MF GLOBAL MARKETS GUIDE

CFD Trading Rules - Australia & International Markets


This guide outlines the trading rules and market characteristics for each Contract For Difference (CFD) market offered by MF
Global Australia Limited (MFGA). It is important to note that market rules can change. CFDs are highly leveraged products
which carry significant risks. Before you trade CFDs you must make sure that you have read and understood the MFGA CFD
Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Financial Services Guide (FSG). You will also need to read and sign a Client Agreement form,
and fill in an application form.

The Direct Market Access (DMA) Share CFD model


There are two models available for trading Share CFDs the Direct Market Access (DMA) or Market Maker (MM) model. In the
MM model, you trade on synthetic prices that could potentially be very different from the real prices of the underlying security or
instrument. In the DMA model, you will trade at prices that exactly reflect the price of the underlying market. MFGA uses a DMA
model to trade Share CFDs. One of the main advantages of using this model is its transparency. You can watch underlying trades
being executed on the particular stock exchange you are trading in, or check their place in the queue for limit orders.
All client DMA Share CFD orders are hedged in the physical share market. For each DMA Share CFD order a physical order in
the underlying is routed electronically into the order book and executed on the relevant exchange. The physical holding is then
converted into a Share CFD by the Hedger and execution of your trade is confirmed, all in real time. Because of this DMA Share
CFDs can only be traded when the underlying market is open and the costs of trading reflect the costs of trading in the underlying
equity.

Client Monies

Funds deposited with MFGA are deposited into Clients Segregated Accounts (CSAs) i.e. segregated from MFGAs money and
held and invested in accordance with the Client Agreement and in accordance with the relevant legislation. The purpose of a CSA
is to segregate moneys deposited by MFGAs clients from MFGAs own money, thus insulating the clients moneys from liabilities
arising from any other business liabilities incurred by MFGA. The moneys in MFGAs CSAs cannot be applied to satisfy margin
liabilities or any other liabilities of MFGA that do not relate to client dealings. It should be highlighted that individual client moneys
are not separated from each other as all clients moneys are co-mingled into MFGAs CSAs. As a result, it is important for clients
to understand that the operation of a CSA may not protect an individual clients money in the case of a default arising from the
trading of any other client of MFGA. In such a case, assets in the accounts of non-defaulting clients are potentially at risk, even
though these clients did not cause the default. MFGA has the right to apply all clients moneys held in the CSA to meet any default
of another client. An individual clients moneys may be at risk as such individual balances are not separated from each other but
instead are comingled into CSAs.

Internet trading rules


> You accept personal responsibility for transactions conducted on behalf of any of your accounts once you have logged on.
> You should sign out of every browser session when leaving a terminal unattended to avoid unauthorised access.
> You are encouraged to change passwords frequently.
> After sending an order, you must check for a change in the order type to OK. Until this stage is reached, your order may not be
working in the market. If you are unsure about any order you have placed, please contact us on 13 31 31.

Trading Platform - Functionality & Filters


The following details apply to trading on all Share CFD markets unless indicated otherwise.

Placing orders
You are responsible for monitoring the status of your order by either contacting Westpac Securities CFD Team if trading
by phone, or by viewing the Order Status/Traded Orders window on the TraderPro electronic trading platform. Even if you have
submitted an order via TraderPro, this is never a guarantee that the corresponding contract has been placed in the market by
MFGA.
All orders placed via the TraderPro electronic trading platform are subject to checking by sophisticated credit and risk
management system. Each order is verified against pre-defined rules. As a result, some orders may be rejected electronically due
to one or more of these rules being breached.
MFGA has ASX and Corporations Act obligations to ensure clients maintain an orderly market. Accordingly, we reserve the
right to refuse any order. Orders may not be accepted by the systems for various reasons, including if you have numerous orders in
the market for the same stock or your order prices are too distant from the last executed price. In some instances, your order may
be referred for manual review. While these orders are being reviewed by an operator, you will be unable to amend or cancel the
order. For specific details about placing, amending and cancelling orders for each market, please refer to the relevant section on
that market.
Fat Finger Limits
All trading accounts are set an automatic order limit. These are given in the information for each market below.
Concurrent bid / offer
All trading accounts may only have four (4) concurrent bids and/or offers in the same CFD stock name at one time. Any attempt to
place more than four bids and/or offers in the same security will be rejected, citing User J Bloggs already has 4 or more concurrent
bids and/or offers.
Example of Concurrent Bid/Offer Message
Time

Message

06-03-06

User - JBLOGGS already has 4 or more concurrent bids. Must be authorised.

