PrivateInvestor:  

Let me correct what I typed.  I believe the "Change" refers to the difference between the last transacted price
and the PREVIOUS CLOSING PRICE. 


I think it is good that you are preparing early for your trading.  I am also in the learning process.   
SGX, SJ, and broker websites do carry some basic info that are helpful to trading.

There's really no shortcut to successful stock market investing/trading.

All must learn the normal way... ie. by experience itself.

This is because the underlying force driving the stock market is opinion. (When one is greedy, one's opinion is bullish. When one is fearful, one is bearish).


Anyway what's life for if not to gain experience?... hehehe... Smiley

Perhaps... when one is greedy, one's opinion is irrational and when one is fearful, one's opinion is irrational too.

Where did you get the quote from?  I think:       

"last" stands for "last done price", meaning the last transaction done was $1.65. 
zero "change" means there hasn't been any transaction done (vol traded) that is higher or lower than $1.65, since $1.65 was the last price.       


If there hasn't been any transaction done today at all (vol = 0) then $1.65 would be the last price from whichever day it was last transacted (eg yesterday, the day before, etc) .  

If the last price done is S$1.65, usually you can sell/buy not more than 10 cents difference from the last done price.

Hopefully, I got it right and didn't confuse you more.

Last Change Bid Vol Bid Ask Ask Vol High Low Volume Lot Tools
1.650 0.000 5,000 1.620 1.730 5,000 0.000 0.000 0 1,000


Need some advice on the above data.

It is possible to have 0 change for the day? If the bid price (1.620) and the ask price (1.730) does not meet, it been be 0 change for the day and Vol = 0?

What does the Last change of 1.650 mean? Yesterday price? That will be today price is also 1.650?
