Why does a broker API ask for Last Price from the User ? https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/gtt/ has a parameter : "last_price": 798.0 For the info. that is already available within Zerodha, why it is dependent on external source? I have to make call to zerodha and populate it. Very strange. Not sure why Zerodha designed this API, this way. I can give a mis-information as well. Sincerely appreciate if some one can explain the logic and thinking behind it that I am not able to understand.
In some cases, it helps backend to decide if the GTT is a target or stoploss and in some other cases when there is a high volatility, the price that is displayed on the frontend and the price when request reaches the backend might be different and the behavior of GTT differs in those scenarios. Hence GTT expects the last price in the request.
