How many candles form in Indian markets in market hours like 1 hour, 15 minutes, 5 minutes, and 1 minute time frame?

market start at 9:15 so how 60 mins candle is forms and how many number of candles form in each time frame

7 candles for 60 mins chart. You can open a chart, set time frame and then you can find how many candles form for each time frame.

what time frame most used to analysis 9:15 to 10 is 45 mins candle or 9:15 to 10;15 60 mins candle ? but market closes at 3:30 so where is 15 mins going

Last candle starts at 3.15pm and closes at 3.30pm. So it has just 15 min data for that hourly candle because only 15 min data came in.

What timeframe to use is a subjective question. There is no one size that fits all kind of an answer for that. I prefer to use daily candles because it won’t have missing data (other reasons do exist). Higher frequency candles could have missing data in real time as the data feed may not capture all the ns level transactions happening at the exchange. This can cause your trading logic to generate false signals.
