CSV Columns Explained

How to Use the USTEC Data

1. Download the ZIP and extract the nine CSV files.
2. For MT5: import into the Strategy Tester or rebuild the US500 symbol history; match the exact symbol name your broker uses (US500, SPX500, SP500, USA500).
3. For Python: load with pandas, parse the Timestamp column, sort ascending and build features (returns, range, session flags).
4. Run a data-quality pass first: duplicate timestamps, OHLC violations and session gaps are the three checks that catch most bad imports.
5. Include spread and the overnight financing behavior when you interpret results — index CFDs are not futures.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("USTECm_PERIOD_M30_OHLC.csv")
df["Timestamp"] = pd.to_datetime(df["Timestamp"])
df = df.sort_values("Timestamp").set_index("Timestamp")

df["range"] = df["High"] - df["Low"]
df["body"]  = (df["Close"] - df["Open"]).abs()
df["session"] = pd.cut(df.index.hour, bins=[-1, 7, 13, 21, 24],
                       labels=["Asia", "London", "NewYork", "LateNY"])

print(df.tail())
print(df[["range", "body", "TickVolume", "Spread"]].describe())

Also Known As

USTEC is listed under several broker names: NAS100, NDX100, US100, TECH100, Nasdaq 100 Index CFD. The dataset works with any of them — rename the symbol to match your MT5 Market Watch exactly.

USTEC Historical Data — FAQ

Where can I get free Nasdaq 100 intraday data?

This page. The ZIP contains M1 to MN1 CSV files exported from a live MT5 feed — including the intraday M30/H1 history back to 2019 that Yahoo Finance and Investing.com do not offer in CSV form.

Why do M1 and M5 start recently?

MetaTrader 5 keeps a rolling window of the most recent 100,000 bars per timeframe. The M1 file therefore covers the last few months, while M30 and higher go back to 2019. This matches exactly what your terminal can hold.

Is USTEC the same as NAS100?

Yes — USTEC, NAS100, NDX100, US100 and TECH100 are broker-specific names for the same Nasdaq 100 CFD. The data works with any of them; just rename the symbol to match your broker.
