while placing the orders what will be the trading symbol,quantity or other values that need to pass . because for equity it is clear . but for future trading_symbol and quantity are different parameter like UNIONBANK for equity and for FNO UNIONBANK OCT FUT so where did i get these tradingsymbol and their lot size.

order_id = kite.place_order(tradingsymbol=,
exchange ="",
quantity = ,
price=,
squareoff=,
stoploss=,
variety="bo",
trigger_price= ,
transaction_type =,
order_type ="SL",
product ="MIS",
validity="DAY")
Please Suggest me .

    Yes, you need to pass the quantity every time. Kite Connect doesn't provide default quantity.

    You can check out documenation for information about live market data.
