Is market price or last price used in charts ?

Hello,
When closing my positions I have the option of using last price or market price. I simply want to use whatever is shown in the candle charts...
Let's say a candle chart shows me a recent high at 1000, does that mean the last price was 1000 at that time, or the market price was 1000 at that time ?

Maybe the charts can be displayed as "last price charts" or "market price charts" ?

thank you :)
 
The charts I use show "last trade." For thinly traded stocks/options this may be quite a way from the b/a that you may see when watching in real time.

Most charts use "last price".
Forex often uses "bid price".
"Market price" would be bid/ask lines or mid between bid/ask.
Tradingview uses "last price", if that's what you choose in the settings.

Hmm I see.
The option though is last price LINE so it just gives a horizontal line at the current price.
