Limit Order (All Markets)
A limit order specifies the price and quantity that a buyer or seller is willing to trade at, i.e. at that price or better (lower for buy, higher for sell). Any portion of the order that can immediately be matched is traded as soon as the order is entered. The rest of the unfilled order sits in the order book.
At-auction Order (HKEx)
An at-auction order is an order with no specified price and is entered into the trading system for execution at the final Indicative Equilibrium Price (IEP). It enjoys a higher order matching priority than an at-auction limit order and will be matched in time priority at the final IEP.
Any outstanding at-auction orders after the end of the Pre-opening Session will be cancelled before the commencement of the Continuous Trading Session.
At-auction Limit Order (HKEx)
An at-auction limit order is an order with a specified price. An at-auction limit order with a specified price at or more competitive than the final Indicative Equilibrium Price (IEP) may be matched at the final IEP during the pre-order matching period from 9.15am to 9.20am. If an IEP cannot be determined during the Closing Auction Session, the Reference Price will serve as the price for matching. The matching of applicable at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders will occur at the Reference Price instead and the matching mechanism will be same as matching at the IEP.
All unfilled at-auction limit orders from the Pre-Opening Session will be converted into limit orders and carried forward to the Morning Session provided that the specified price of that at-auction limit order does not deviate 9 times or more from the nominal (last done price).
Enhanced Limit Order (HKEx)
An enhanced limit order will allow matching of up to 10 price queues (i.e. the best price queue and up to the 10th queue at 9 spreads away) at one time provided that the traded price is not worse than the input price. The sell order input price cannot be made a price of 9 spreads below the current bid price whereas the buy order input price cannot be made at a price of 9 spreads above the current ask price.
Any outstanding enhanced limit orders will be treated as a limit order and put in the price queue of the input price.
Special Limit Order (HKEx)
A special limit order will allow matching of up to 10 price queues (i.e. the best price queue and up to the 10th queue at 9 spreads away) at one time provided that the traded price is not worse than the input price. There is no restriction on the input price as long as the order input price is at or below the best bid price for a sell order or at or above the best ask price for a buy order.
Any outstanding special limit orders will be cancelled.
Visit HKEx website for more information on Order Types and Trading Mechanism.
Stop Limit Order (US, TSX, LSE)
A stop limit order has two price components specified - the activation price and the limit price. When the bid/ask price of the stock reaches the activation price, the order converts to a limit order and is executed at the limit price (or better, if available.)
There is no guarantee that a Stop Limit Order, once triggered, will result in an order execution.
^DAY Order (All Markets)
The order is only valid for the day that is sent to the Exchange. If the order is not executed, it will expire at the end of trading day. The Order Book will reflect the status “E” for expired orders. You will need to re-enter the orders if you want to place the orders for the next trading day.
**Good-till-Date (GTD) for US markets
Only applicable for Cash account.
You can set your GTD order up to 30 calendar days. Please do not select Saturdays, Sundays and US holidays as the expiry date.
Always check your order book to make sure that the order status is updated as Queue or Filled during trading hours.
You can only withdraw the quantity on GTD order that is not filled.
The order may incur more transaction cost if the order is partially filled each day and commissions are charged on each day that an execution occurs.
Do be cautions and mindful that when the order is left on the order book for a period of time during which market conditions could change and the order may become unfavorable. In the event of corporate action, such US GTD order will not be auto void or expired in the system. The trading price will usually be adjusted accordingly to reflect the effect of the share consolidation / split / dividend / bonus / rights issues or others. However, the stock prices may also be affected by a myriad of factors such as the usual market forces of demand and supply, economic and political events (both locally and overseas). This information serves as an illustration only, you should not rely on the information above for your trading decision.

A corporate action is an event initiated by a public company that affects the securities (equity or debt) issued by the company. Some corporate actions such as a dividend (for equity securities) or coupon payment (for debt securities) may have a direct financial impact on the shareholders or bondholders; another example is a call (early redemption) of a debt security. Other corporate actions such as stock split may have an indirect impact, as the increased liquidity of shares may cause the price of the stock to decrease. Some corporate actions such as name change have no direct financial impact on the shareholders. Corporate actions are typically agreed upon by a company's board of directors and authorized by the shareholders. Some examples are stock splits, dividends, mergers and acquisitions, rights issues and spin offs.
Corporate actions taken by companies listed on SGX.
Kindly refer to CDP website for more information on the following types of corporate actions:
1. Dividends
2. Rights
3. Takeovers
4. Warrants
5. Coupon / Redemption
Examples of Types of Corporate Actions
S/No | Types of Corporate Action | Description |
1 | Bonus Issue | New shares in a Company XYZ that are issued free to existing shareholders. New shares are typically issued to shareholders in proportion to their holdings as at a date specified by the Company XYZ. For example, the Company XYZ declared 1 bonus share for every 10 shares held. If you are holding 1000 shares, your bonus entitlement will be 100 shares. |
2 | Share Split | A share split is similar to a bonus issue in that shareholders are issued with new shares at no cost. But its effect on the balance sheet is different from a bonus issue. Usually, a share split reduces the par value of each share, but increases the number of shares by the same proportion. For example, the Company XYZ declares Sub-division of every 1 existing ordinary share into 10 ordinary shares”. If you originally held 1000 shares, your new holdings will be increased to 10000 shares. |
3 | Share Consolidation | Share consolidation is the opposite of a share split.
The existing shareholder's shares are replaced with a smaller number of shares with a higher par value. For example, the Company XYZ declared “Share consolidation of every 100 ordinary shares into 1 consolidated share” If you originally held 1000 shares, your new holdings will be reduced to 10 shares. |
The trading price will usually be adjusted accordingly to reflect the effect of the share consolidation / split / dividend / bonus / rights issues or others. However, the stock prices may also be affected by a myriad of factors such as the usual market forces of demand and supply, economic and political events (both locally and overseas).
The above information serves as an illustration only. One should not rely on the information above for your trading decision.

