What is Futures chain?
A futures chain is a listing of all the available futures contracts for a particular commodity or asset class, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an underlying asset at a future date at a predetermined price. Futures chains are important tools for traders and investors because they provide an overview of the available contracts for a particular asset, allowing them to make informed decisions about buying, selling, or holding futures positions. They can be used to identify trends in market sentiment, track changes in supply and demand, and evaluate the risks and potential rewards of entering into futures contracts.
The futures chain displays the following information:
Symbol - The unique symbol or ticker code that represents a specific futures contract.
Expiry - The date on which the futures contract expires.
LTP - The price at which the futures contract most recently traded.
Change - The change in price from the previous day's closing price.
What is Market Depth?
Market depth refers to the ability of a market to absorb large orders without significantly affecting the price of the security being traded. It is a measure of the liquidity of a market and reflects the number of buy and sell orders that exist at different price levels.
The market depth is displayed in the form of a "depth chart," which shows the bid and ask prices for a security at different levels, along with the number of shares or contracts available at each price level. The depth chart allows traders to see the supply and demand dynamics of the market and helps them make more informed trading decisions.

Bid and Offer Prices: Market depth shows the best bid and ask prices available for a security, along with the number of shares or contracts available at each price level.
