    This is what I wrote to Zerodha....Will zerodha help me code my strategies using kite api
    Query

    I have no idea of coding....but create formulas (not conventional) and use them for trading (in Excel/Google Spreadsheets)...rely mostly on Google prices or NSE site...both of them are delayed data....suppose I ask for a simple formula to be created for me in API for me to able to punch orders directly whenever my formula gives buy/sell order.....its not like the usual stuffs...crossovers....etc etc Don't even know if its possible. What kind of costs are involved one time/recurring...for API...development of code....real time F&O data...etc etc Might sound crude.....like in websites there an admin section wherein one can keep adding things.....is it possible with APIs....The code will be something like a calculation (using some factors) that gives buy above and sell below kind of a thing....all I need is its automatically calculates after every interval (of my choice) and punches order when price reaches that level automatically.....the factors are SQRT of price value/adding subtracting some pre defined values/percentages....etc

    And the reply
    Hi Ashish,

    Thank you for writing to Rainmatter. The Kite connect API is for tech-savvy traders to build their own trade execution platform. With the API, you can stream live data, place/modify orders, fetch your order book, margin limits, etc. The API is charged Rs 2000 per API key per month. The historical API is an add-on to the Kite connect API and will be charged an additional Rs 2000 per API key per month. To access the API, you simply have to sign up here. For more details on the API, read the API documentation. All your technical queries can be posted on the developer forum.

    You can also check this link.

    Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, write back if something needs more clarification.

    Regards,
    Hafsa

    Can you guide me so that I can manage this....regards

    Hi Sunil
    I want to do a simple difference between last 5 minutes candle close value and current value for bank nifty future.

    I think I can use api to get previous 5 minutes candles close value and same for current price but how?

    Can anyone help me to get these 2 values?

    Hi Ashuthinks,

    yes sure.
    To get data you need api for sure. As Zerodha provide api for historical and Ticker. if you have ticker data then you need to work on converting your ticks to atleast 1 min candle. Please have look at lib https://github.com/lppkarl/Trady
    This library help you to transform you tick data to candle.

    var transformedCandles = candles.Transform();

    var diff= transformedCandles.Last().Close -LTP;

  12. ashuthinks4 October 2020 at 23:46

    thanks for reply hmm but instead of using Trady can i simply call 2 zerodha api calls?
    1st call will give me last 5 minutes candle close data and 2nd api call will give me LTP so that i can do difference easily? pls guide

    but my issue is i will execute my azure function after every 5 minutes and want to read recent 5minute candle OHLC and base don that want to take trade? how is this possible if i tried to convert ticks into candle data.? pls guide

  14. sunilbrokerhedge5 October 2020 at 22:21

    yes you can do that but it is not good approach, if you have ticker service on then you can always having latest data for every tick.
    you can persist and keep converting you data to candle. you can apply your logic or you can use above mention library.

    but yet I am not clear your trading strategy. if you found +ve difference between last candle and LTP then you are planning to take trad Buy/Sell then this wont work.

    you must back test your strategy. you must have key levels with you before placing trad.

    This trading strategy will not be good to go.

    ok.
    you can check with historical api to get last candle and ticker service for latest data. once you have both you can check Diff.
