Hi @John_Anson ,

After fetching the data, you can slice the data according to the dates required as below.

data['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(data['timestamp'])
start_date = '2025-10-05'
end_date   = '2025-10-10'
filtered_data = data[(data['timestamp'].dt.date >= pd.to_datetime(start_date).date()) &
                (data['timestamp'].dt.date <= pd.to_datetime(end_date).date())]

print(filtered_data)

Hi @Tradehull_Imran When I try to extract data from below code
data = tsl.get_historical_data(tradingsymbol=‘NIFTY’, exchange=‘INDEX’, timeframe=“60”)

I get only 15 candles which is insufficient to calculate indicator. I need more data like at least 20 candles to calculate this. How can extract more historical data

Hi @John_Anson ,

  • Open your command prompt
  • Run the following command to find where the Dhan_Tradehull.py file is located:
pip show Dhan-Tradehull
  • Look for the line starting with Location: in the output.
  • Example:
Location: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages
  • Inside that folder, navigate to:
Dhan_Tradehull.py
  • Scroll or search (Ctrl + F) for:
def get_start_date():
  • Inside the function, locate this line:
start_date = df.iloc[-2]['timestamp']
  • Replace it with:
start_date = df.iloc[-30]['timestamp']
  • Save the file after making the change.
  • Restart your Python script or application that imports Dhan_Tradehull.py.

That works. Thanks
