SGX proposes revisions to error trade policy on securities market

The exchange is suggesting a non-cancellation range on selected instruments trading and introduction of price adjustment as resolution tool.

Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) is consulting the public on its proposal to revise the error trade policy on securities market to promote greater trade certainty in trades executed and reduce the incidences of trade cancellation.

The two proposed changes are:-

Introduce a non-cancellation range on selected instruments trading on securities market
SGX proposes to introduce a non-cancellation range of 20 minimum bid sizes or 5% from a reference price determined by SGX, whichever is higher, on selected instruments trading on SGX securities market. SGX will not consider requests to review error trades referred to it if the disputed error trade falls at or within the non-cancellation range. Where applicable, the reference price will be based on the price of the previous trade.

The introduction of a non-cancellation range increases trade certainty in trades which would otherwise have been disputed and referred to SGX. Market participants can anticipate the validity of a trade done, if it is within the non-cancellation range.

As currently practised, parties to a trade can mutually agree to cancel an error trade, whether within or outside the non-cancellation range, according to an SGX report.

Introduce price adjustment as an alternative error trade dispute resolution tool
SGX also seeks public comments on the feasibility of introducing price adjustment as an additional error trade dispute resolution method for instruments on which the non-cancellation range is introduced. SGX proposes several considerations in respect of price adjustment, including the merits of price adjustment and the practical difficulties of implementing it. Specific aspects of these considerations are available for comments in consultation paper.

The consultation paper on the proposed revisions is available on SGX’s website www.sgx.com from today. Market participants and members of the public can send in their comments and suggestions on the proposal from today until 27 September 2011.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
