I read that Continuous NFO FUT daily data from 2010 is available with the latest Pi update.
1.How it is different from regular daily charts?
2. Does it mean that we can get the daily data of all FNO FUT dating back to 2010?
3.How to get continuous daily chart for BANKNIFTY Futures?

  1. Future contract come with an expiry date attached to it so it mean contract cease to exist upon that expiry date. So, for ex: if we consider bank nifty future contract, the maximum period it is available for trading is 3 months so we can get around 65 to 70 daily candles of data but if any trader want to get any view on the long term trend it is impossible with that. Thus we connect several future contracts together to create a long term chart called as continuous future chart.
  2. Yes, as of now only daily data is available but will provide hourly data in coming weeks.
  3. Add Banknifty fut contract on to market watch and right click on it and select continuous chart option as shown below to get continuous chart.

1)When will future continuous data for 15 min be available atleast for nifty and banknifty… Intraday traders could never Backtest, any futures stratergy unless this data is made available manually or through streak automation ?why is trading view charts are not having this feature? 2)Options historic data is provided by nse but that too not available in kite or streak? Is it that zerodha doesnot want intraday retailer to trade after proper back testing of systems in technical analysis? Why not charge additional for it?
