The filled price may deviate considerably from the expected price at time of placing such order. The order processing time required will depend on the prevailing market situation and the number of orders that need to be processed. The possible delay in order processing could incur great loss, and you are advised to enquire the order status after placing the order.
A MO will be sent to the market in the form of Special Limit Order during continuous trading session. The order price will be set as the prevailing best bid price (for sell orders) / ask price (for buy orders) for matching at the time of order submission by you. Any unexecuted unfilled quantity of the order after matching will be cancelled immediately. Under a fluctuating market, the order may be rejected or unexecuted unfilled if (but without limitation to) the prevailing best bid price goes down (for sell orders) / ask price goes up (for buy orders) before the order is sent to the exchange successfully leading to unmatched orders and hence immediate order cancelation (due to feature of Special Limit Order).
The below example illustrates the details of a "buy" market order for a particular stock:
The price queue of the stock in 15 spreads are shown below:
Ask Price | Quantity |
1.01 | 6K |
1.02 | 1K |
1.03 | 1K |
1.04 | 2K |
1.05 | 2K |
1.06 | 2K |
1.07 | 1K |
1.08 | 0 |
1.09 | 1K |
1.10 | 1K |
1.11 | 1K |
1.12 | 9K |
1.13 | 0 |
1.14 | 0 |
1.15 | 12K |
Nominal Price = 1.01
Market Order Spread = 10 spreads; the Upper Limit Price = Nominal Price + 10 spreads = 1.11
Quantity = 20K
Orders sent to the market:
Order Details | Executed Quantity (Price) | Rejected Quantity | Total Executed Quantity |
1. Buy 20K at 1.11* | 6K (1.01) 1K (1.02) 1K (1.03) 2K (1.04) 2K (1.05) |
8K | 12K |
2. Buy 8K at 1.11* | 2K (1.06) 1K (1.07) 1K (1.09) 1K (1.10) 1K (1.11) |
2K | 18K |
* Remarks: orders will be sent to the market in the form of a Special Limit Order.
The order is closed with a partially executed status (with a total executed quantity of 18K) and the outstanding quantity of 2K will automatically be cancelled. That means a market order will be executed for the largest quantity possible until reaching the limit price (i.e. 1.11) and the outstanding unexecuted quantity will automatically be cancelled.
In the pre-opening session, unfilled ALOs with an input price not deviating 9 times or more from the prevailing nominal price will be converted to Limit Orders at the input price and will be carried forward to the next Continuous Trading Session. Unfilled ALOs will be automatically carried forward to CAS if the order price is within the permissible price limit determined by SEHK.
* IEP is the price at which the maximum number of shares can be traded if matching occurs. It will be re-calculated every time a new order is entered to AMS/3. The final IEP is determined by the SEHK.
** IEV is the number of shares that can be matched at the IEP. It will be re-calculated every time when a new order is entered to AMS/3 until the end of auction trading session.
You can check the status of your instruction under "Invest" > "Trade Securities" > "Main" > "Order Status".
As the initial order remains in the market awaiting processing until the amendment order or cancellation order is processed, the amendment order or cancellation order may not be transacted or processed. Please check your order status under "Invest" > "Trade Securities" > "Main" > "Order Status".
