Audit Events table

The Audit Events table displays audit event messages that are generated by the trading
engines audit event sub-system. This provides an audit trail of specific events that occur in
the trading system during trading day. Messages are generated so that users have a record
that an event has occurred.
Audit event messages are generated by the Trading Engine (TE) for various manual and
automatic events (e.g. user logon, Market Maker obligation breach). Each audit event has a
specific type, and these types are collected into groups.
Each audit event type has parameters that control user visibility and how the message is
displayed. These parameters may be configured for each audit event type to control:
Which users see an audit event message, by specifying an access level for each message
type;
How a particular audit event type is displayed.
To open the Audit Events table:

Entering, amending and cancelling orders

The Trader Workstation allows traders to enter an order to buy or sell a specified security
subject to certain conditions such as price, quantity etc. The orders entered are placed in a
queue for matching according to the rules for session in which they are entered.
Traders can use the Trader Workstation to enter the following types of orders:
5.1
Buy orders
Sell orders
Crossing orders
For instructions regarding how to enter a crossing order, refer to Entering a crossing order.
The Trader workstation also allows traders to manipulate their orders, such as amending
and/or cancelling orders.
Order priority, visibility and Hidden Quantities

Priority of orders
The order matching process follows the price and time priority, which means that bid and offer
orders will match at the best price.
Orders that enter the system are sorted into a price-time priority queue. Buy orders are sorted
with the highest price first, then within the same price group they are ordered by time of
entry, earliest order first. Sell orders are sorted with the lowest price first, and then within the
same price group they are ordered by time of entry with the earliest order first.
Order visibility
During the day, an original order and all of its subsequent amendments, are visible to users
who have access to view that order. On subsequent days, if the order is a GoodTillDate/Time
or GoodTillCancelled order, and it is still active, then the order is re-loaded into the Trading
System and is visible to users.
Hidden quantities
The Trade Workstation does not support placing Hidden Orders (that is, orders that have
hidden quantities).

Below are some hints and rules which are of assistance for entering an order. All the rules are
configurable, what stated below are examples as in May 2008.
5.3
1.
The trading account entered in the Account field must be a valid trading account to the
trader for whom the order is entered. Trading account information can be accessed from
the Trading Account table. The viewable records contained in the Trading Account table
are restricted to the users role. Use the Filter and Copy function embedded in the Trading
Account table to fill in the Account field in the Order Entry dialog. Refer to section 4.15
Trading Accounts table for the details. To see the client name associated with the entered
trading account, hover the mouse over the Account filed, the tooltip will show the client
name.
2.
To view the issuers name associated with the selected security, hover the mouse over
the Security field, the tooltip will show the issuers name.
3.
Price limit rule. The price of an order is validated against the trading rules employed by
the system. The price limit rules may vary from board to board, instrument to instrument,
and even security to security. Depending on the database setting, the price limit rule can
have closed range checking or open range checking. Upon the current database setting
which adopts open range checking, the system wide default rule enforces a bid price
cannot be greater than 105% of the reference price of the security and an offer price
cannot be less than 95% of the reference price of the security. The price range
information is displayed in the Price Limits field in the order entry dialog.
4.
Maximum value rule. The total value of an order cannot exceed 20000000.00 by default..
Amending an order
The Trader Workstation allows traders to amend orders that have open status (not matched or
partially matched), i.e. alter the details of the unfilled part of current open orders. Matched or
withdrawn orders cannot be amended.
Traders can amend their own orders, Trade Managers can amend any orders entered by their
own Firm and the Exchange Supervisor can amend any order in the system.

CONFIDENTIAL
118
When an order is amended, the change is given as a change to the existing order number, i.e.
the system does not allocate a new number for the amended order.
The Orders window in the Trader Workstation shows the current state of orders, including any
updates that have been made to orders.
5.3.1
Impact of order amendment on the orders priority

The general rules for the order amendment are:
Change (increase or decrease) to the price - the order to lose its previous time and price
priority, and will be queued according to the new price/time priority.
Change to both the price and quantity -The order will be treated as a new order
Change to quantity of the order by reducing the quantity - the order will retain its original
position in the order-matching priority queue.
When the quantity of the order is amended by increasing the quantity, the order will be
treated like a new order, i.e. it will lose its original position and get queue in price/time
priority.
5.3.2
How to amend an order

To amend an order:
1.
Open the Orders table from the Table menu.
2.
Select the order that is to be amended.
3.
Right-click on the order that is to be amended and select Amend from the menu.
The Amend Order Amend Trade dialogue box is displayed. Attributes of an order that are
not allowed to be amended are disabled.
4.
5.4
Amend order details and click the
button.
Amending order priority

Orders priority can be changed manually by Market Controller. By doing that overrides the
default time sequence priority algorithm. For example, enter two buy orders, Order1 and
Order2, sequentially, both buy 100 ALLIANCE at price $25. By default, when there is a sell
order that conforms the matching algorithm, Order1 will be filled first rather than Order2
because Order1 is entered into the system first. But if Order2s priority is amended and has
been moved up, when there is a sell order that conforms the matching algorithm of these two
by orders, Order2 will be matched rather than Order1.
Open the Order Book By Order table, right click the order that you expect to change its
priority, a pop-up menu will be displayed.

CONFIDENTIAL
119
Figure 108 Order Book By Order table
Priority Bottom
If clicked, the order is priority is moved down to the bottom,

which means it has lowest matching priority.
Priority Tick Down
5.4.1
If clicked, the order is priority is moved down one step
Priority Tick Up
If clicked, the order is priority is moved up one step
Priority Top
If clicked, the order is priority is moved up to the top, which

means it has highest matching priority.
On-Market priority (intentional) crossing

There are two types of on-market crossing:
Non-Priority (Non-Intentional) Crossing: a pre-existing order is crossed unintentionally, and
Priority (Intentional) Crossing: a pre-existing order does not exist or if one exists does not
form part of the crossing. This is system enforced.
The general rules for the on-market priority crossing are:
The price movement limit, price step limit and volume limits that apply to non-crossing
orders also apply to crossing orders