15:55:27
Free Equity check
This check ensures that the account has sufficient Free Equity to complete the order. The system calculates this using smart last
(the current median point of bid, ask or last). The only exception to this rule is during the opening/closing auction period where
match price is used. If you place an opening order into the TraderPro electronic trading platform which requires more
Initial Margin than is available, the order will automatically be rejected, citing Insufficient Free Equity. If Free Equity is negative,
you will only be able to place closing orders until the Free Equity is positive again.
Example of Free Equity Check Message
Time

Message

06-03-06

Order Status - CFDGLOBAL Buying BHP.ASX for 12345 - Insufficient Free Equity - shortfall of $1361.44

15:55:27
Restricted stocks
From time to time, you may be restricted in the type or number of shares in which you are entitled to trade. If that occurs,
we will notify you of the relevant restrictions. Please refer to the Margin Table in the TraderPro electronic trading platform for more
details.

PAGE 6. MF GLOBAL MARKETS GUIDE

Stocks cannot be short sold


As a result of some corporate actions or the unavailability of the stock to borrow, you may be restricted from short selling
CFDs over certain securities. If you try to sell a security which is currently hard to borrow, the order will automatically be rejected,
citing Security cannot be short sold. (Please see Margin Table in Portfolio Window of TraderPro electronic trading platform for
a complete list of stocks that are currently subject to short selling restrictions. This list is updated daily.) There may also be specific
rules relating to short selling in the different markets. Refer to the section on each market for details. MFGA may also pass on
an additional fee for short positions held overnight in stocks where MFGA incurs additional financing costs to borrow the stock
in the secondary market.
Example of Security Can Not Be Short Sold Message
Time

Message

06-03-06

Order Status - CFDGLOBAL Selling AAC.ASX for 12345 - Security can not be short sold.

15:55:27
Price tolerance (Valid Price Steps: Bid/Ask seven limit)
The number of price steps allowed through the offer or bid price before a filter is breached has been set to a maximum of seven.
An order must exist on the opposite side of the market for this to trigger. This filter is designed to prevent orders from entering the
market and trading immediately at prices too far away from the current market. Orders that breach this filter will be referred to a
dealer for manual review.
Example of Price Tolerance Message
Time

Message

06-03-06

Order has been denied because price difference was 70 steps, only allowed a maximum of 7 steps from current price.

15:55:27
Price tolerance (Order Exceeds 3% of Underlying Stock Price)
This refers to the distance from the current last price, in percentage terms, allowed for an order before it breaches the filter. This
limit has been set at 3%. Therefore, a buy order will breach the filter if the order price is above the last price by greater than 3%.
For sell orders it will be vice versa. Orders that breach this filter require manual intervention by a dealer. This filter does not apply to
the trigger price of a Contingent Order (CO) but does apply to the limit price.
Example of Exceeding 3% of underlying stock price Message
Time

Message

06-03-06

This order has been denied as the order price is 12.5 % above or below the current stock price, the system ONLY allows
a 3% difference from the current price.

15:55:27

Increased order volume


Under the ASX Operating Rules, once an order has been placed into the ASX Trade order book the volume cannot be
increased. If you attempt to increase the volume of your order, you will receive a FAILED message. This message applies to your
amendment only your original order is still alive and active. To trade a greater volume, you can either create a new order for the
extra volume, or delete the order and start again.
Going from long to short or short to long
You must first close out your existing position before entering one in the opposite direction. For example, if you have a long position
that you wish to turn around to a short position, you must close out your existing position and then enter a new order to enter the
short trade. The same is applicable when going from short to long.

