# index
nifty_index_data = tv.get_hist(symbol='NIFTY',exchange='NSE',interval=Interval.in_1_hour,n_bars=1000)

# futures continuous contract
nifty_futures_data = tv.get_hist(symbol='NIFTY',exchange='NSE',interval=Interval.in_1_hour,n_bars=1000,fut_contract=1)

# crudeoil

  3. Describe your problem in detail while creating the issue. If you don't have time to detail/describe the problem you are facing, assume that I also won't be having time to respond to your problem.

  4. Post a sample code of the problem you are facing. If I copy paste the code directly from issue, I should be able to reproduce the problem you are facing.

  5. Before posting the sample code, test your sample code yourself once. Only sample code should be tested, no other addition should be there while you are testing.

  6. Have some print() function calls to display the values of some variables related to your problem.

  7. Post the results of print() functions also in the issue.

  8. Use the insert code feature of github to inset code and print outputs, so that the code is displyed neat. !
