Historical Data lag of approx 45seconds-60 seconds in live market

neel2323
Hello,

I am using Kite Historical API to generate 15minute candles in the live market for my algo. I run my script within 0.5/1 second post crossover of the 15minute mark. However, I am getting the previous completed candle only after a delay of 1minute or so.

Is this lag supposed to be there? Any other solutions for generating candle data besides writing my own code and storing values?

Neel.

    Yes. some lag is expected because of DB writes for queued ticks. We don't recommend using Historical data for live computation/operations. You can use WebSocket streaming, to form the required candle/data structure at your end, go through this thread.