MF GLOBAL MARKETS GUIDE

ASX price increments


The ASX has laid down certain rules on the specifications applicable to orders
placed in the market (see table in Appendix I). In particular, there are rules
restricting the price and volume specified for an order. For this purpose, the price
increments applicable to a stock will depend on the prevailing price of the stock:

PAGE 7.

Current CFD Price

Price Increment

0.1 to 9.9

0.1

10 to $1.995

0.5

$2 to <$999

1.0

$999 or more

$1.00

Note: TraderPro electronic trading platform does not accept decimal places for
order entry, except for partial cents. (For example: OXR on the ASX is quoted as
3.34/3.35, on the TraderPro electronic trading platform it is quoted as 334/335.)
Ledger postings
Any ledger postings, such as commission charges, long interest / short rebates, and dividend adjustments for trades are not
reflected in your equity figures until the following business day. Your Gross Liquidation Value (GLV) and Free Equity balances will
be displayed in the base currency (AUD by default) of your portfolio.

opening. The orders are queued according to price-time priority and will not trade
until the market opens.

Market Open

10:00am - 10:09am

The opening is sometimes referred to as the opening auction or opening


match out. Securities open in five groups, according to the starting letter of their
ASX code:

either side of the times given above, e.g. group 1 may open at any time between
9:59:45am and 10:00:15am.
Normal Trading

OPEN - 4:00pm

Normal Trading takes place from 10:09am to 4:00pm, AEST. You may enter
orders into ASX Trade and ASX Trade matches the orders against each other,
resulting in execution of trades. The vast majority of trades take place during
Normal Trading.

Market Close

4:00pm - 4:10pm4

The end-of trading day is sometimes referred to as closing auction or


closing match out. The market generally closes at 4:00pm (AEST). In some
circumstances trading may continue after this time. Trading stops and you may
enter, change and cancel orders in preparation for the market closing.

After Hours Order Placement

4:12pm - 7:00am5

Any orders placed after this time will enter a queue for authorisation by a
Dealer and placed into the market on the following business day from
7:00am.

Corporate actions
The most common types of corporate actions are dividends, bonus and rights issues, mergers, stock splits / distributions and
tenders. Corporate actions are usually announced two or three weeks before the ex-date. The record date is one business day after
the ex-date, and the book-closed date is one business day after the record date. The standard MFGA CFD procedure is outlined
in MFGA's PDSs and CFD Client Agreement. (Note: Withholding tax is applicable to the Australian market if a Tax File Number (TFN)
is not supplied.)

Duties and taxes


Neither stamp duty nor Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable to CFD trading in Australia. Withholding tax is applicable to the
Australian market if a Tax File Number (TFN) is not supplied.

The Closing Auction phase is short (usually a few seconds) and occurs at a random time between 4:10pm and 4:11pm.
the following business day.

MF GLOBAL MARKETS GUIDE PAGE 11.

Order status
Placing an order via TraderPro electronic trading platform is not a guarantee that the corresponding contract has been placed in
the market. You must always refer to the Order Status window for confirmation of the status of your orders as some
orders may be rejected electronically.
There are two types of order:
> Limit and
> Contingent orders.
Limit orders
All DMA Share CFD orders placed via phone or the TraderPro electronic trading platform are set to a default timeline of
Good Till Cancelled (GTC) unless stated or adjusted otherwise to Good For Day (GFD).
> Good for Day orders remain current only during the day on which they are made. All orders not filled by the time the market
closes will be deleted automatically.
> GTC orders remain in the market until filled or manually cancelled by the dealer or client.
> GTC orders are live and active during the pre- and post-auction matches.
> GFD orders are purged by the ASX at 7:00pm.
Note: ASX Trade will delete all outstanding GTC orders on any security at 7:00pm AEST the business night before the
security goes ex-dividend. Other corporate actions may also require purges by the ASX. Contingent orders are the
exception to this rule as contingent orders do not enter ASX Trade until triggered.
Any limit order created and amended after 4:12pm will have the status of AUTHORISING. It will be dated the following trading day
and released to the ASX at 7:00am on that day.
Contingent orders
Contingent orders are orders that you can create which will be placed in the market when specific market conditions are met. For
example, if you are long a CFD you can create a contingent order to sell when a security falls to a certain price. This is known as a
Stop Loss order, and may be used to help manage your DMA Share CFD positions. You must be aware, however, that contingent orders
are not guaranteed. If the underlying security price moves suddenly, your order may not be filled, or may be filled at a price different
to that specified by you, and you may suffer losses as a result.
Short selling
Short selling is allowed in Australia. Please see Margin Table in Portfolio Window of the TraderPro electronic trading platform for
further details.

