Hope all sifu here can teach me while adding some informative thing into this thread for future "search" references :-)


1) What the meaning of REF represent by 5.450? Is it the current price at that time?

2) High and Low means the share for today most high and low price?

3) Last and Change means?

4) Volume represent the current amount of people buying the shares?


Cheers :-)

1) REF is reference price or the closing price of the counter in the last trading day.

2) Yes, HIGH is the highest price for the share for that day and LOW is the opposite.

3) LAST is the last done price at the current moment. And CHANGE is the difference between the last done price at the reference price.

4) VOLUME represents the amount of LOTs already traded for the day. All counters start at VOLUME of 0 and as more people buy and sell, it goes up.

I think what you mean by pick up is buying right??

I experience this as well when I first started using OSK. Normally the brokers will ask you to pick up meaning to actually pay for the share. Because if you intend to sell it before T + 3, they won't pick it up and they will ask you for a sell price to be queued. If you intend to pick it up or buy it and hold it beyond T + 3, you can tell them upfront to pick it up when the transaction is done. This means they won't ask you about it before T + 3 as they know you already intent to pick it up and will settle the amount using your trust account or whatever ways you use to pay them.

Thank you very much...Want to ask , I'm using osk188 online trading , if i sell stock , how is the way i received money ? (So far , i just buy stock but haven't sell before)

It will be credited according to what you choose. I believe under the application form, you can choose either to bank into your bank account or your trust account or issued a cheque.

Normally I ask them to automatically put back into my trust account so I can use it again. Just tell your broker how you want it done. For online trades, I'm not entirely sure how they will handle it. Best you call their help line for that.

Let say i want they automatically put back into my trust account . For example , today i sell my stock , so when they will put the money into my trust account ? By today or T+3 ?

my past experience is, if you sell today, your money will be put back to your trust account only after 3 days.

more question here..

what is x 100 shares when u're buying?

example the share price is 1.20
if u key in 10 x 100 shares = 1000 shares means?

i think i got it..

1000 shares of 1.20 = rm 1200

hehe.. sorry for the trouble..

how and where to see the past prices of the shares bcause i want to see the movement of the share prices. can anyone help me? I'm still in the learning process

If I buy a stock at rm 1 price, and I want it to auto sell when it reach rm 1.10, can I do it automatically on the sell button stating sell at rm 1.10?

It depends on online portal you are using. Some have order feature that 'good until xx date' one, then yes, you can. Your order of 1.10 will automatically being key in into the trading system everyday to Q.

umm I'm using HLEbroking.. Don't see any order feature except it said "valid until 5pm"..

But there's option 5 options of sell price (last best, best sell, 2nd best etc. but you can key in any price you want)

I guess it's auto right? hmmm

And two more thing..

What is short selling? Is it that I buy a share at 1pm, then when it rise/drop like in 1 or 2 hours I sell it, is this call short selling? oh dear am i asking a dumb question.. lol...

And is there a limit of shares I can buy? Cause I got an exceed error, I'm limited by the shares (but not my trading limit). Is there a formula to this?

1 lot is equivalent to how many shares?? 100 or 1000, just curious. What is the minimum we can buy

1 lot = 100 shares. minimum is 1 lot.

it used to be 1 lot=1000 shares, am i right?

Not available until next release of their software. Meantime, my remisier says you can tell them, and they will key in the order everyday for you or you do that yourself.

Not short selling, but intraday trading, ie, buy/sell on same day.

By default, the limit is up to twice the amount you have in the SharesDirect Current Account.

Hmm.. I realize something..

So the share I buy today, won't be keep until I sell it? Cause last friday I buy a share, and today the share is all gone and my trading limit is back to where I started.. So I need to re-buy it everyday?

I'm using HLE fyi..

what's the differences btwn options and call warrants? From what i've read both are the rights not obligation to buy shares at certain price and at certain time. Can anybody help?

From my understanding, there are put and call warrants. Both are options.
So I think you can say call warrants are a subset of options.