Some corporate actions may result in fractional shares (entitlement involves a fraction or a small portion of one full share) and cash in lieu (cash payments made in lieu of these fractional shares).
Your right to any such fractional entitlements will be waived in accordance with the terms governing your account and your share entitlement from such corporate actions will be rounded down to the nearest full share.
Please note that in view of the frequency of corporate actions which may result in stock consolidations and stock splits at the respective Exchange(s) and the need to rely on our agents to update us timely on such matters, it may not be possible for UOB Kay Hian Pte Ltd
to alert you ahead of time for such corporate actions. You are therefore reminded to trade with caution and to be mindful that sudden sharp unexplained changes in share prices overnight may be due to corporate actions which affect your shareholdings. Always refer to the respective Exchange official websites for such corporate actions.
Do take note that your new holdings in your UTRADE account may not be updated in time before the start of trading after corporate action events. Should you choose to sell the new quantity which result from the stock split or consolidation, please note that it is your responsibility to compute your entitlement correctly. Clients will be held liable for any oversold positions.
UTRADE Portfolio page is an indication of your share holdings from trade(s) executed on UOB Kay Hian Pte Ltd only, and/or through your own manual updates. It will not be updated for 1) shares transferred in or out from your UTRADE account, 2) trades executed with other brokerage house(s) or any corporate action(s).

SGX will display cum-entitlement (CE) and ex-entitlement (XE) corporate action indicators for stocks undergoing share consolidation or share split corporate actions. This will better alert market participants that a stock is about to or have just undergone a corporate action, and prompt them to find out more on the details of the corporate action event.
CE stands for cum-entitlement, which indicates that a stock is about to undergo a corporate action event and is trading on the basis of the upcoming corporate action event. Investors who purchase the stock when the CE indicator is displayed will be entitled to the corporate action declared by the company.
XE stands for ex-entitlement, which indicates that a stock has just undergone a corporate action and is trading on the basis that the corporate action event applies. Investors who purchase the stock when the XE indicator is displayed will not be entitled to the corporate action previously declared by the company.
After a company makes an announcement for share consolidation, CE will be displayed for the stock, indicating that the stock is trading on a pre-consolidation basis and is about to undergo a share consolidation.
On the ex-date, consolidation is effective and the XE will be displayed for the stock to indicate that it is now trading on a post consolidation basis.
The table below shows the display of indicators CE/XE on key dates:
Pre-Consolidated Counter | Post-Consolidated Counter (Different stock code) | |
After company announcement on corporate action | CE | Not trading yet |
On ex-date (first day trading on consolidated basis) | XE | XE |
ex+1 and ex+2 | XE | XE |
On record date +1 (or ex+3) | DL (to be delisted) | Remove XE indicator |

It is important that investors are educated about the prohibited conduct. Please note that below is only an extract of the Securities and Futures Act ("SFA"), Prohibited Conduct - Securities. For more information, kindly refer to Securities and Futures Act – Part XII Market Control.
We would also want to highlight certain trading practices that are prohibited by law under the Securities and Futures Act (“SFA”). These practices could possibly be deemed as offences under Section 197 of the SFA on false trading and market rigging transaction.
The following illustrates the prohibited practices where there is a No change in beneficial ownership of securities.
Example 1: Client A has one trading account and used the same trading account number to tradeClient A places an order via the Internet to buy X number of shares in Company ABC at $0.50 in the market. Following the first order placed, he later keyed-in another order, via the Internet, to sell shares in Company ABC at the same price in the market. The sell order was matched (completely or partially) against his own buy order in his trading account in the market. The reverse also applies where client A’s sell order matches against his subsequent buy order. |
Example 2: Client B has multiple accounts (Cash / SBL / Margin) opened with UOB Kay Hian Pte Ltd and used a different trading account number to tradeClient B places an order under his cash account, via the Internet, to buy X number of shares in Company ABC at $0.50 in the market. Following the first order placed, he keyed-in another order, under his SBL / margin account (i.e. different trading account number), via the Internet, to sell shares in Company ABC at the same price in the market. The sell order was matched (completely or partially) against his own buy order in his cash accounts in the market. The reverse also applies where client B’s sell order in his cash account matches against his subsequent buy order in his other accounts. |
The above examples have the effect of creating a “wash sale”. A wash sale is a purchase or sale of any securities that does not involve a change in the beneficial ownership of those securities. |
Section 197 (1) of the SFA prohibits any person from creating or doing anything that is intended or likely to create a false or misleading appearance of active trading in any securities on a securities market, or with respect to the market for, or the price of, such securities. Wash sale could have the effect of creating such false or misleading appearances.
Under Section 197(3) read with section 197(4) of the SFA, a person engaging in wash sales in securities is deemed to have created a false or misleading appearance of active trading in securities on a securities market unless the person establishes that the purpose for which he conducted the wash sale was not, or did not include, the purpose of creating a false or misleading appearance of active trading in securities on a securities market.
Apart from the above, there are some other market conduct offences under the SFA which apply generally to a person as follows:
SFA 198: Securities market manipulation
SFA 199: False or misleading statements, etc.
SFA 200: Fraudulently inducing persons to deal in securities
SFA 201: Employment of manipulative and deceptive devices
SFA 202: Dissemination of information about illegal transactions
SFA 204: PENALTIES
Clients shall not participate in any prohibited market conduct in securities or in any insider trading or knowingly assist a person in such conduct. For more information, please refer to MAS Enforcement Actions and Securities and Futures Act – Part XII Market Control.

