Last Candle Missing in Historical Hourly Data

infoankit10
infoankit10 in Python client
Hello Guys,

I am using the Python Kiteconnect package to fetch historical hourly candle data and I found that the last data candle (after 3:15 PM) is missing for all days. Which is breaking the continuity for my data analysis. For reference please have a look at below sample result of the last 3 days' data for AARTIIND stock.

Also, I am not sure about the role of the 9:15 AM daily candle i.e. what is it signify?

    found that the last data candle (after 3:15 PM) is missing for all days
    For hourly candle, 3:15 PM will be start candle(as market closes at 3:30 PM for equity market).
    The first candle will be at market start i.e 9:15 AM and then an hourly candle keeps forming for the next period i.e 10:15, 11:15, ..

    @rakeshr Thank you for your revert. But doesn't it break the data continuity and how I will get the data between 3:15 PM to 3:30 PM?

    I have tried a few other brokers APIs and their data looks like below and it makes more sense:

    You are missing the candle formation logic. The first hourly candle of 9:15 AM is formed for the period between 09:15 AM to 10:14:59 AM. So, 3:15 PM candle is formed for the last period between 3:15 PM to 3:30 PM.

    @rakeshr are you sure about this?

    Because if this is the case then Zerodha's 3:15 PM candle data should match with other vendor's 3:30 PM data.

    I have provided the sample data below from Zerodha and Spider broker and you can notice the difference between 2021-02-11,15:30:00 and 2021-02-11 15:15:00

    Do let me know if that makes any logic to you and any further inputs from your side?

    Thanks

    are you sure about this?
    Yes, that's how we form the candle.
    Because if this is the case then Zerodha's 3:15 PM candle data should match with other vendor's 3:30 PM data.
    No, values can differ between two different charting platforms. Go through this article to know more about this difference.

    @rakeshr if I accept your understanding for a moment and as you said for example 01:15 PM candle will represent the data between 01:15 PM to 02:15 PM.

    It means I should not receive this candle in historical data until 02:15 PM.

    But, here is another twist, I just fetch the historical data from Kite and it returned me the following results:

    close date high low open volume
    1237.95 2021-02-19 09:15:00+05:30 1239.90 1228.90 1234.30 24272
    1226.25 2021-02-19 10:15:00+05:30 1238.00 1224.45 1237.95 69989
    1220.00 2021-02-19 11:15:00+05:30 1226.25 1216.80 1226.25 51123
    1220.50 2021-02-19 12:15:00+05:30 1222.35 1219.00 1220.00 14419
    1197.10 2021-02-19 13:15:00+05:30 1220.65 1195.05 1220.50 34021


    So how it could return the 13:15:00 result before 14:15:00 PM?

    Any further thoughts?

    It means I should not receive this candle in historical data until 02:15 PM.
    No, you will start receiving the candle data post 01:15 PM i.e these candles are still forming/live, not yet completed. So, if you query the 01:15 PM hour candle multiple times before its completion i.e 02:15 PM. You will see, HLC(high, low, and close) value being changing i.e forming live.

    @rakeshr Considering 15 minute candles, if 9:15 candle has the values for 9:15-9:30 (or 9:29:59) then what is the value for 9:15 (that is the 9:00 to 9:15 candle)?

    and why the kite app doesn't follow this logic in its charts? Shouldn't the app also show 15:30 candles in all minute/hour time frames?
