The LTP (Last Traded Price) in your holdings may not match the Marketwatch because Kite displays the LTP from different exchanges based on which has the higher previous closing price.
How stock exchanges work in India
India has two major stock exchanges: the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Your stocks in a demat account are not associated with any specific exchange. You can buy or sell them on any exchange. When you sell stocks, you have the flexibility to choose the exchange where the price is higher, regardless of the exchange from which you originally purchased the stocks.
How Kite displays LTP in holdings
Kite displays the LTP from the exchange where the previous closing price is higher for the stock. However, you can switch between exchanges while placing an order using the option on the order window.
Why the LTP differs
A buyer on one exchange may offer a higher price for a stock compared to a buyer on the other exchange. This means you can sell your stocks on the exchange, offering a higher price.
The LTP mismatch occurs when you add a stock to the Marketwatch from NSE, but Kite displays the LTP in your holdings based on the quote from BSE (if the price was higher on BSE), or vice versa.