Counter party information tells you who the brokers that matched your SGX trades are.
Please refer to the Order Book's Legend to see the full names of these counter parties.
Some counters may be displayed under Top Volume during pre-opening hours (8:30am – 8:58am). This is due to reporting requirements for married trades executed after trading hours. Depending on which of our platforms you are using, right click on the stock name to open the quick menu or hover over the stock to view more options, and select Time & Sales or Trade Summary for more details on these married trades.
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. Read more >>>
This information is provided in the EP column of the Prices page
Key highlights:
1. Orders are matched continuously only at the fixed equilibrium price (also known closing auction price) established from the preceding closing auction.
2. TAC is available for a security on a trading day only if the closing auction for that security on that day resulted in a closing auction price; correspondingly, TAC will not be available for a security if there is no closing auction price on that day.
3. Unmatched limit orders from the closing routine will be carried forward to the TAC phase and will expire (with the exception of the long-dated orders) at the end of the TAC phase.
4. CAP value will appear under the CAP column in your Watchlist, Top Movers and Prices page. It will only be displayed during TAC session.
Your order will be rejected with the following message if you have entered an invalid price during TAC session.
Example 1
Order entered with a limit price not equal to closing auction price.
Rejection reason: "Premium doesn’t match fixed price"
Example 2
Order entered with a limit price when there is no closing auction price.
Rejection reason: "No fixed price available in fixed price matching session"

Circuit breakers are measures instituted by exchanges to stop trading temporarily when the market has fallen by a certain percentage in a specified period. They are intended to guard against disorderly situations in the face of rapid and unchecked market movements and prevent a market free fall by permitting buy and sell orders to rebalance. By implementing circuit breakers, investors are given time to assimilate incoming information and make informed choices during periods of high market volatility.
SGX
Singapore Exchange (SGX) introduced circuit breakers in the securities market on 24 February 2014 as an additional market safeguard.
Please refer to the following SGX link for more details: SGX Circuit Breakers
When the circuit breaker is activated, a “CIRB” indicator will be displayed in “Rmks” column. Meanwhile, if the Structured and Company Warrants are halted due to the activation of circuit breaker in the underlying instrument, a “CIRH” indicator will be displayed in “Rmks” column of the affected counter.
The list of counters with circuit breaker triggered for the day are found on SGX Website. Scroll down to the Circuit Breaker section for the list of counters.
Note: If there is no activated circuit breaker for the day, no data will be displayed.

Limit Order (All Markets)
A limit order specifies the price and quantity that a buyer or seller is willing to trade at, i.e. at that price or better (lower for buy, higher for sell). Any portion of the order that can immediately be matched is traded as soon as the order is entered. The rest of the unfilled order sits in the order book.
At-auction Order (HKEx)
An at-auction order is an order with no specified price and is entered into the trading system for execution at the final Indicative Equilibrium Price (IEP). It enjoys a higher order matching priority than an at-auction limit order and will be matched in time priority at the final IEP.
Any outstanding at-auction orders after the end of the Pre-opening Session will be cancelled before the commencement of the Continuous Trading Session.
At-auction Limit Order (HKEx)
An at-auction limit order is an order with a specified price. An at-auction limit order with a specified price at or more competitive than the final Indicative Equilibrium Price (IEP) may be matched at the final IEP during the pre-order matching period from 9.15am to 9.20am. If an IEP cannot be determined during the Closing Auction Session, the Reference Price will serve as the price for matching. The matching of applicable at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders will occur at the Reference Price instead and the matching mechanism will be same as matching at the IEP.
All unfilled at-auction limit orders from the Pre-Opening Session will be converted into limit orders and carried forward to the Morning Session provided that the specified price of that at-auction limit order does not deviate 9 times or more from the nominal (last done price).
Enhanced Limit Order (HKEx)
An enhanced limit order will allow matching of up to 10 price queues (i.e. the best price queue and up to the 10th queue at 9 spreads away). The sell order input price cannot be made at a price of 10 spreads (or more) below the current bid price whereas the buy order input price cannot be made at a price of 10 spreads (or more) above the current ask price.
Any outstanding enhanced limit orders will be treated as a limit order and put in the price queue of the input price.
Special Limit Order (HKEx)
A special limit order will allow matching of up to 10 price queues (i.e. the best price queue and up to the 10th queue at 9 spreads away). A special limit order has no restriction on the input price as long as the order input price is at or below the best bid price for a sell order or at or above the best ask price for a buy order.
Any outstanding special limit orders will be cancelled.
Visit HKEx website for more information on Order Types and Trading Mechanism.
Stop Limit Order (US, TSX, LSE)
A stop limit order has two price components specified - the activation price and the limit price. When the bid/ask price of the stock reaches the activation price, the order converts to a limit order and is executed at the limit (or better, if available.)
^DAY Order (All Markets)
The order is only valid for the day that is sent to the Exchange. If the order is not executed, it will expire at the end of trading day. The Order Book will reflect the status “E” for expired orders. You will need to re-enter the orders if you want to place the orders for the next trading day.
**Good-till-Date (GTD) for US markets
Only applicable for Cash account.
You can set your GTD order up to 30 calendar days. Please do not select Saturdays, Sundays and US holidays as the expiry date.
Always check your order book to make sure that the order status is updated as Queue or Filled during trading hours.
You can only withdraw the quantity on GTD order that is not filled.
The order may incur more transaction cost if the order is partially filled each day and commissions are charged on each day that an execution occurs.
Do be cautions and mindful that when the order is left on the order book for a period of time during which market conditions could change and the order may become unfavorable. In the event of corporate action, such US GTD order will not be auto void or expired in the system. The trading price will usually be adjusted accordingly to reflect the effect of the share consolidation / split / dividend / bonus / rights issues or others. However, the stock prices may also be affected by a myriad of factors such as the usual market forces of demand and supply, economic and political events (both locally and overseas). This information serves as an illustration only, you should not rely on the information above for your trading decision.
ANY |
ANY fill type is only available on US markets, TSX and LSE.
ANY fill type allows your order to be filled in different quantities.
With ANY fill type, orders may be partially executed if there is not enough liquidity or if the market moves away from your limit price. Commission and transaction cost are charged accordingly.

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.

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: Current bid price $63.35, sell order at $33.00 will be rejected (more than 30%).
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 book for the latest order status.

