About Last Price Marking

Last Price is a marking mode that uses the Last Price traded every 5 second for marking, and is often, but not always used with some limitations on price movements per trading session (usually 1 hour) relative to the mark price at the beginning of the session, so as not to discourage manipulation.

Any price limits are defined as Limit Up (bids cannot be placed above this level) and Limit Down (asks cannot be placed below this level).

Price limits will update every trading session and the values ​​can be found in the contract specifications and on the trading UI.

For API consumers, this field is available on the instrument feed as lastPrice.
