Price Data: Daily OHLCV
Gilito stores and analyzes daily price data for every asset in the standard OHLCV format. This is the foundation upon which all strategy backtesting and signal generation is built.
What is OHLCV?
- Open — The price at the start of the trading day
- High — The highest price reached during the trading day
- Low — The lowest price reached during the trading day
- Close — The price at the end of the trading day (most commonly used for analysis)
- Volume — The total number of shares or units traded during the day
Gilito uses at least 24 months of historical daily price data for each asset to backtest strategies. This ensures that strategies are evaluated across different market conditions including bull runs, corrections, and periods of sideways movement.
How Gilito Updates Prices Daily
Price data is updated automatically every trading day through a dedicated market data pipeline. Here is how the process works:
- After each market closes, Gilito's data pipeline fetches the latest daily OHLCV data for every tracked asset
- New price data is validated and stored, ensuring no duplicates or gaps
- Technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and more) are recalculated using the updated price history
- Backtesting runs automatically against the freshly updated data, evaluating millions of strategy combinations
- New signals and rankings are generated based on the latest results
Because updates happen on a daily schedule, weekends and market holidays will not produce new data. The most recent data point will always correspond to the last completed trading session.
