Why does the LTP under holdings not match with the Marketwatch?

Estimated reading: 1 minute 81 views

The Last Traded Price (LTP) under holdings may differ from the Marketwatch due to the dynamic nature of stock trading on different exchanges. In India, stocks listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) can be traded interchangeably in a demat account.

On CubePlus, the LTP in your stock holdings reflects the price from the exchange where the previous closing price was higher for that particular stock. However, when placing an order, you have the option to choose the exchange of your preference, allowing you to potentially sell your stocks on the exchange offering a higher price.

This flexibility means that the LTP in your holdings may not align with the LTP on the Marketwatch, especially if you added the stock to the watchlist from NSE, but the LTP in holdings is based on the quote from BSE (or vice versa) due to price variations between the exchanges.
