I’m putting together a comprehensive backtest that focuses exclusively on stock market data from the NYSE and NASDAQ, spanning the last 10 years. To do this effectively I need a well-structured historical dataset that I can drop straight into my models without hours of manual cleanup. Here’s what I’m after: • Daily (or finer) OHLCV prices, fully adjusted for corporate actions, splits, and dividends. • Consistent symbol mapping so delistings, mergers, and ticker changes don’t break the series. • A single, tidy delivery format—CSV files are fine, but a lightweight SQL or Parquet database also works if you prefer. • A short README that explains field definitions, adjustment methodology, and any known data caveats. If you already have a reliable data pipeline in Python, R, or another language, feel free to leverage it; just make sure the final output is easy for me to import into pandas. Accuracy and completeness over the full decade are far more important than ultra-low latency. Once I confirm everything loads and reconciles against a spot check of raw exchange data, I’ll sign off on the deliverable.

Hello, I have over 7 years of experience in Data Processing, R Programming Language, Statistical Analysis, and Statistics. I have carefully read the requirements for the 10-Year NYSE/NASDAQ Backtest project. To fulfill the project requirements, I will start by sourcing the historical data from reliable sources, ensuring it is clean and adjusted for corporate actions, splits, and dividends. I will then structure the data into a consistent format with accurate symbol mapping to prevent any disruptions in the series due to delistings, mergers, or ticker changes. The final deliverable will be in a user-friendly format such as CSV files or a lightweight SQL/Parquet database, accompanied by a detailed README document explaining field definitions and adjustment methodologies. I am confident in my ability to provide a comprehensive and accurate dataset for your backtesting needs. Please connect with me for further discussion on how we can proceed with this project.

Do you need delisted stocks included or only active ones? Should adjustments be dividend + split, or split only? Is daily enough or do you want option to extend later? I went through your description carefully. Hi, this is Ambar Shome, I work independently but also run Shome & Associates for larger projects. I’ve done similar data prep work before. No problem. I’ll prepare a clean dataset you can load directly into pandas. No messy joins later. Data will be pulled from 2–3 sources and matched, so gaps or bad rows are reduced. I’ll keep one consistent symbol map so ticker changes don’t break your series. Delisted tickers can be included (important for backtests). Adjustments will be applied properly (splits + dividends), and I can also keep a raw version side by side. Sometimes useful. Files — CSV for easy use, and Parquet if you want faster load. Data split by year so it’s not heavy to open. Dates normalized to NY close. Small thing but avoids issues later. I’ll also run a small check (random symbols) against source data before delivery. README will be simple — fields, adjustments, any gaps. One small thing we can decide… how strict you want missing data handling. Should I forward-fill small gaps or leave them as-is? Yes/No

I can deliver a clean, analysis-ready 10-year NYSE/NASDAQ dataset with fully adjusted OHLCV (splits, dividends, and corporate actions handled correctly) along with robust symbol mapping to preserve continuity across ticker changes, mergers, and delistings. I’ll build this using a reliable Python pipeline (pandas + vetted data sources like CRSP-compatible feeds or high-quality APIs where applicable), ensuring consistent schema, timezone alignment, and no missing structural fields. The final output will be provided in your preferred format (CSV, Parquet, or lightweight SQL), optimized for immediate ingestion into pandas with zero cleanup required. I’ll also include a concise README detailing field definitions, adjustment methodology, data lineage, and any caveats, plus a validation summary comparing sampled records against raw exchange data for accuracy. The focus will be completeness, consistency, and reproducibility so you can plug it straight into your backtest models without friction.

Hello, I’ve read your brief and can deliver a clean, fully-adjusted 10-year NYSE/NASDAQ historical dataset ready for pandas. I build reproducible Python pipelines that correct for splits, dividends and corporate actions, normalize tickers across delistings/mergers, and export tidy CSV/Parquet or a lightweight SQLite/Parquet DB with clear schemas. I’ll validate against exchange spot checks and include a short README describing fields, adjustment methodology, symbol-mapping rules, and known caveats. Technically I’ll use a reproducible ETL: fetch raw exchange files, apply corporate-action tables, forward/back-adjust OHLCV, consolidate symbol history with canonical identifiers, and produce per-symbol and consolidated files plus basic QA reports. If you prefer, I can wrap a small DRF endpoint to serve slices for quick checks. Next step: I’ll prepare a sample subset (e.g., 6 months for 50 tickers) so you can validate loading and reconciliation, then run the full decade once approved. Do you have preferred canonical identifiers (CIK, ISIN, or exchange+permanent ID) for symbol mapping, or should I build the canonical mapping from exchanges and corporate-action records?

Consistent symbol mapping across ticker changes is the tricky part here - I've handled this exact challenge in my Trading Strategy Optimization project where I backtested across 25 trading days with clean data pipelines. I'd build a Python pipeline using pandas that fetches from Alpha Vantage or Yahoo Finance API, handles corporate actions automatically, and outputs everything as clean CSV or Parquet files ready for your models. The approach would be to pull daily OHLCV data, cross-reference symbol changes through SEC filings, then create a unified dataset with proper adjustment factors. I'd include data validation against known benchmarks and document any gaps or methodology quirks in the README. You can check out similar work at ffulb.com. Once I take a look at which data provider API keys you have access to, I can assess the best collection strategy and get the pipeline running.

Dear Sir, I am thrilled to bid your project. Your dataset requirements are exactly the kind of work that needs careful structure from the start, because for a serious backtest the value is not only in collecting OHLCV history, but in making the data clean, adjusted, and stable across ticker changes, delistings, and corporate actions. I have solid experience working with financial data pipelines, structured data delivery, Python-based processing, symbol normalization, and analytics-ready datasets that are easy to load into pandas without extra cleanup. For this project, I would focus on building a tidy and well-documented historical dataset for NYSE and NASDAQ over the last 10 years, with adjusted price series, consistent symbol mapping, and a delivery format that supports practical research use, whether CSV, Parquet, or a lightweight SQL database. I would also include a clear README covering field definitions, adjustment logic, and any important caveats so the dataset is usable and transparent from day one. One important question I’d like to ask is this: for symbol continuity, do you want the final data keyed primarily by current ticker symbols for convenience, or by a stable internal identifier so mergers, delistings, and ticker changes remain fully traceable in your backtests? Sincerely, Adison.
