Getting wrong ohlc data

ImpulsivePuffin

I'm getting the ohlc data using websocket. same ohlc values are repeatedly coming as tick data and these values are completely different from the current market price for the stock.

eg of BHARTIARTL:

2020-08-13T12:35:24+00:00
{'open': 534.0, 'high': 548.3, 'low': 524.25, 'close': 547.7}
-2020-08-13T12:35:24+00:00
{'open': 534.0, 'high': 548.3, 'low': 524.25, 'close': 547.7}
2020-08-13T12:35:26+00:00
{'open': 534.0, 'high': 548.3, 'low': 524.25, 'close': 547.7}

snippet that was used to generate above output

print(item["last_trade_time"])
print(item["ohlc"])

This is BHARTIARTL, NSE instruments OHLC. What is the issue here? It seems fine.

@sujith yes, this does not match market tick data for the ltt mentioned. eg: 524 is the day's low, not for that tick. and the same data is repeatedly coming as tick data

The Websocket data will give you day's OHLC. You can know more here.

@sujith ,Thanks for clarifying . I was under the impression that the ohlc received is for the current tick and creating candles from that . I will create the candles from last traded price and last traded quantity (for volume data of the interval)
