Rejected: Controlled Risk stop must be placed in increments


Guest j3r

Question

I was trying to place an limit order and got this message.

image.png.e98e083604440ddcce1ad68c5cadc1f7.png

Can someone explain to me what it means?

I am also on how to stop is calculated. It is stated at 5.5G, which ended up with SD$55000 that caused the control risk stop of $SGD12000.

What does the G mean?

What does it related to the stop distance of 5%? It appears that 5.5 is the minimum.

How does it work if i want to buy 10000 of shares at buy price of 1.11? 

Do i have to use multiple limit orders?

Where can i find more information on maximum risk control of a particular stock?

Thanks in advanced!

You can have your first size of S$12,000 5% away and then each additional side over this needs to be a further 2 points away. So if you had say 15k, you can have 12k 5% away and then the remainder 3k 5%+2 points. 

You prob need to post separate LO cos you need different stop levels.

Thanks PandaFace.

Can you elaborate more on the addition side with an example?

So it means i need to have two limit order?

Thanks for the link. I have gone through the materials before i posted. 

Pardon me. I'm still confused about the guaranteed stop.

If i buy 10000 shares at SGD$1.11, it will cost SGD$11100.

How was the SGD$55000 calculated?

You can work our your margin requirements manually using the the larger figure of the two calculations below:

  1. Value per point x stop distance (in points) + guaranteed stop premium
  2. Number of shares x share price x margin percentage (%)

I assume givien the above you'd be looking at a margin factor of 50% or so?

Thanks James. I'm still looking at how the controlled risk is calculated. For example the following:

It does not allow me to go above controlled risk of $SGD12k.

Correct me if i'm wrong, i believe i can't exceed the notional value of SGD$12k

    • The inclusion of trading volume as a standard indicator in charting software for the past three decades is not without reason—it offers a vital advantage. Volume analysis grants traders valuable insights into the actions of market participants at different price levels. By focusing on volume, traders can react more effectively to price movements rather than attempting to predict the future direction of prices, as is often the case with many other technical indicators. 📍Key points about volume Here are the key points regarding the volume indicator commonly plotted on the X-axis in trading: 🔹Volume Indicator: The volume indicator calculates the total number of shares or contracts traded during a specified time period. It is usually displayed as a histogram or line chart, with time represented on the X-axis. 🔹Liquidity: Volume is a critical metric as it provides insights into the liquidity of a security. Higher volume generally indicates greater market participation and liquidity, making it easier to buy or sell the asset without significantly impacting its price. 🔹Confirmation: Volume can validate the authenticity of price movements. In an uptrend, increasing volume supports the bullish move, indicating strength and conviction among buyers. Conversely, declining volume during an uptrend may signal weakness or lack of interest. The same principles apply to downtrends. 🔹Breakouts and Reversals: Volume analysis is often employed to identify breakouts and potential trend reversals. A significant increase in volume during a breakout suggests a higher probability of a sustained move, while decreasing volume near a support or resistance level might indicate a potential reversal. 🔹Divergence: Volume can unveil discrepancies between price and market sentiment. For instance, if prices are rising while volume is decreasing, it could suggest that the rally is losing momentum and a reversal may be imminent. Similarly, increasing volume during a price decline might indicate selling pressure and the potential for further downside. 🔹Confirmation of Patterns: Volume can serve to confirm or invalidate chart patterns such as triangles, head and shoulders, or double tops/bottoms. Higher volume during pattern formations enhances their reliability, while low volume can cast doubt on the significance of the pattern. 🔹Watch for High Volume: Unusual spikes in volume can indicate significant market events, such as earnings releases, news announcements, or institutional buying/selling. Abnormal volume levels can lead to increased volatility and potentially present trading opportunities. 🔹Relative Volume: Comparing current volume to historical average volume helps assess the significance of current trading activity. Higher volume relative to the average may imply increased interest, while lower volume might suggest a lack of conviction or reduced market participation.
