How to track global indices on Kite?
Global indices cannot be tracked directly on Kite. However, CFDs (Contract for Difference) that follow their movements are available on Kite. CFDs are financial instruments that let you trade or track the price movement of assets without owning them. Since CFDs are not the actual indices, their trading hours may differ from those of the underlying markets. Additionally, these CFDs are non-tradable on Zerodha and are available only for tracking purposes.
