The following information will be disseminated to the market at regular intervals during the order entry period pre-open session -

  • Indicative market opening price, populated in the 'LTP' field
  • Matchable quantity at the indicative market opening price, populated in the 'LTQ' field

If the indicative open price/matchable quantity at the indicative open price is not available then the 'LTP'/'LTQ' field is right blank.

  • Total buy /sell depth of the book will be populated in the 'Buy /Sell depth' fields
  • Percentage change in the indicative price
  • High/ Low prices will be disseminated based on the indicative opening prices
  • The 'open' field in the BOLT system will be populated only when the actual opening price has been determined in the order matching and confirmation period.
  • The 'Close' field will display issue price in case of IPO

The market depth would display:

  • Indicative opening price with next best 4 bids and offers. If the indicative opening price is not determined, then the best bids and offers will be displayed
  • Cumulative quantities at each of these price points