Fat Finger limits


All trading accounts are set an order limit of AUD Equivalent $250,000 unless you have requested otherwise. Any order placed to a value
greater than AUD Equivalent $250,000 will be referred to the dealers for manual review.

It is NOT possible to enter orders which will create short positions before or during the auction process. Any orders designed to
create short positions must be entered into the market after the official open.

Corporate actions
The most common types of corporate actions are dividends, bonus and rights issues, mergers, stock splits / distributions and
tenders. Corporate actions are usually announced two or three weeks before the ex-date. The record date is one business day after
the ex-date, and the book-closed date is one business day after the record date. The standard MFGA CFD procedure is outlined
in MFGA's PDSs and CFD Client Agreement. (Note: Withholding tax is currently not applicable to the Hong Kong market.)

Duties and taxes


Stamp duties and transaction levies are payable on transactions by both BUYER and SELLER. The stamp duty is charged at
0.1125% of the consideration by the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong. The stamp duty charge is built into the
brokerage rate. Withholding tax is currently not applicable to the Hong Kong market.

How SEHK matches bids and asks


Trades on SEHK must generally be executed using the Automatic Order Matching and Execution System (AMS/3). Orders are
continuously normally executed in strict order according to order type, price and time priority.
Order type
During the Auction input periods, at-auction orders will have a higher matching priority than at-auction limit orders, regardless of
the price specified and the time entered into the system. An at-auction order is an order with no specified price and execution of
the trade will be done at the final Indicative Equilibrium Price (or IEP, described in more detail below). An at-auction limit order is an
order with a specified price and will be automatically cancelled if not filled during the matching period.
Price
For at-auction limit orders submitted in the auction input periods, and all orders submitted into the Continuous Trading Session, a
bid order with a higher specified price will have priority over a bid order with a lower specified price; and an ask order with a lower
specified price will have priority over an ask order with a higher specified price. In each case, this will be irrespective of the time the
order is entered into the system.
Time
For orders of the same type (and price, in the case of limit orders), the order entered into the system at an earlier time will be
executed in full before an order at the same price entered at a later time is executed.

Placing, amending and cancelling orders


Placing orders
All Hong Kong orders placed using the TraderPro electronic trading platform are good for day only (GFD). This means they remain
current only during the day on which they are made. All orders not filled by the time the market closes will be deleted automatically.
For partially filled orders, TraderPro will send a Done for Day message, indicating the details of the part of the order that has
been filled.
Contingent orders
All contingent orders are GTC orders. They cannot be set to any other lifetime. As contingent orders remain on the MFGA
server until triggered or cancelled, their lifetime is open-ended. The LIMIT order that contingent orders send to SEHK once
triggered is GFD. Therefore once a contingent order is triggered if it is not filled by the end of the day, the order for the balance will
be purged by the AMS. If a contingent order is triggered and is designed to open a short position, and it does not meet the up tick
rule requirements, the order will be rejected. You must be aware, however, that contingent orders are not guaranteed. If the
underlying security price moves suddenly, your order may not be filled, or may be filled at a price different to that specified by you,
and you may suffer losses as a result.

