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.

Please note that there is a 30% price limit if you are placing a buy (sell) order that is higher (lower) than the current ask (bid) price. The 30% threshold is based on the current ask for buys and bid for sells orders. If a current bid or ask is not available then the most recent quote is used to calculate the 30% limit.
Example:
If the current bid price is at $63.35, then a sell order at $33.00 will be rejected because it is more than 30% threshold.
