning: This is a second preliminary dataset for development, testing, and feedback purposes. A stable, production-ready dataset will be released later. This time, all data in here will be available in future "stable" datasets (I guesss.. )
|
11 |
+
|
12 |
+
## Overview
|
13 |
+
|
14 |
+
This dataset contains **parquet files** with time series data for various financial instruments, collected using an improved and more stable version of our data pipeline. It builds upon the first preliminary dataset, with a refined structure and more reliable data fetching processes. The data is sourced from publicly available sources like [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com) via the `yfinance` library.
|
15 |
+
|
16 |
+
Each financial instrument includes:
|
17 |
+
- **Daily candles**: Covering multiple years of historical data.
|
18 |
+
- **Hourly candles**: Covering at least 2 years.
|
19 |
+
- **Minute candles**: Covering a shorter, recent period with high granularity.
|
20 |
+
|
21 |
+
This multi-resolution format supports models that analyze both long-term trends and short-term patterns.
|
22 |
+
|
23 |
+
## Purpose
|
24 |
+
|
25 |
+
This second preliminary dataset is designed to:
|
26 |
+
- Provide early access to reliable financial time series data.
|
27 |
+
- Enable testing and iteration of machine learning models for trading.
|
28 |
+
- Gather feedback to finalize a stable dataset format.
|
29 |
+
- Test the consistency of the data update pipeline over a few days.
|
30 |
+
|
31 |
+
## Data Structure
|
32 |
+
|
33 |
+
The dataset is organized into a clear directory structure:
|
34 |
+
- **/data/{category}/{symbol}/{symbol}.days.valid.parquet**: Daily OHLC data.
|
35 |
+
- **/data/{category}/{symbol}/{symbol}.hours.valid.parquet**: Hourly OHLC data.
|
36 |
+
- **/data/{category}/{symbol}/{symbol}.minutes.valid.parquet**: Minute OHLC data.
|
37 |
+
|
38 |
+
Only files marked as `.valid.parquet` are included in this dataset to ensure data quality and consistency. Temporary files (e.g., `fetch`, `test`, `ufetch`, `utest`, `failXX`, `ufailXX`) are excluded via `.gitignore`.
|
39 |
+
|
40 |
+
## Expected Changes
|
41 |
+
|
42 |
+
While the pipeline is more stable, this dataset remains preliminary. Potential changes include:
|
43 |
+
- Adjustments to file naming conventions.
|
44 |
+
- Reorganization into sharded folders (e.g., by year or month).
|
45 |
+
- Refinements to dataset split logic.
|
46 |
+
|
47 |
+
A stable, production-ready dataset will be released separately to ensure long-term consistency.
|
48 |
+
|
49 |
+
## Goals
|
50 |
+
The Traders-Lab datasets aim to grow in two dimensions:
|
51 |
+
- **More stocks**: Additional symbols will be added over time, with rapid expansion expected soon.
|
52 |
+
- **More data**: Short-term datasets (hourly and minute candles) will grow as more data is accumulated. While continuity of current minute data is not guaranteed yet, future updates will ensure a continuous time history.
|
53 |
+
|
54 |
+
## Non-Goals
|
55 |
+
The dataset is designed to be sufficiently up-to-date for training purposes, with data typically no more than a few days old. Real-time updates are not a goal.
|
56 |
+
|
57 |
+
## License & Usage
|
58 |
+
|
59 |