Marking Of Short Sell Orders
To further enhance transparency of market activities, SGX will from 11 March 2013 require marking of short sell orders on its securities markets. Please refer to the Guidelines on Short Selling Disclosure issued by the MAS on 9 January 2013. Short selling in respect of securities is the sale of securities that the seller does not own at the time of sale.
(1) All online clients are expected to accurately disclose the nature of their sell orders based on what they know about their positions at the time of order entry.
An example is set out below:
(a) An investor holds 5,000 shares of Stock A. He puts in a sell order for 5,000 shares of Stock A. This is a normal sell order. He also puts in a buy order for 3,000 shares of Stock A.
(b) Subsequently he enters a sell order for 3,000 shares of Stock A. At the point where he enters the sell order, the buy order for 3,000 shares of Stock A has not been filled. The investor should mark this sell order as a Short Sell Order.
Clients are also required to split partial short orders, where he does not own the full quantity of securities to be sold, into two separate orders. One order is for the portion he owns (i.e., normal sell order) and the other for the portion that he does not (i.e., Short Sell Order).
(2) Clients who place their orders through their Trading Representatives are required to indicate whether their orders are 'Short' or otherwise when placing orders.
If you subsequently discover that you have wrongly marked the sell order which have been executed, please contact your TR no later than 3.00 pm on Trade Date + 1 business day to correct the erroneous marking of the sell order on your behalf.
Section 330(1) of the SFA provides that any person who, with intent to deceive, makes or furnishes, or knowingly and wilfully authorises or permits the making or furnishing of, any false or misleading statement or report to a securities exchange, futures exchange, designated clearing house or any officers thereof relating to dealing in securities shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding S$50,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both. In applying Section 330(1) of the SFA, MAS will consider whether there was intent to deceive in respect of sell orders that had been inaccurately marked by SGX-ST Trading Members or inaccurately disclosed by market participants.
You will need to ensure that securities are available for settlement on Trade Date + 2 business day. If securities are not available for settlement, CDP will conduct buying-in and impose charges and penalties. Visit SGX FAQ for more details on buying-in process, the penalty fees and Clearing information.
Please click here for more information on Short Selling.
If you have sold the wrong securities or wrong quantity, kindly perform a buy to cover back immediately within the same trading day. If you do not cover back the short position on the same trading day or only realised your mistake on the next market day and do not have any securities for settlement on due date, such oversold position will be constituted as “Short Selling” and subject to buying-in and penalties fees. You will be responsible for any losses incurred.

For the UTRADE SG Mobile App: Tap on the order in the Order Book to open the Order Details page. Scroll down and click on “Show Order Activities” to view the rejection reason. Here are a few possible reasons for rejection: For US, London and Toronto markets : Rejection message "ERR_Order_Exceeds_Threshold" e.g. 30% away from prevailing market price, you may check your order price and submit your order again. For US stock, Cameco Corp (CCJ), this stock is settled in physical form and the cost for each execution is USD300. Henceforth, we have blocked buying of this stock. For HKEx: Rejection message "2043 invalid order price" is sent by HKEx. Possible reasons: (i) Order price beyond 24 Bid/Ask spread; or (ii) matching price of more than 10 current market bid/ask, or (iii) Ask Price is higher lower than Bid Price, vice versa. Please check your order price or select Enhanced Limit Order and submit your order again. Refer to HKEx website for more details. |
Any time when an order exceeded our foreign broker allowed threshold (i.e. maximum number of 100,000 shares or 30% price limit threshold), the order will be in "Pending" status, subject to their review or rejection. Meanwhile, please do not cancel or amend your order. Do refresh your order book to check on the order status and call our Client Services for any further clarifications.
Our US counter party has the duties & responsibilities to ensure best execution at the National Best Bid & Offer (NBBO) . All the orders received prior to market open can be routed to any Market Centre and send to the stock’s primary listing exchange. Henceforth, for similar orders that are placed at the same time, they may not be all filled as the orders are competing against each other. Please take note that not all stocks will open promptly at 09.30 am sharp. Similarly, the high and low of the day for certain counters may be executed off the primary exchange and may not be taken as official primary executed prices. This explained why your order may not be executed when you may have seen transactions executed from some financial websites. Those transactions execute off the primary exchange before the official open, which by themselves are still required to be reported under SEC regulation. Any activity prior to the primary market open that is reported to the tape would be from alternative display facilities or dark pools. The reason that these trades are still reported to the tape, even though the primary market is not opened, is because under SEC rules, every stock transaction must be reported to a consolidated data feed, whether it occurs on an exchange, like the NASDAQ or Intercontinental Exchange Inc’s (ICE.N) New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), or in a dark pool. Off-exchange trades are reported through Trade Reporting Facilities (TRFs) run by NASDAQ and NYSE in conjunction with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). While trade execution is usually seamless and quick, it does take time. Prices can change quickly, especially in fast-moving markets. Because price quotes are only for a specific number of shares, investors may not always receive the price they saw on their screen. By the time your order reaches the market, the price of the stock could be slightly – or very – different. Order executions are not dependent on traded prices. A buy (sell) limit order is due for execution only when its price matches or is higher (lower) than the best offer (bid) on the NBBO at the time the order is received. Even when an order is due for execution, execution are not guaranteed as it also dependent on price and time priority, i.e. another order of better price and/or of same price but entered earlier will be executed first.

Parallel listed counters share the same stock name except for the lot size or traded currency. Examples of parallel listed counters include:
SingTel, SingTel 10 and SingTel 100
HPH Trust US$ and HPH Trust S$D
Contract details of trades done for parallel listed counters on/after 26 February 2010 will be reflected in the portfolio and account management pages only as trades done for the main counter (e.g. SingTel, HPH Trust US$). [Contract details of trades done for parallel listed counters before 26 February 2010 will be reflected in the portfolio and account management pages only as trades done for the counter of lesser stock code. Lesser stock codes start with either the earlier alphabet or smaller number (alphabets take precedence over numbers).]
Clients can edit their portfolio by deleting specific entries, and re-entering them with the Add to Portfolio function.
Clients can still sell the shares through any of the parallel listed counters. Clients are also advised to verify their stockholdings against their CDP statements. Do note that your CDP account is updated only after trade settlement, i.e. T+3.
The MAS has released measures that will come into effect from 1 January 2012 to further safeguard the interests of Singapore retail investors.
Under this regime, financial products will be classified as “Excluded Investment Products” (“EIPs”) or “Specified Investment Products” (“SIPs”).
SIPs are financial investment products regulated under the Securities and Futures Act (“SFA”) that are not EIPs. SIPs are deemed to have features and terms that require more knowledge to understand.SIPs are then further divided into two general types:
- certain financial products that listed on a securities or futures exchange in and outside of Singapore; and- those that are not listed on any securities or futures exchange.
SIPs include Exchange Traded Funds, Exchange Traded Notes, Extended Settlement Contracts, Structured Warrants, Stapled Securities, Callable Bull / Bear Contracts, Futures, Options, and Unit Trusts.
You can identify SIPs in the UTRADE platform by the '@' appended at the end of stock names.
Please visit SGX or MAS to find out the basic terms and features of the various types of SIPs.

