# How to read files.
For example, if you want to read `filename.h5`
```Python
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_hdf("filename.h5", key="data")
```
NOTE: **key is always "data" for all hdf5 files **.
# Here is a short description about the data
| Filename | Description |
| -------------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------|
| "daily_pv.h5" | EURUSD 15-minute OHLCV intraday data. |
# For different data, We have some basic knowledge for them
## EURUSD 15min intraday data
$open: open price of EURUSD at the start of the 15min bar.
$close: close price of EURUSD at the end of the 15min bar.
$high: highest price of EURUSD during the 15min bar.
$low: lowest price of EURUSD during the 15min bar.
$volume: traded volume during the 15min bar.
**IMPORTANT: There is NO $factor column. Use only $open, $close, $high, $low, $volume.**
