No-Code Strategy Testing

Identifying Profitable Strategies Used to Take Time

Unlock the power of our no-code backtesting product to test trading strategies without writing a single line of code and accelerate the idea generation process! Simply describe your trading strategy with a buy condition and a sell condition, and let our application simulate its performance using over a decade of spot pricing data!

Why robust testing matters: A strategy that works in one market environment may fail in another. Our backtesting engine evaluates your strategy across bull markets, bear markets, high volatility periods, and sideways trends. This comprehensive testing approach helps identify strategies that are truly robust rather than just lucky during specific market conditions.

CFTC Commitment of Traders Intelligence

Professional-grade market positioning analysis for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin futures across CME and major exchanges. Our sophisticated tracking system monitors weekly changes in dealer positions, asset manager flows, and leveraged money positions to provide institutional-level market intelligence.

Why this matters: Large institutional players often move markets before retail investors catch on. By tracking when dealers (market makers) increase hedging positions, when asset managers rotate into crypto, or when leveraged funds build massive long/short positions, you gain critical insights into potential price movements before they happen. This isn't just data—it's actionable market intelligence used by professional traders and funds.

A Little About us

CryptoDataDownload first saw a need for cryptocurrency data in an aggregated place for research in late 2017 and sought to fulfill it. At that time, many popular exchanges today did not exist yet! Our data is reliable, and we have been making it freely available for a long time. Not only did we quickly become the preferred destination for FREE historical cryptocurrency data, we are the best place to learn, track and analyze cryptocurrency markets. We also create analytical tools that make tracking market positioning and hypothetical analysis easy.

Leader in Free Data

CryptoDataDownload was one of the very first to offer free historical cryptocurrency data in an easy to download format (CSV) all in one place.

Leader in Risk Analytics

CryptoDataDownload continues to lead in the industry by providing risk estimation, tools, and analytics that are essential to big picture decision making.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our cryptocurrency data services, tools, and platform features.

We provide research-grade data that goes beyond basic OHLCV. Our platform includes enhanced datasets like tick-level data, on-chain blockchain data statistics for Bitcoin and Ethereum, CFTC commitment of traders data for crypto futures open interest positioning of the big players, enhanced volatility files with movement predictions, volume statistical summaries, technical indicators (including candlesticks!) that are pre-calculated across 70+ indicators, US treasury yield data, and sophisticated risk analytics including VaR calculations. Plus, we offer unique AI-powered tools for strategy backtesting without requiring programming skills.

We provide data services that the other cryptocurrency providers don't!

Our AI-powered backtesting tool lets you describe your trading strategy in plain English! Simply explain your buy and sell conditions (e.g., "Buy when RSI drops below 30, sell when it rises above 70"), and our system converts this into executable code that tests against over a decade of Bitcoin historical data. No programming required! Try our strategy tool here.

CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) data shows the positioning of large institutional players in cryptocurrency futures markets. This includes dealers (market makers), asset managers (hedge funds), and leveraged funds. By tracking when these "smart money" players increase or decrease their positions, you can gain insights into potential market movements before they happen. We track this data for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other major crypto futures contracts.

Plus+ gives you access to a variety of intelligence assets, tools, data files, CFTC tracking, dashboards, and our data science code library. This service is geared towards individuals who are looking to get started quickly and access a high variety of information.
API provides programmatic access to all our data endpoints for building applications, models, and automated systems.
PRO combines both Plus+ and API access at a discounted rate, to give you access to everything we do!

Choose based on whether you need files (Plus+), programmatic access (API), or both (PRO).

Data is updated generally on an end of day basis. This gives us the ability to review, sanitize, and identify any gaps due to either upstream providers or an error in the staging process. Once this process is complete, we enhance the data with additional informational overlays (technical indicators, metrics, summaries). CFTC COT reports updates every Friday after market close for the previous Tuesday, so there is a slight lag - but that is how the government provides it. API users get access to the data as soon as it is loaded to our database backend.

Yes! Our data is licensed for both commercial and research use. Many hedge funds, prop trading firms, academic researchers, and fintech companies use our services. You can build applications, create investment strategies, conduct academic research, or integrate our data into your commercial products. We only ask that you don't redistribute raw datasets to third parties. For high-volume commercial use or redistribution needs, please contact us for enterprise licensing options.

For quick conversions, we recommend ConvertCSV.com - a free tool that converts CSV files to JSON, XML, SQL, Excel, and many other formats. They also offer an API for automated conversions. For programmatic users, our API returns data in JSON format, and most programming languages (Python, R, JavaScript) can easily work with both CSV and JSON data types.

We provide data from 20+ major exchanges including Binance, Bitstamp, Gemini, Bitfinex, FTX (historical), Deribit, and many others. Our coverage includes 1000+ cryptocurrencies from Bitcoin and Ethereum to emerging altcoins. We offer spot, futures, and options data where available.
