Apache Parquet — a columnar format that's fast to read and compact to store. It works natively with Python (pandas, polars), R (arrow), DuckDB, Spark, and most modern data tools. Each bundle is delivered as a .tar.gz archive containing Parquet files.
The dataset is regenerated daily. When you purchase, you receive the full historical snapshot. After that, you can download small daily delta files containing just the new data — append them to your local dataset to stay current. No need to re-download the full bundle. Your purchase includes a license key for the delta API.
Yes. All OHLCV data is split-adjusted. Our pipeline detects and repairs split events automatically, so you don't need to handle them in your backtesting code.
We track 5,300+ Canadian tickers across TSX, TSXV, and CSE, plus additional Canadian-listed data where available. The export is intentionally broad and includes all available rows in our source tables so you can apply your own filters.
Yes — for your own research, backtesting, and trading. The license does not permit redistribution or resale of the raw data. See our Terms of Service for details.
The Daily bundle is approximately 200 MB compressed. The Daily + Minute bundle is larger because it includes Canadian intraday bars. Parquet's columnar compression keeps file sizes manageable, and each export includes metadata with current row counts.
We run automated validation on every export — checking row counts, duplicate keys, required fields, and obvious OHLCV anomalies. If you find a problem, email us and we'll investigate. The data is provided as-is, but we take quality seriously.
NorthTick is an indie project by a Canadian quant developer who got tired of fighting with broken free data sources for the Canadian markets. We built this dataset for our own trading systems and decided to share it.
