Local market data

What market data can Zinuto import?

First, the short version

You can import CSV, JSON, Parquet, or an XLSX file with one worksheet. Each record needs date or time plus open, high, low, and close; volume is optional and becomes 0 when absent. Put one instrument in each file and one file format in each import folder. Base intervals are 1m, 5m, 1h, and 1d.

Who this is for

This is for users preparing CSV, JSON, Parquet, or XLSX files for replay. If the columns, time zone, trading sessions, or price-adjustment method are uncertain, start with one small file and inspect the preflight result.

What to take away

  • Date/time and OHLC are required; volume is optional.
  • Use one instrument per file and one file format per folder.

How Zinuto helps

Map fields

Preflight helps map date/time and OHLC fields; if volume is absent, Zinuto records it as 0.

Check quality

Preview and validation flag missing fields, invalid OHLC, conflicting duplicates, base-interval issues, time-zone evidence, and mapping mistakes before import.

What to watch

  • Folders that mix file formats, files containing multiple instruments, and XLSX files with more than one worksheet are rejected.
  • Import does not grant market-data rights. Use only data you are allowed to use, and keep the original files outside Zinuto as your backup.

Next step

  • Start with one instrument and one timeframe before importing a large folder.
  • Verify the chart visually before using the data for practice.

Continue with a practical guide

Does Zinuto provide real-time market data or trading signals?No. Zinuto works with historical data, not a live quote feed or trading signals. You can import compatible files or explicitly run a local connector for supported mainland China equities and indexes, or Binance and OKX spot history. You review those files before importing them. Zinuto never connects a wallet or sends an order.Read guideCan Zinuto be used for futures review?Yes, if you import compatible futures history that you have the right to use. Zinuto replays the data locally and keeps the resulting practice record. It does not connect a futures broker or send an order.Read guideCan Zinuto be used for cryptocurrency review?Yes, with compatible crypto history that you have permission to use. Import it as local training data, replay the chart, and review the record afterward. Zinuto does not execute on an exchange or provide trading signals.Read guide

Start with one short replay

Pick a sample, hide the later bars, make a few decisions, and open the archive afterward. That single run shows how Zinuto records practice.
