Orders will be routed for processing from 0830 hrs (Eastern Time) onwards. In accordance to US trading rules , no cancellation or amendment is allowed between 0928 hrs to 0930 hrs (Eastern Time).

As there is no minimum or maximum bid size check, do exercise cautious during your order submission. If you have entered a higher buying price or a lower selling price than the opening/prevailing price, your order will be executed based on the prevailing market conditions.

Some counters may be displayed under Top Volume during pre-opening hours (8.30am – 8.58am), due to reporting requirements for married trades executed after trading hours.

Theoretical Opening Price (TOP) allows investors to have a half hour ‘viewing period’ before the market opens in the morning and afternoon session. For example, trades and the theoretical opening price for each counter can be seen from 8.30am until 9am before the market starts to trade. This scenario is also applicable for the afternoon trading session. This feature allows investors to better analysis the market sentiment and share performance due to the transparent pre-opening period.

Day - Day orders expire automatically if not matched or canceled on the trading day that it is placed.

Good-Til-Date (GTD) – GTD orders remain active until a user-specified date, unless it has been matched or canceled.

Limit Order (For HKEX) - A limit order will allow matching only at the specified price. The sell order input price cannot be made at a price below the best bid price, if available whereas the buy order input price cannot be made at a price above the best ask price, if available. Any outstanding limit order will be put in the price queue of the input price.

Counter party information tells you who the brokers that matched your SGX trades are.

Equilibrium price is the price at which orders would be executed if pre-opening/pre-closing matching were to occur at that point and acts as an indication of the eventual opening or closing price. SGX publishes this data on a real-time basis to provide more market transparency and helps market participants assess the market and adjust their orders accordingly. Masking of all better bid/ask prices and quantities acts as an additional safeguard against manipulation of the eventual equilibrium price.

In the US market, ticker symbols are used to uniquely identify stock names.

Others

BURSA

You can key in share prices for an order of up to +/- 30 cents (for share price below RM1.00) or +/- 30% (for share price more than RM1.00) from the previous day's closing price. The share price bid sizes are shown in the table below. Bursa Malaysia shall enforce Price Thresholds for all securities traded. The upper and lower price limits set for the whole trading day are as below:

Share price bid sizes, limit up and limit down

For bonds, debentures, loan securities, warrants and call warrants, the minimum bid structure has the same minimum trading spreads as for shares.

ETF bid sizes

Example 1:
If the Reference Price is RM0.06, the limit up price will be RM0.36 (RM0.06 + RM0.30) and limit down price will be RM0.005 (system minimum price).

Example 2:
If the Reference Price (i.e. the Last Traded Price on previous day or last trading day) is RM1.14. The upper limit price will be RM1.48 (i.e. 30% of RM1.14, round downward to the nearest bid size). The lower limit price will be RM0.80 (ie 30% of RM1.14, round upward to the nearest bid size).

No orders shall be entered above the upper limit or below the lower limit during the trading day.

HKEx

The share price bid sizes are shown in the table below.

The share price bid sizes for Exchange Traded Funds are shown in the table below.

The share price bid size for debt securities are as follows:

HK-Shanghai/Shenzhen Stock Connect

Minimum bid size is CNY 0.01. Shares traded on the SSE/SZSE are subject to a price limit based on their previous closing price, including a ±10% price limit for stocks under normal circumstances and a ±5% price limit for stocks that are under special treatment (i.e. ST and *ST stocks) under risk alert.

HKEx has put in place a dynamic price checking for buy orders. Buy orders with input prices lower than the current best bid (or last traded price in the absence of current best bid, or previous closing price in the absence of both current best bid and last traded price) beyond a prescribed percentage will be rejected by the Exchange. HKEx has set the dynamic price checking at 3% during the initial phase and may be adjusted from time to time subject to market conditions.

During Opening Call Auction, the current bid (or previous closing price in the absence of the current bid) will be used for checking. During Closing Call Auction, the current bid (or last traded price in the absence of the current bid) will be used for checking. Dynamic price checking will be applied throughout the trading day, from the 5-minute input period before the start of Opening Call Auction until market close.

US Markets

If a current bid or ask is not available, then the most recent quote is used to calculate the limit threshold.

Example:
1. If the current bid price is at $15.00, then a sell order at $13.45 (Aggressive price) will be rejected because it is more than 10% limit threshold.

2. If the current ask price is at $30.00, then a buy order at $31.60 (Aggressive price) will be rejected because it is more than 5% limit threshold.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
As there is no minimum or maximum bid size check, do exercise cautious during your order submission. If you have entered a higher buying price or a lower selling price than the opening / prevailing price, your order will be executed based on the prevailing market conditions. You must always check your UTRADE order status for the latest order status.
