6. Units per lot and odd lot

The number of A-share transactions has the following regulations:

(1) All A-shares are 100 shares per lot

(2) The buy order must be a whole lot order

(3) When only selling, odd lots can be sold. But investors must sell all odd shares of the A shares;

(4) The odd lot sell order will be matched with the complete unit order on the same trading platform and bid at the same price. Therefore, odd lots may appear in the final transaction of the customer's buy instruction.

The current price limit of the Shanghai Stock Exchange/Shenzhen Stock Exchange is generally not more than ±10% of the closing price of the previous day (the price limit of A-shares (ie ST stocks and *ST stocks) included in the risk warning board is ±5%). Orders that exceed the price limit will be rejected by the Shanghai Stock Exchange/Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

       Or if there is no current purchase price, use the latest transaction price;

       Or if there is no current buying price and the latest transaction price, the closing price of the previous day will be used.
