New Trading System (quick guide) Market Phases (Group State): The PSE now formally introduces the new trading workstation which is known as the PAM (Poste D Access Aux Marche). Following is an overview of the changes: Market Phase A. Market Phases Pre-Opening (9:00am - 9:15am) same as the current pre-open, brokers can enter, modify, or cancel orders but no matching occurs. Pre-Open No Cancel (9:15am - 9:30am) part of the Pre-Open Period and is also called the No Cancellation Period; any modification or cancellation done by the TPs will be rejected by the system. Continuous Trading (9:30am 11:57am) a period where orders are immediately matched. Pre-Closing (11:57am-11:59am) - a period used by the system to compute for the Closing Price of each security, based on the posted orders. It is exactly the same as the Pre-Open where matching is not allowed but orders can be posted, cancelled and modified. Pre-Close No Cancel (11:59am -12:00nn) - the last 1-minute of the Pre- Close Period that is similar to the No Cancellation Period of the Pre-Open. Trading-at-Last (TAL) (12:00nn 12:10pm) - this is the same as Run-Off Period where users can only enter orders at the Closing Price. B. Open and Close Price Determination The Open Price will be determined using the following rules: price with the maximum number of shares matched; price with the minimum number of shares unmatched; highest (lowest) price if the market pressure is on the buying (selling) side; price closest to the Reference Price; and Reference Price. The computation of the Close Price will be the same with the computation of the Open Price. In computing the Open Price, the reference price to be used is the previous day s Closing Price, while the reference price for the Close Price computation is the Last Traded Price (LTP) of the Continuous Trading. C. Order Types NTS offers a wide array of Order Types to be introduced by the Exchange one at a time. To manage the transition, only Limit Orders will be accepted by the system upon launching. A Limit Order is an order entered with a specified price and volume.
