The "last price" is not always the same as the "official closing price". If there was an after hours trade for example, the "last price" may reflect that after-hours trade price and not the "official closing price". When you use MOC, you will get the official closing price. You can find out the...

What a waste of time, money and resources of countless traders, firms and regulators over these long decades due to a rule that turned out to be totally useless when its perceived benefits were finally measured objectively?