Under the measures, if you are a retail customer, we are required to conduct a prescribed CAR/CKA to ascertain whether you have the relevant knowledge or experience to understand the risks and features of listed SIPs you intend to continue to trade in before we can allow you to continue to trade in such products.
A customer possessing the relevant knowledge or experience to understand the risks and features of listed SIPs will thus be deemed as “passing” the CAR/CKA.

The RWS highlights the key risks that customers should be aware of before trading in overseas listed investment products. These include differences in legal systems, regulatory regime, political, social and economic developments as well as differences in costs, counterparty and correspondent broker risks between the foreign jurisdictions and Singapore.
According to the MAS Notice on the Sale of Investment Products [SFA04-N12], we are required to disclose to you the risks involved in transacting in overseas-listed investment products. You may either sign and return a copy of the RWS or acknowledge the RWS electronically via UTRADE to confirm that you have understood the risks prior to trading in any overseas-listed investment products.
If you have also traded in SIPs listed above through other brokers in the last 3 years, you may wish to determine whether your total trades in the relevant SIPs for the last 3 years exceed the minimum total number of 6 trades that are required for us to deem you to have passed the CAR/CKA.
If so, and you wish to be able to continue to trade in such SIPs, kindly call your UOBKH Trading Representative or Client Services Department +65 6536 9338
No, there is no need to open a separate account to trade SIPs. To continue to trade SIPs, you just need to fulfill the CAR/CKA criteria.

A market order prioritises execution over all other factors. It will trade through the order book to match the specified quantity. That is, one market order can match with opposite orders of different price levels of the order book until the entire market order volume is filled.

A session state order is an instruction to place an order into an order book at a specific session state of a trading day. A SSO is not visible to the rest of the market before it is being triggered. SSOs that are not activated by the end of the trading day will be automatically deleted from the system.
SSO can be placed in most of the sessions, but it can only be triggered in the following session states:
This order is an instruction containing a target price and volume that will be converted into an actual order in the order book once the target price is met. The order can either be a limit order or a market order, which will determine the nature of the actual order created once the trigger condition is met.
SGX will automatically expire conditional orders that are not activated by end of the trading day.
Please note that advanced order can only be triggered during market Open phase. Overnight advanced order may get rejected by exchange after the market is open if the limit price is outside of the allowed price range when the advanced order is triggered.
For example
ABC shares are currently trading at $2.60. Client wishes to buy ABC shares only when the price falls back to $2.50. However, he also wants to buy at a better price than $2.50, for instance $2.40. In this case, he enters a buy Limit order at $2.40 and a trigger price of $2.50.
During the day, if the trading price of ABC shares starts falling from $2.60 and reaches $2.50 at 11am, the Price Triggered Order is converted into an order to buy at a Limit Price of $2.40.
The buy limit order will only be executed at $2.40 or better price. If the market price never goes down to $2.40 or better, the order will not be executed.
Market-if-touched order benefits investors by providing the flexibility to buy and sell at specific price levels without investors having to constantly monitor market movements. It is particularly of use in fast-moving markets, when investors may not be able to react in time to take advantage of buying or selling opportunities.
Using a Limit-if-Touched order helps to ensure that, if the order does execute, the order will not execute at a price less favourable than the limit price.
Investors must take note that once the market-if-touched order is triggered, the order will be injected into the order book as a market order which comes with the associated risk of a market order. The use of a limit-if-touched order may reduce the risk of being filled at a too unfavourable price when the order is triggered.
A stop order can either be a stop limit order or a stop market order, which will determine the nature of the actual order created once the trigger condition is met. Once activated, the stop market order will be treated the same as a regular market order and the stop limit order will be treated as a regular limit order.
For example
A stop limit order is an order which will be traded at a specified price or better after a given stop price has been reached. That is, once the stop price is reached, the stop limit order becomes a limit order to sell at the limit price or better.
An investor enters a stop limit order to sell ABC shares with a stop price of $2.50 and a limit price of $2.40. The price of ABC shares starts declining from current market price of $2.60 and reaches $2.50 intraday. Upon the price of ABC shares reaching $2.50, the stop limit sell order is triggered, and is converted into a sell limit order. As long as the order can be filled at or above $2.40, it will be executed.
Stop orders benefit investors by allowing them to trade without having to constantly monitor market movements. It is particularly of use in fast-moving markets, where investors may not be able to react quickly enough to limit losses arising from trading positions.
Stop orders are used when an investor wants to execute an order at a specific price, but the market is not currently trading at that price. They are useful for breakout trades where an investor wants his order executed only if the market trades past a particular price.
Stop orders can be used to:
Investors intending to use stop orders must take note of the following:
The difference between these 2 orders is that a Stop order is typically used as a loss-limiting mechanism in respect of open positions, while an if-touched order is used to create new positions in anticipation of a particular reversing trend.
In a falling market, an investor may want to enter the market at a favourable price should the market rebound. Similarly, in a rising market, an investor may want to enter into a short position should the price begin to fall.

