End-of-day data is published after markets close and includes key price points such as the day’s open, high, low, close, and total trading volume. It provides a full summary of how an asset behaved during the session. This type of data is widely used by traders, analysts, and financial platforms because it is stable, verified, and easy to compare across days.
EOD data is often available for stocks, ETFs, indexes, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and currency pairs. Since it doesn’t change after being published, analysts use it to track trends, build charts, test strategies, and analyze long-term performance. Many technical indicators — such as moving averages or RSI — also rely on EOD values because they give a consistent measurement of daily activity.
End-of-day data is especially useful for long-term investors and researchers who do not need real-time updates. It provides a reliable view of price behavior without the noise and rapid movements of intraday trading. Historical EOD data is also important for backtesting strategies, evaluating performance, and building financial models.
EOD data gives a clear and complete snapshot of daily market activity. Investors use it to study trends, compare assets, and make decisions based on consistent, high-quality information.
EOD data typically includes the opening price, highest price, lowest price, closing price, volume, and sometimes additional fields like adjusted close. These values help users understand the full trading range and activity for the day.
Long-term investors, analysts, researchers, and portfolio managers use EOD data to monitor trends, analyze performance, and run technical indicators. It is also widely used in financial education, reporting, backtesting, and building historical datasets for models.
Real-time data updates instantly during market hours, while intraday data tracks price changes throughout the day. EOD data, by contrast, provides a complete summary at the end of the session. It is less volatile, easier to store, and better suited for long-term analysis.
A trader downloads 10 years of end-of-day data for a stock to test a trend-following strategy. The EOD prices help them see how the stock moved each day and whether the strategy would have worked over time.
FinFeedAPI’s Stock API provides high-quality end-of-day data, including OHLC values and volume, making it easy to analyze trends, build charts, and power research tools.
