Stock Paper Trading Rules

1. Paper trading is available for three markets: the US, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. Access Papertrade to automatically open virtual accounts for these markets, starting with an initial balance of US$1 million, RM1 million, or HK$1 million.

 

2. In paper trading, the types of products you can trade vary by market. The US market allows trading in stocks, stock options, and index options. Only stock trading is available in the Malaysia market. The Hong Kong market offers stocks, warrants, CBBCs, and other securities listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

 

3. The trading hours for each market are as follows:

● United States from 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM (Eastern Time)

● Malaysia from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM (Malaysia Time)

5. Paper trading adopts the rules of order matching. The highest bid (best bid) and the lowest ask (best ask) are the best prices for matching. A buy order at a price higher than the best bid or a sell order at a price lower than the best ask satisfies the matching conditions and will be automatically queued for execution.

 

6. The paper trading system is not necessarily consistent with the real stock market. In case of any inconsistency, data in the paper trading system shall prevail.

 

7. If you hold stocks of a listed company that is delisted for any reason, you may no longer trade the stocks in the following trading days, and the system will return the virtual funds to your virtual account at the last closing price.

 

8. Fees in the paper trading system are charged by reference to the real market. If there is a slight inconsistency, fees in the paper trading system shall prevail.
