Charts & Market data

Live quotes

The Market Data page polls quotes every few seconds while the tab is visible. When you switch tabs, polling pauses (saves your Kite quota and our bandwidth) and resumes on focus.

Quotes available: LTP, day open/high/low/close, day-% change, volume.

Historical data

For backtests and chart panels, AlgoTrader caches historical OHLCV bars locally so we don't re-fetch from Kite on every request.

Coverage:

Interval	History available
1d (daily)	10+ years
60minute	Last 1 year
30minute	Last 8 months
15minute / 5minute / 3minute / minute	Last 60 days (Kite limit)

The first fetch for a given symbol + interval populates the cache. Subsequent requests for any overlapping date range hit the cache; only the missing edges are re-fetched.

Indicators on the chart

The backtest result chart accepts any indicator from the registry — MA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, ADX, ATR, Stochastic, VWAP, etc. Toggle them on/off from the legend.

Oscillators (RSI, MACD, ADX, Stochastic, ATR) render on a separate y-axis below price so they don't squash the candle range.

Scanner

A simple way to run "find me all symbols where X" across a watchlist. See Strategies → Scanner.

Why are some bars missing?

Two reasons:

1. NSE holidays — published holidays are excluded from the trading-day calendar. If you see a gap at one of those dates that's expected.
2. Unrecognised holidays — our calendar is hardcoded for known holidays. If a date you'd expect to see is missing, please report a bug with the symbol + date.
