You place the order and it goes to the dealers who do the transactions; its not direct to market so there is a bit of delay in terms of execution. This can be a problem with really volatile counters as sometimes orders only partially matched or not at all.

Share margin financing for CIMB allows you 2x the cash you pledge or 2.5x the shares. Even then it depends on what counter. For larger lines, customer would have to specify if margin is used for single counter or basket of counters; blue-chip or otherwise as this affects the terms and subsequently the limit. Usually there is a quantity or price limit for counters which is supplied to customer.

interest kicks in at T+5 and interest rate iirc is BLR + 0.75
