If I subscribe to historical data, Will I get Last five minute candle data?

    Hi,
    You can get latest five-minute candle data. But, historical data is provided for backtesting purposes. It is not ideally meant for the use case wherein you keep fetching candle after 5 or 15 minutes. I would suggest generating candles at your end.

    A 5minute candle is generated using five 1minute candles. You need to listen to ticks coming from Kite ticker and generate candles like this,
    open -> first LTP of the minute.
    high -> highest LTP of the minute.
    low -> lowest LTP of the minute.
    close -> last LTP of the minute.
