HFDF - High Frequency Data in Finance

Data description 

Olsen Financial Technologies (Zürich) HFDF data are comprised of two sets of intra-day foreign exchange trading observations:

  • HFDF 1994-2004 intra-day trading data for the EUR vs. USD, JPY & GBP, from 1 October 1994 to 30 September 2004. (Pre-1999 data is denominated in Deutschmarks, ie: DEM vs. USD, JPY & GBP)
  • HFDF 1992-1993, from 1 Oct. 1992 to 30 Sept. 1993.

Included with the data are FX rate quotes for USD-DEM; USD-JPY; and the cross rate for DEM-JPY, as well as 3-month maturity inter-bank deposit rates for USD, DEM and JPY.

 

Each record includes the time of Olsen Financial's observation, a bid quote, an ask quote, a validity flag and the name and location of the reporting bank or institution.

The HFDF '92/'93 data set was originally made public to encourage a broad range of research investigations in March 1995 during the First International Conference on HFDF in Zürich.