CFD EQUITIES & ETFs
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is an agreement between 2 parties to settle, at the close of the contract, any difference between the opening and closing prices of the contract multiplied by the number of units of the underlying asset specified in the CFD.
CFDs allow you to participate in the price movement of an underlying product without actually owning the asset. This can be done by fulfilling a minimum collateral requirement (known as margin) instead of the full contract value.
Leverage is the ratio of |
|||
|
CFDs are Leveraged products traded on margin. For clients who wish to take advantage of price movements with minimum initial capital, UTRADE CFD offers leverage of up to 10X on key component stocks.
Note: UOB Kay Hian Private Limited (UOBKH) reserves the right to vary the required margin for the underlying securities and to limit each client’s trading limit without prior notice.
Example:
Customer A wishes to buy 100 lots of Singtel at $3.60. Singtel has a margin requirement of 10%.
Type of account |
Amount of capital required to trade(excluding charges) |
Cash account |
$36,000 |
CFD account |
$3,600 |
In this instance, Singtel has a leverage of 10:1.
Initial Margin is the margin (collateral) that you must furnish in order to transact in a CFD position and is calculated as a percentage of the full contract value. Once an IM is lodged for a position, it will be marked to market based on the prevailing market prices of the underlying instrument and changes accordingly with the market’s movements.
Available funds is the amount of funds which can be used for trading.
Projected Balance is the total value of the CFD account if all the positions are sold at the current market price, it does not include transaction costs which will be debit from the account the next day.
Projected Balance = Available Funds + Open Gross P/L + Initial Margin Requirement
A margin call will be made intraday whenever the margin ratio of your account exceeds 100%.
Margin ratio is calculated in the following manner:
Margin Ratio = IM/Projected Balance x 100%
When Margin Ratio > 100%, you will have 2 business days to satisfy the margin call.
When Margin Ratio > 125%, you will have 1 business day to satisfy the margin call.
When Margin Ratio > 140%, force-selling of your open positions to bring the margin ratio below 100% again.
You will not be able to initiate a new position until you have satisfied your margin call requirements. Your trading representative will begin force-selling of your existing open positions if you fail to satisfy your margin calls within the stipulated timelines.
All margin calls will be sent via emails. However, clients are advised to monitor their account regularly to avoid the force liquidation of positions.

No, there are no account maintenance fee.
All orders for the same counter, same action, on the same day and on the same side of the position (e.g. close a position) will be amalgamated into one contract.
Contingent Orders can be used as protective stop loss or take profit orders. Once the Contingency Trigger prices attached to the orders are met, the Contingent Orders will be triggered and sent to queue.
Example 1:
Customer X has 10,000 Singtel shares bought at $3.60. He places a Contingent Limit Sell order (Trigger Price) at $3.70, and the Contingent Order price at $3.70.
Scenario A: When Singtel’s last done price reaches $3.70
Outcome A: Customer X’s order will be put to queue to sell at $3.70.
Scenario B: Singtel’s price hovers at the day high of $3.65
Outcome B: Customer X’s Contingent Limit Sell Order is not triggered and remains Good Till Cancel (GTC).
Example 2:
Customer Y has 10,000 Singtel shares bought at $3.60. He places a Contingent Limit Sell order (Trigger Price) at $3.50, and the Contingent Order price at $3.70.
Scenario C: Singtel’s price hovers at the day high of $3.65
Outcome C: The Contingent Limit Order is triggered as its criteria of $3.50 is already met. The order will then be queued at $3.70, if the order is not filled by end of the trading day, it will be purged from the system.
Example 3:
Customer Z has 10,000 Singtel shares bought at $3.60. He places a Contingent Limit Sell order (Trigger Price) at $3.70, and the Contingent Order price at $3.70. Singtel’s price hovers at the day high of $3.65. Customer Z decides to close his position at $3.65 manually, without cancelling the Contingent Limit Sell order.
Scenario D: Singtel’s price rose to $3.71 the following day
Outcome D: Customer Z has a new short position for 10,000 Singtel shares. This is because Contingent Orders are Good Till Cancel if user does not delete them and/or their trigger condition is not met. In this case, Customer Z has 0 Singtel shares after closing his position. However, since the Contingent Order to sell is not cancelled, the sell order is triggered and filled, leaving him with a new short position.

A Contract for Difference (CFD) is an agreement between 2 parties to settle, at the close of the contract, any difference between the opening and closing prices of the contract multiplied by the number of units of the underlying asset specified in the CFD.
CFDs allow you to participate in the price movement of an underlying product without actually owning the asset. This can be done by fulfilling a minimum collateral requirement (known as margin) instead of the full contract value.
Most of the major stock indices are based on a basket of blue chip stocks that represent the performance of the financial market. CFD Indices is a financial instrument that tracks the underlying Stock Index.

