HI @Anudeep we have noted this as one of the product enhancement feature we will update you once it is made available.

I normally test my setup using equity.. for example IDEA with 1 quantity to check everything works fine.. testing with derivatives can be expensive in terms of money and Brokerage.

@Anudeep The way I am doing it by inserting it into local database, with timestamp and all possible parameters.
Then I am analyzing it.
May it work for you as well. -
@admin Thank you for the response.
Even though historical data would be sufficient to test the success of the trading strategy, it can't be used to test the code logic.
For example, if I wanted to buy/sell an option based on current market price, would it be possible to do so with historical data as it is not like a data flow that is still going on ?
Also, is there any plan to introduce a sandbox environment/ paper trading option to test strategies in the coming days?
Thanks.

HI @Anudeep You can get the historical data and test it first then forward test it in live market with min qty.
