Hi,
Kite ticker Websocket will only give you live data.
If you wish to do back test on historical data(OHLCV), you can subscribe for historical data API.
Historical data will give you candle data for 1min, 5min, 1hour, 1day etc.
Thanks for your reply. Is there any documentation on how can I backtest using historical api?
If I don't want to backtest I don't need historic api right? (I mean web sockets can be used to calculate all measures like volatility, etc for that trading day)

Historical data is an add on subscription.