|
CFDs are Leveraged products traded on margin. For clients who wish to take advantage of price movements with lesser initial capital, UTRADE CFD Indices offers leverage of up to 20X on Stock Indices.
Example:
Client A wishes to buy 10 lot of US30 Index quoted at $25,000. US30 has a margin requirement of 5%.
Type of account | Initial Margin required | Contract Value |
CFD account | $12,500 | $250,000 |
Initial margin (IM) is the minimum amount required to open a position. It is calculated as a percentage of the full contract value.
Maintenance Margin (MM) is the minimum amount required to maintain an existing position. *UOBKH Initial Margin (IM) & Maintenance Margin (MM) Requirements are equal for CFD Indices.
Free Margin (UTRADE MT4) and Available Funds (UTRADE Delta) both refers to the surplus of funds to initiate new positions.
Account Equity (UTRADE MT4) and Projected Balance (UTRADE Delta) both refer to the total value of the account if all the positions are sold at the current market price, it does not include transaction costs which will be debit from the account the next day.
A Margin Call is our alert to you to deposit more funds, or to (partially) close your positions if you so choose, when the market is against your favour. You will not be able to initiate new positions until your account is out of a margin call.
UTRADE MT4
An email will be triggered and sent to you immediately to inform you whenever the margin level of your account is at or below 100%.
Margin Level = Account Equity (AE) / Maintenance Margin Required of all positions (MM) ≤ 100%
When Margin Level ≤ 100% you are advised to either top up your account or close your positions.
UTRADE Delta
An email will be triggered and sent to you immediately to inform you whenever your Initial Margin Requirement % of your account is at or exceeds 100%.
Initial Margin Requirement % = (Initial Margin / Projected Balance)* 100% ≥ 100%
When Initial Margin Requirement % ≥ 100%, you are advised to either top up your account or close your positions.
*All margin calls will be sent via emails. However, clients are advised to monitor their account regularly to avoid the force liquidation of positions.
UTRADE MT4
UTRADE MT4 will trigger an auto-liquidation when margin level falls to 50% and below.
They will close out the position (in full) that is performing the worst.
Example:
Position No | Symbol | B/S | Trade Size | Open Price | Market Price | Unrealised P/L |
1 | AUS200 | Buy | 10 | 5,904 | 5,808 | -969.60 |
2 | JP225 | Sell | 10 | 20,700 | 20,725 | -3.25 |
3 | US30 | Sell | 10 | 24,111 | 23,766 | 4,588.50 |
In this example, the AUS200 Position is making the greatest loss and hence it is the worst performing position. This position will be auto-liquidated in full when account margin level falls to 50% and below.
This process is repeated until the account margin level recovers above 50%.(i.e. 50.01%)
UTRADE DELTA
UTRADE Delta will trigger an auto-liquidation when Initial Margin Requirement % is 200% and above.
They will close out the position (in full or partial) that is performing the worst.
Example:
Position No | Symbol | B/S | Trade Size | Open Price | Market Price | Unrealised P/L |
1 | AUS200 | Buy | 10 | 5,904 | 5,808 | -969.60 |
2 | JP225 | Sell | 10 | 20,700 | 20,725 | -3.25 |
3 | US30 | Sell | 10 | 24,111 | 23,766 | 4,588.50 |
In this example, the AUS200 Position is making the greatest loss and hence it is the worst performing position. This position could be auto-liquidated in partial or in full when initial margin requirement % reaches 200% and above.
This process is repeated until the account’s Initial Margin Requirement % recovers below 200%.

LFX stands for Leveraged Foreign Exchange. It is an Over-The-Counter (OTC) instrument that comprises 2 currencies, called a currency pair. A trade is made by buying one currency and selling the other.
Yes, you can execute a trade either to long or to short a currency pair.
Trading of LFX can be done 24 hours a day, whenever the market is open in any one time zone except weekends; 22:00 hrs GMT Sunday (Sydney market opens) until 22:00 GMT Friday (New York market closes)
Example:
Client A wishes to buy 100,000 of EUR/USD at 1.40. EUR/USD has a margin requirement of 5%.
Type of account | Amount of capital required to trade |
Non-leveraged | USD140,000 |
Leveraged | USD7,000 |
In this instance, EUR/USD has a leverage of 20:1.
A Margin Call is our alert to you to deposit more funds, or to (partially) close your positions if you so choose, when the market is against your favour. You will not be able to initiate new positions until your account is out of a margin call.
All Margin Call alerts will be sent to you via the email address associated with your LFX Account. However, clients are advised to monitor their account regularly to avoid the force liquidation of positions.
UTRADE MT4
Margin call occurs when your margin level falls to 100%
I.e. Margin Level = (Equity / Maintenance Margin) *100% ≤ 100%
When Margin Level ≤ 50%, your worst performing position/s will be auto-liquidated
Example:
Position No | Symbol | B/S | Trade Size | Open Price | Market Price | Unrealized P/L in SGD |
1 | USDCAD | Buy | 500,000 | 1.2744 | 1.2645 | -5,132.40 |
1 | EURUSD | Buy | 100,000 | 1.2195 | 1.2192 | -37.24 |
1 | USDJPY | Sell | 100,000 | 103.4360 | 102.4247 | 1,314.69 |
In this example, the USDCAD Position is making the greatest loss and hence it is the worst performing position.
This position will be auto-liquidated in full notional when account margin level falls to 50% or below.
This process is repeated until the account margin level recovers above 50%. (I.e. 50.01%)
UTRADE Delta
Margin call occurs when your Initial Margin Requirement % reaches 100% and above
I.e. Initial Margin Requirement % = (Initial Margin / Projected Balance) * 100% ≥ 100%
When Initial Margin Requirement % ≥ 200%, your worst performing positions will be auto-liquidated
Position No | Symbol | B/S | Trade Size | Open Price | Market Price | Unrealized P/L in SGD |
1 | USDCAD | Buy | 500,000 | 1.2744 | 1.2645 | -5,132.40 |
1 | EURUSD | Buy | 100,000 | 1.2195 | 1.2192 | -37.24 |
1 | USDJPY | Sell | 100,000 | 103.4360 | 102.4247 | 1,314.69 |
In this example, the USDCAD Position is making the greatest loss and hence it is the worst performing position.
This position will be auto-liquidated either in partial or full notional when account’s initial margin requirement % is 200% or greater.
This process is repeated until the account initial margin requirement % recovers below 200%.

