Why is there no price movement in the stock’s option contracts when the price of the stock and its futures contract is moving?

1. Why is there no price movement for a particular options contract, even though the underlying stock and future contract are active?

If there’s no price movement for an options contract despite the movement in the underlying stock and future contract, it indicates that the option contract is not actively traded. To check the trading activity of any instrument, you can refer to the Last Traded Time (LTT), which displays the time of the last trade.

2. How can I check the Last Traded Time (LTT) of an instrument?

Bid and offer prices may fluctuate even when there is no trading activity due to two main reasons:

Bid and Offer: The bid and offer prices might be changing, but the Last Traded Price (LTP) may remain unchanged. The market depth window typically displays the top 5 bid and ask prices at all times, even if there’s no recent trading activity.
