which is buy or sell price

ayyaz

I am using tickers to fetch current price of stock at which i can sell or buy, there are many values in output i need which is that value which i can consider to buy or sell a stock ?
which among following is price at which i can buy or sell stocks
double lastTradedPrice = ticks.get(i).getLastTradedPrice();
double close=ticks.get(i).getClosePrice();
what is difference between
getTickTimestamp and getLastTradedTime
i have refered example mentioned in github but i dont see either
function tickerUsage or main gets into infinite loop as we need to keep fetching realtime value , do i need to put an infinite loop explicitly as program might exit after a while if not put.
Example:

 try {
            tickerUsage(kiteConnect,tokens);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(TickerPrice.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
     while (true)
        {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(100);
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(TickerPrice.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }
        }         

how many tokens i can pass to so that i can fetch in single tick by tick , is it possible to fetch tick by tick info for 200 to 500 stocks , if so please point me to some example.

Hi,
A close price in Kite Ticker corresponds to the previous day's close price.
The last traded price is the price at which last trade has happened which denotes that the latest trade took place at this price.

if i want to sell or buy a stock which is latest one , last trade i beleive same is shown in zerodha dashboard ,

ayyaz

if i want sell or buy which price should i consider , can it be last traded price ?

sujith

Yes, you can use last traded price. It is the same value displayed on all our platforms.

ayyaz

so based on discussion , i am again confirming last traded value can be used for selling or buy stocks

ayyaz

please confirm

sujith

A last traded price is the price at which last trade has happened.
