What This Tool Does

LTP, or Last Traded Price, is the price at which a contract most recently changed hands on the exchange. This calculator shows live LTP alongside Open Interest (OI) and price change, so you can see momentum building or fading without switching between screens.

How It Works

Unlike a formula-based calculator, LTP isn’t derived — it’s reported directly by the exchange the moment a trade executes. What this tool does is pull that live feed and layer useful context on top of it:

  • Price change = Current LTP − Previous day’s close
  • Percentage change = (Price change ÷ Previous close) × 100

Worked example: A contract closed the previous session at ₹142. The current LTP shows ₹156.

  • Price change: 156 − 142 = ₹14
  • Percentage change: (14 ÷ 142) × 100 = 9.86%

That tells you, at a glance, how far the contract has moved from its last settled price — without doing the math yourself every time it updates.

Edge Cases and Special Rules

  • Illiquid strikes: Deep out-of-the-money or far-dated contracts may show a stale or blank LTP if no trade has occurred recently — the number reflects the last executed trade, not a live quote.
  • Circuit limits: When a contract hits its upper or lower price band, LTP can freeze at that limit even as bid/ask quotes keep shifting.
  • Expiry-day behavior: LTP on expiry day, especially near the close, can move sharply due to time decay and settlement-related activity.
  • Refresh timing: Auto-refresh intervals vary by data source, so LTP shown here may lag a live exchange terminal by a second or two.

LTP Across Platforms

LTP itself doesn’t change based on where you view it — it’s the same exchange-reported number — but refresh speed and presentation vary. A broker’s own terminal (like Kite) typically updates tick-by-tick, while charting platforms such as TradingView or GoCharting may show LTP alongside candles and indicators rather than a raw table. Traders often cross-check LTP across two sources when a fast-moving contract needs confirmation.

Who Uses This

  • Options and futures traders tracking Nifty, Bank Nifty, Fin Nifty, or Midcap Nifty contracts
  • Scalpers who need tick-level price movement to time entries and exits
  • Positional traders watching how LTP and OI shift together across a session
  • Anyone confirming a fill or checking current pricing before placing an order

LTP vs. Close Price

These are often confused. Close price is a single, fixed number set at the end of a trading session. LTP is live and constantly updating throughout the day — it only becomes the “close” once the market shuts for the session. Comparing current LTP to the previous close is exactly how percentage change is calculated above.

FAQ

What does LTP mean in trading? Last Traded Price — the most recent price at which a contract actually executed on the exchange.

Is LTP the same as the market price? Roughly, yes — LTP reflects the last real trade, while bid/ask show where the next trade might happen.

Why does LTP sometimes not match the bid or ask? Because LTP is a completed trade, while bid/ask are live offers that can shift before the next trade executes.

Does LTP update every second? It updates whenever a new trade occurs — for liquid contracts that can be almost continuous; for illiquid ones, less often.

Can I track LTP for both options and futures? Yes, LTP applies to any exchange-traded contract, including both options and futures.