SEHK price increments


The SEHK has laid down certain rules on the specifications
applicable to orders placed in the market (see table in
Appendix II). In particular, there are rules restricting the price
and volume specified for an order. For this purpose, the price
increments applicable to a stock will depend on the prevailing
price of the stock:

Opening quotations
If the order is the first order entered into the trading system on each trading day, the opening quotation rule would apply. This
means that the first order (whether bid or ask) must not deviate nine price steps or more from the previous closing price. If the
opening order is made in the Continuous Trading Session, where there has been no first ask of the day, the first bid price must also
be higher than or equal to the previous closing price minus eight spreads; or where there has been no first bid of the day, the first
ask price must be lower than or equal to the previous closing price plus eight spreads.
Volume round lots
Only orders for round lots are accepted by TraderPro. The size of a round lot will vary according to the underlying
stock over which the CFD is created8. Therefore, ALL orders must be equivalent to at least one round lot or multiples thereof.
Please refer to the CFD Trading Account Margin table in TraderPro (or order ticket) for further details
Short selling
You should be aware of SEHKs up tick rule. A short sale cannot be executed in the market at a price that is lower than the best ask
price at that time, ie. you can never hit a bid, you may only join the offer once the bid has traded.
Amending orders
An order may be amended during the auction input periods (other than at certain specified times see Trading hours and
phases, page 12) and the Continuous Trading Session prior to it being filled. The following fields in an order may be amended:
> Price

> Volume

> Type

Cancelling Orders
An order may be cancelled at any time (other than at certain times in the Pre-Opening Session see Trading hours and phases
on page12) prior to being filled. However, all orders cancelled during the 12:30pm 2:30pm lunch period are not confirmed by the
SEHK until 2:00pm.
Fat Finger Limits
All trading accounts are set an order limit of HKD$1.5M (unless otherwise requested by the client). Any order placed to a greater
value than HKD$1.5M will be referred to a dealer for AUTHORISING.
Going from long to short
Under SEHK rules, you must first close out your existing position before entering one in the opposite direction. For example, if you
have a long position that you wish to turn around to a short position, you must close out your existing position and then enter a new
order to enter the short trade.

MF GLOBAL MARKETS GUIDE PAGE 17.

How TSE matches bids and asks


Trades on TSE must generally be executed using the automatic order matching.
Priority of normal orders
Orders are continuously normally executed in strict order according to order type, price and time priority (there are exceptions
see Simultaneous Orders below). For orders of the same type (and price, in the case of limit orders), the order entered into the
system at an earlier time will be executed in full before an order at the same price entered at a later time is executed.
Simultaneous orders
Orders are normally executed on the basis of price and time priority. However, in the following circumstances orders are treated as
simultaneous orders and time priority is ignored:
a) All orders placed before the opening price is determined.
b) All orders placed before the determination of the initial price after resumption of trading due to a temporary trading halt.
c) All orders at the daily limit price, which will be executed with market orders at the closing price of the afternoon session (or the
morning on half-day holidays).
Note: All remaining orders from the morning session are treated as simultaneous orders at the beginning of the afternoon session.
Apart from those give in (c), these simultaneous orders are executed according to a four-step mechanism determined by TSE as
set out below. Distribution of simultaneous orders:
Step Description
1. TSE totals up the orders from each Trading Participant and arranges them in descending order from the Trading Participant with
the largest order. Shares are then distributed until each Trading Participant receives five trading units.
2. Following the order determined in Step 1, each Trading Participant then receives shares equal to a third of the remaining portion
of its order. (Fractions are rounded up to the nearest trading unit).
3. Following the order determined in step 2, each Trading Participant then receives shares equal to one half of the remaining
portion of its order. (Fractions are rounded up to the nearest trading unit.)
4. Following the order determined in Step 3, each Trading Participant then receives the remaining portion of its order. Thus
simultaneous orders are executed in proportion to the total amount of each Trading Participants orders. Trading
Participants then distribute the shares among their customers according to their own internal guidelines.

Placing, amending and cancelling orders


Placing orders
All Japanese LIMIT orders placed using the TraderPro Electronic trading platform are good for day only (GFD). That is, they remain
current only during the day on which they are made. All orders not filled by the time the market closes will be deleted automatically.
For partially filled orders, TraderPro will send a Done for Day message, indicating the details of the part of the order that has
been filled.
Contingent orders
All contingent orders are GTC orders. They cannot be set to any other lifetime. As contingent orders remain on the MFGA
server until triggered or cancelled, their lifetime is open-ended. The LIMIT order that contingent orders send to TSE once triggered
is GFD. Once a contingent order is triggered, if it is not filled by the end of the day the order for the balance will be purged by the
TSE. If a contingent order is triggered and is designed to open a short position, and it does not meet the up tick rule requirements,
the order will be rejected. You must be aware, however, that contingent orders are not guaranteed. If the underlying security price
moves suddenly, your order may not be filled, or may be filled at a price different to that specified by you, and you may suffer losses
as a result.

