Can you please guide me on how fast historical data is fetched from the Kite server?
For example, suppose I want to fetch 5 days (Include today) of live historical data for instrument RELIANCE. So, I make one Rest API poll to fetch one instrument. What is the speed rate of getting this poll result?
If I get this data below 1 second, then is there no need to go with Websocket stream data for fetching only one token's OHLC &V results ?

We won't recommend you to poll historical data API in the live market. There will be some latency as explained in this thread. We recommend you use websocket streaming to get the latest tick data.

If I go with websocket, I don't get accurate indicator values; if I go with the Rest API, there will be a delay issue.
Could you suggest which is the right method?
