Beware low market volumes

I think you will need to pay a small amount of fee to use the force key.

There is a Force Key available within the reach of your respective broker or TR, they can do wonder.

Broking firm pop up menu while u made a deal within sec for confirmation, thats best. Others need to go to order book to confirm, is a bit late. Go to email to see the confirmation msg, worst loh. Dissastrous, on line hanged after each transaction.

Get ready on free  STEL SMS to your TR  on screen while u make possible trading, just in case on line system hanged. AK had done that loh.

ha ha, if u are a broker, u would know the reason. Just be careful as what AK posted earlier.

Mths ago, a Japan Institution's fund manager made a wrong entry n causing the coy to vomit blood. If u observe the paper report.

Can key so many bids away meh ??

 

D joker, fr finance institution, could be axed liao. AK hv posted d consequences in other thread earlier. Ds joker could hv been mis-charged betwn Capital Land n Capitalmall, under d character searh engine loh. Then during closed, Capland around $3 n Capmall 1.61. D moral of the story is, be careful, esp u want to take changes during d pre-closed period, esp betwn 1705-1706, where no cancellation of order is allowed, if u realised u hv made an error's order. Ds morning STI perfomred not bad as compared to d penultimate trading day on 2008. Cheers.

That's a $1.30 loss per share i.e. roughly $2.6m loss. Wonder who made such a cockup. Then again, if that trader had bought calls for STI beforehand - he might still be in profit.

 

No one can be really sure.

As most of coys will table their 08FY report cards in next  Jan. Hence, not much window dressing in Jan liao. Expect most of the report cards, on most subjects, would see red. Stock px definitely would be affected. If d component stocks kena telok telok, then STI would be pressurised.

Generally, economists or even people on the street are pessimistic on 2009 economy. As more n more bad news, ie retrenchment, expected bad coy results or even closing down etc.

PS. Dun use STI yesterday gain as a cheong's yalkstick, as it was attributed to a suspected error trade in last few mins. D loses could be in millions, pity loh.

91.1m is really low. I was looking at the invest section in Sunday Times and one of those that they interviewed said that during the peak, the market volume was 8 to 9 billion so I guess you can make a rough gauge of what is low.

Oops, forgot to refresh my SGX screen -- so it seems okay.  

 

Sorri, just check my own trading screen and notice vol for ST index not clear.

Can try this one:

moneytalk.sg:  Think SGX not so real time anymore.  Welcome correction/better recommendation from anybody.