Corporate actions
The most common types of corporate actions are dividends, bonus and rights issues, mergers, stock splits/distributions and
tenders. Corporate actions are usually announced two or three weeks before the ex-date. The record date is one business day after
the ex-date, and the book-closed date is one business day after the record date. The standard MFGA CFD procedure is outlined
in MFGA's PDSs and CFD Client Agreement.

Duties and taxes


Stamp duties and transaction levies are payable on transactions by both BUYER and SELLER. The stamp duty is charged at 0.3%
fractional part of MYR1000 or higher. 0.1% is also levied on the BUYER and SELLER of a trade. The stamp duty charge is built into
the MFGA brokerage rate.

How KLSE matches bids and asks


Trades on KLSE must generally be executed using the automatic order matching in SCORE.
Priority of normal orders
Orders are continuously normally executed in strict order according to order type, price and time priority. For orders of the same
type (and price, in the case of limit orders), the order entered into the system at an earlier time will be executed in full before an
order at the same price entered at a later time is executed.
Simultaneous orders
Orders are normally executed on the basis of price and time priority.

Placing, amending and cancelling orders


Placing orders
All Malaysian LIMIT orders placed using TraderPro are good for day only (GFD). That is, they remain current only during
the day on which they are made. All orders not filled by the time the market closes will be deleted automatically. For partially
filled orders, TraderPro will send a Done for Day message, indicating the details of the part of the order that has
been filled.
Contingent orders (COs)
All contingent orders are GTC orders. They cannot be set to any other lifetime. As contingent orders remain on TraderPro
until triggered or cancelled, their lifetime is open-ended. The LIMIT order that contingent orders send to KLSE once triggered
is GFD. Once a contingent order is triggered, if it is not filled by the end of the day the order for the balance will be purged by the
KLSE. If a contingent order is triggered and is designed to open a short position, and it does not meet the up tick rule requirements,
the order will be rejected. You must be aware, however, that contingent orders are not guaranteed. If the underlying security price
moves suddenly, your order may not be filled, or may be filled at a price different to that specified by you, and you may suffer losses
as a result.

Opening quotations
If the order is the first order entered into the trading system on each trading day, the opening quotation rule would apply. This
means that the first order (whether bid or ask) must not deviate nine price steps or more from the previous closing price. If the
opening order is made in the Continuous Trading Session, where there has been no first ask of the day, the first bid price must also
be higher than or equal to the previous closing price minus eight spreads; or where there has been no first bid of the day, the first
ask price must be lower than or equal to the previous closing price plus eight spreads.
Volume round lots
Only orders for round lots are accepted by TraderPro. The size of a round lot will vary according to the underlying
stock over which the CFD is created. Therefore, ALL orders must be equivalent to at least one round lot or multiples thereof.
Please refer to the CFD Trading Account Margin table in TraderPro (or order ticket) for further details.

MF GLOBAL MARKETS GUIDE PAGE 25.

Short selling
You should be aware of KLSEs up tick rule. A short sale cannot be executed in the market at a price that is lower than the best ask
price at that time.
Amending orders
An order may be amended during the Pre-Opening Session (other than at certain specified times see Trading hours and phases
above) and the Continuous Trading Session prior to it being filled. The following fields in an order may be amended:
> Price

> Volume

> Type

Cancelling orders
An order may be cancelled at any time (other than at certain times in the Pre-Opening Session see Trading hours and phases
on page 23) prior to being filled.
Going from long to short
Under KLSE rules, you must first close out your existing position before entering one in the opposite direction. For example, if you
have a long position that you wish to turn around to a short position, you must close out your existing position and then enter a new
order to enter the short trade.

