# Data Directory

CSV files are not tracked in git (too large).

## Required files
```
EURUSD_5M.csv
GBPUSD_5M.csv
USDJPY_5M.csv
```

## How to obtain data

1. Download 1-minute data from [HistData.com](https://www.histdata.com/):
   - EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY
   - Years 2024, 2025, and 2026 (Jan-Mar)
   - 1-minute bar format (MetaTrader compatible)

2. Place `.zip` files in this directory

3. Run the resampling script:
   ```bash
   python3 ../scripts/resample_to_5m.py
   ```

This produces the `*_5M.csv` files needed for training.
