Day’s range

The Day’s Range shows the lowest and highest prices of an instrument for the day. Within this range, a line compares the stock’s opening price to the Last Traded Price (LTP).

If the LTP is higher than the opening price, the line is displayed in green. If the LTP is lower, the line is displayed in red. The LTP is marked with ▲, and the opening price is marked with 🌑.

This gives a quick snapshot of how the instrument has performed relative to its opening price.