How NZX matches bids and asks


Orders are executed in strict order according to order type, price and time priority. For orders of the same type (and price, in the
case of limit orders), the order entered into the system at an earlier time will be executed in full before an order at the same price
entered at a later time is executed.

Placing, amending and cancelling orders


Placing Orders
Limit orders
All New Zealand orders placed using the TraderPro electronic trading platform are Good Till Cancelled (GTC) unless stated /
adjusted otherwise to Good for Day (GFD). GTC orders are valid from the trade entry date + 63 calendar days (inclusive) if not
cancelled or filled earlier. GFD orders are purged by the NZX at 2:00am the next morning. GTC orders are live and active during
the pre- and post-auction matches.
Contingent Orders
All contingent orders are GTC orders. They cannot be set to any other lifetime. As contingent orders remain on TraderPro until
triggered or cancelled their lifetime is open-ended. Currently, the limit order that contingent orders send to the NZX once triggered
is GTC. Therefore, once a contingent order is triggered, if it is not filled by the end of the day, the order for the balance will remain
in the system until purged by the NZX 63 calendar day rule (see above). You must be aware, however, that contingent orders are
not guaranteed. If the underlying security price moves suddenly, your order may not be filled, or may be filled at a price different to
that specified by you, and you may suffer losses as a result.
Note: NZX Trading System will delete all outstanding GTC orders on any security at 2am (NZST) the business night of the record
date. Contingent orders are the exception to this rule as contingent orders do not enter NZX Trading System until triggered.
Minimum purchases
There is no minimum limit to the number of share CFDs that you can purchase. There is, however, a minimum commission
payable. Execution is charged on a per trading day basis. All CFD trades over the same share CFD on the same business day are
amalgamated and you pay the greater amount of either a minimum ticket value or a % of face value. If one order is executed over
two trading days, then two commission charges are payable.
NZX Price increments
Securities listed on the NZX may only be traded in specified price
increments (see table in Appendix VI). All orders submitted to MFGA
can only be above or below the current market price in multiples of the
price increments set out below. All orders must comply with these price

Current CFD price Price increments

Note: decimal points are not accepted for order entry, except for partial cents. (For example: TEL on the NZX is quoted
as 4.34/4.35, on TraderPro it is quoted as 434/435).
Amending orders
An order may be amended during the Pre-Opening Session and the Normal Trading Session prior to it being filled. The following
fields in an order may be amended:

Cancelling orders
An order may be cancelled at any time (other than at certain times in the Pre-Opening Session see Trading hours and phases

Order status
Placing an order via TraderPro electronic trading platform is not a guarantee that the corresponding contract has been placed in
the market by MFGA. You must always refer to the Order Status window for confirmation of the status of your orders as some
orders may be rejected electronically.
There are two types of order:
> Limit and
> Contingent orders.
Limit orders
All DMA Share CFD orders placed via phone or the TraderPro electronic trading platform are set to a default timeline
of Good Till Cancelled (GTC) unless stated or adjusted otherwise to Good For Day (GFD).
> Good for Day orders remain current only during the day on which they are made. All orders not filled by the time the market
closes will be deleted automatically.
> GTC orders remain in the market until filled or manually cancelled by the broker or client.
> GTC orders are live and active during the pre- and post-auction matches.
> GFD orders are purged by the LSE.
Note: LSE will delete all outstanding GTC orders on any security at 7:00pm AEST the business night before the security
goes ex-dividend. Contingent orders are the exception to this rule as contingent orders do not enter LSE until triggered.
Any limit order created and amended after 5:00pm will have the status of AUTHORISING. It will be dated the following trading day
and released to the LSE at 7:50am on that day.
Contingent orders
Contingent orders are orders that you can create which will be placed in the market when specific market conditions are met. For
example, if you are long a CFD you can create a contingent order to sell when a security falls to a certain price. This is known as a
Stop Loss order, and may be used to help manage your DMA Share CFD positions. You must be aware, however, that contingent orders
are not guaranteed. If the underlying security price moves suddenly, your order may not be filled, or may filled at a price different to
that specified by you, and you may suffer losses as a result.

platform for further details.
