Preset Order Service
Preset Order Service
OCBC Bank offers you the Securities Trading Preset Order Service - Preset Buy/Sell Order, Stop Loss Sell Order and Bi-directional Stop Gain/Loss Order.
   
 
Preset Buy/Sell Order
Preset Buy/Sell Order allows customers to place an order valid for up to 7 calendar days if not executed.
When placing a Preset Buy/Sell Order, customer must specify a Preset Buy/Sell Price and a Valid Period. If the order is not executed, it will be carried forward to the next trading day until the end of the Valid Period. Once the order is executed, it will not be carried forward to the next trading day; and an order is regarded as “executed” even though it is only partially executed.
   
 
Note: The Preset Buy Price should be set at or below the nominal price, but must not exceed 50 spreads, whereas the Preset Sell Price should be set at or above the nominal price, but must not exceed 50 spreads.
   
 
Example 1 (Preset Buy Order)
Scenario:
Nominal Price = $5
Spread = $0.01
Customer places a Preset Buy Order with Preset Buy Price at $4.50. (i.e. nominal price minus 50 spreads)
   
 
Result
When the stock price drops to $4.66 (i.e. Preset Buy Price plus 16 spreads*), the order will be placed to the market at $4.50 pending execution.
   
  At the end of the trading day,
 
Possible result 1 Possible result 2
If the order is executed (whether fully or partially), it will not be carried forward to the next trading day. If the order is not executed, it will be carried forward to the next trading day.

If the order has never been executed on any trading day before the valid date, it will be carried forward until the end of the Valid Period.

   
 
Example 2 (Preset Sell Order)
Scenario:
Nominal Price = $5
Spread =$0.01
Customer places a Preset Sell Order with Preset Sell Price at $5.50. (i.e. nominal price plus 50 spreads)
   
 
Result
When the stock price rises to $5.34 (i.e. Preset Sell Price minus 16 spreads*), the order will be placed to the market at $5.50 pending execution.
   
  At the end of the trading day,
 
Possible result 1 Possible result 2
If the order is executed (whether fully or partially), it will not be carried forward to the next trading day. If the order is not executed, it will be carried forward to the next trading day.

If the order has never been executed on any trading day before the valid date, it will be carried forward until the end of the Valid Period.

   
 
* Assume 16 spreads to be the maximum price range determined by OCBC Bank in its absolute discretion that is acceptable for an order to be placed to the market pending execution.
   
 
Stop Loss Sell Order
Stop Loss Sell Order may be a cut loss strategy enabling customers to sell a stock when its price drops to an unfavorable level1
When placing a Stop Loss Sell Order, customer must specify a Stop Loss Price, a Lowest Selling Price, and a Valid Period. When the stock price drops to the Stop Loss Price, the order will be triggered and delivered to the market pending execution at a price which may be at or below the Stop Loss Price but will not be lower than the Lowest Selling Price. Once triggered, the Stop Loss Sell Order will not be carried forward to the next trading day. On the other hand, if the stock price never drops to the Stop Loss Price, the order will be carried forward until the end of the Valid Period.
   
 
Note: The Stop Loss Price must be set below the nominal price and not exceed 50 spreads. The Lowest Selling Price should be set at or below the Stop Loss Price, but must not be less than 0.01 in the trading currency of the securities to which the order relates.
   
 
Example
Scenario:
Nominal Price = $5
Spread = $0.01
Customer places a Stop Loss Sell Order with Stop Loss Price at $4.50 (i.e. nominal price minus 50 spreads) and Lowest Selling Price at $4.30.
   
  Result
 
Possible result 1 Possible result 2
When the nominal price drops to $4.50, the order will be triggered and placed to the market pending execution. The execution price may be at or below $4.50 but will not be lower than $4.30. The order will be valid for only one day and will not be carried forward to the next trading day regardless of whether the order is executed or not. If the nominal price never drops to $4.50 on that trading day, the order will be carried forward to the next trading day.

If the order has never been triggered on any trading day before the valid date, it will be carried forward until the end of the Valid Period.

   
 
Bi-directional Stop Gain/Loss Order
Bi-directional Stop Gain/Loss Order may help customer realize the gain if its price rises, as well as cut loss if its price drops.
When placing a Bi-directional Stop Gain/Loss Order, customer must specify a Stop Loss Price, a Lowest Selling Price, a Limit Selling Price, and a Valid Period. The order will be triggered either when the stock price drops to the Stop Loss Price or rises to the Limit Selling Price. When the stock price drops to the Stop Loss Price, the order will be triggered and delivered to the market pending execution at a price which may be at or below the Stop Loss Price but will not be lower than the Lowest Selling Price. When the stock price rises to the Limit Selling Price, the order will be triggered and placed to the market pending execution at a price which may be at or above the Limit Selling Price. Once triggered, the Bi-directional Stop Gain/Loss Order will not be carried forward to the next trading day. If the order is not triggered, it will be carried forward to the next trading day; and if the order has never been triggered on any trading day before the valid date, it will be carried forward until the end of the Valid Period.
   
 
Note: The Stop Loss Price must be set below the nominal price and not exceed 50 spreads. The Lowest Selling Price should be set at or below the Stop Loss Price, but must not be less than 0.01 in the trading currency of the securities to which the order relates. The Limit Selling Price should be set at or above the nominal price, but must not exceed 50 spreads. The difference between the Limit Selling Price and Stop Loss Price must be at least 30 spreads.
   
 
Example
Scenario
Nominal Price = $5
Spread = $0.01
Customer places a Bi-directional Stop Gain/Loss Order with Limit Selling Price at $5.20 (i.e. nominal price plus 20 spreads), Stop Loss Price at $4.80 (i.e. nominal price minus 20 spreads) and Lowest Selling Price at $4.30.
   
  Result
 
Possible result 1 Possible result 2 Possible result 3
When the nominal price drops to $4.80, the order will be triggered and placed to the market pending execution. The execution price may be at or below $4.80 but will not be lower than $4.30. The order will be valid for only one day and will not be carried forward to the next trading day regardless of whether the order is executed or not. When the nominal price rises to $5.20, the order will be triggered and placed to the market pending execution at a price which may be at or above $5.20. The order will be valid for only one day and will not be carried forward to the next trading day regardless of whether the order is executed or not. If the nominal price neither drops to $4.80 nor rises to $5.20 by the end of the trading day, the order will be carried forward to the next trading day.

If the order has never been triggered on any trading day before the valid date, it will be carried forward until the end of the Valid Period.
