Easy Tech TutsHow to Export TradingView Data, Download Chart Data Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Downloading historical price data from TradingView is useful for backtesting, Excel analysis, or deeper research than the charting tools alone allow. This guide covers how to export OHLC and volume data, which timeframes support export, and the limitations you should know about.
01Open the Export Data option
From an active chart, locate TradingView's Export Data option in the chart menu to begin the download process.
02Choose the data range and timeframe
Select the timeframe and historical range you need, since export availability can vary by plan and by symbol.
03Export OHLC and volume data
Download the open, high, low, close, and volume figures as a file you can open in Excel or another analysis tool.
04Understand plan-based limitations
Free and lower-tier plans typically limit how far back or how granular the exported data can be, so check what's included before relying on it for deep backtesting.
05Work around common export issues
If an export fails or looks incomplete, try a shorter date range or a less granular timeframe, since very large exports can hit plan limits.