Share Margin Financing (SMF) is a credit facility offered to clients to boost their investments in shares using cash and/or marginable securities as collateral.
With UOBKH SMF facility, you can:
a) Trade up to 3.5 times of your cash deposit or 2.5 times the value of acceptable securities you furnished as collateral.
b) Enjoy the convenience of using the SMF account to trade online for SGX & selected foreign market shares via www.utrade.com.sg.
c) Multi-currency share margin facility. Approved financing currencies are SGD, USD, HKD, AUD, JPY, EUR and GBP.
To open a SMF account with a Dealer/Remisier, kindly contact our Client Services hotline at +65 6536 9338.
Note: To be eligible for the Share Margin Financing facility, the client must be above 21 years of age.
Trade contracts must be settled in one of the approved financing currencies, i.e. SGD, USD, HKD, AUD, JPY, EUR or GBP. Any deviation in settlement currency, trade contracts shall be auto-settled in SGD on trade due date, unless otherwise specified.
Debit balances and interest charges shall be accrued according to your settlement instruction. This is not withstanding the fact that you may have sufficient credit balances in one currency to offset debit balances in another currency. You would need to instruct your Trading Representative to do a currency conversion from the currency in credit to offset the debit balances in another currency.
You only need to place a minimum initial cash deposit of $10,000 or approved securities with a market value of S$15,000 for a SMF facility of S$30,000.
The counter limit is the maximum value that you can pledge &/or trade up to per marginable security. For details, please refer to item (2) under our Basic Terms of Share Margin Facility.
Initial margin is the minimum margin required prior to buying marginable securities. For details, please refer to item (2) & (3) under our Basic Terms of Share Margin Facility.
Security cover is computed by dividing Total Marginable Value ('TMV') with Total Financed ('TF').
For Example
Collateral comprises shares with margin value S$40,000. You can purchase shares of up to S$100,000 in value
TMV = S$140,000 (S$40,000 + S$100,000: assuming purchased shares are valued at 100%) TF = S$100,000
Security Cover = (S$140,000/S$100,000) x 100 = 140% |
Margin call will be made when the security cover falls below 140%. You are required to meet your margin call within the stipulated timeframe as stated under item (4) in our Basic Terms of Share Margin Facility.
No new transactions, other than liquidation of shares are allowed within the period of margin call. UOBKH may at its own discretion restore the required security cover by initiating the sale of margin shares in your account, in compliance with prevailing regulations.
You can either deposit additional cash, marginable securities or sell shares in your existing portfolio to restore the margin ratio.
Contra is not allowed for shares in the SMF account.
You can withdraw securities and cash if your SMF account is in excess of the security cover of 150%. Dividends and profits may also be withdrawn provided the security cover of 140% is maintained after the withdrawal.
Please refer to item (4) under our Basic Terms of Share Margin Facility.

A Structured Product is a complex financial investment where the value is derived from a reference asset(s) or investment strategy. The return of the investment is tied to the performance of the underlying asset(s), which may include equities, indices, foreign currencies, fixed income, commodities, interest rates, or a combination of these reference assets.
Structured Products can be customized according to investors' desired payoff structure and are linked to the performance of the underlying reference asset(s).
There is a wide range of Structured Products available in the market and as they are complex in nature, there is no standard and simple explanation of how they work. They are broadly categorized into:
Principal-protection Note
Guarantees a rate of return equal to the investor’s initial investment regardless of the performance of the underlying reference asset(s). Whilst it is suitable for risk adverse investor whose dominant investment objective is to preserve its capital, it does not eliminate the other risks associated with Structured Products.
Yield Enhancement Notes
Offers a pre-determined yield in return for a downside risk for a stock, index or any reference asset(s). Whilst it appears to have predefined market risk or parameters, it does not eliminate the other risks associated with Structured Products.
Participation and/or Leveraged Notes
Offers further enhanced yield with little or no limit to upside participation or downside performance of the underlying reference asset(s). A Participation Note with leverage provides enhanced yield with inbuilt leverage. Whilst it appears to have predefined market risk or parameters, it does not eliminate the other risks associated with Structured Products. The most common type of Yield Enhancement Notes is the Equity-Linked Notes (ELNs).
Depending on the issuer and your qualification (Accredited Investor or qualified by CKA), the minimum investment amount for pre-packaged Structured Product starts from US$50,000.
Kindly contact your Trading Representative for the custody and handling fees.
No, the maximum loss is capped at the invested capital amount.
There are guaranteed or partially principal-protected notes. Kindly contact your Trading Representative to find out more.
Accredited Investors and those qualified by CKA are eligible to purchase Structured Products.
Structured Products are complex financial investments and highly customized. We will propose ideas that are aligned with your investment objectives and risk after understanding your investment views. Please get in touch with your Trading Representative to start the investing process.

If the prevailing interest rate is 1.3% p.a., he will receive 1.3% p.a. on S$200,000 from 1 May to 14 May and 1.3% p.a. on S$100,000 from 15 May to 31 May. The accrued interest earned will be reflected in his trust account on the last working day of May.
To subscribe to UCASH, fill in the opt-in form and submit the form either by:
1. Mailing in to UOB Kay Hian, addressed to Client Accounts team; or
2. Sending an e-copy of the filled application to contact@utrade.com.sg

UCASH Enhanced (UCASH-EN) is a weekly liquidity service introduced as an enhancement to the existing UCASH service. UCASH-EN allows opted-in UCASH clients to term out funds in their UCASH balance for one week to enhance interest yield.
UCASH-EN provides a higher interest yield as compared to your bank savings account, trust balances with UOBKH and the UCASH service.
Please contact your Trading Representative to place your funds in UCASH-EN.
Funds placed in UCASH-EN are subject to a one week lock-in period. After the one week lock-in, funds in UCASH-EN may be withdrawn or used for investment purchases with a one business day notice period (cut off time 5pm).
UCASH-EN is currently available in US dollars and Singapore dollars.
You will need to opt-in to the UCASH service to be eligible for UCASH-EN.
UCASH-EN will be invested in bank deposits, short-term government bonds and bills, and other short-term investments as UOB Kay Hian may deem fit from time to time.
There will be a minimum sum of USD 10,000 or SGD 10,000 and no maximum sum.
Monday to Friday (except for Public Holidays). The cut-off time for your Trading Representative to submit your instruction is 5 pm.
UCASH-EN will only be placed on the next business day if the request is submitted after cut-off time.
Funds placed in UCASH-EN will remain until a withdrawal instruction is received. No standing instruction is required.
Please contact your TR to check the amounts placed in UCASH-EN.
The lock-in period will end on the next business day, after the public holiday.
Like the earned interest from the UCASH service, interest from UCASH-EN will accrue daily and be credited on the last business day of the month.
You may view the prevailing indicative interest rate here. The prevailing interest rate on the account is indicative and not inclusive of charges (if any). The rate is reviewed and revised periodically and can change without notice.
As the prevailing indicative rate is derived from the changes in prices of the underlying investments, the rate may be revised to zero as the prices change. In the event of extreme market volatility, there may be a reduction in your capital.
Since its launch in 2021, UCASH has been consistently paying out monthly interest without any drawdown in capital.
No, your statement will continue to show the sum of both UCASH and UCASH-EN as a total cash balance. However, you will be able to see transaction entries showing the placement and withdrawal of UCASH-EN.
