Buy orders with input prices lower than the current best bid (or last traded price in the absence of current best bid, or previous closing price in the absence of both current best bid and last traded price) beyond a prescribed percentage will be rejected by the Exchange. HKEx has set the dynamic price checking at 3% during the initial phase and may be adjusted from time to time subject to market conditions.
During Opening Call Auction, the current bid (or previous closing price in the absence of the current bid) will be used for checking. During Closing Call Auction, the current bid (or last traded price in the absence of the current bid) will be used for checking. Dynamic price checking will be applied throughout the trading day, from the 5-minute input period before the start of Opening Call Auction until market close.

Please note that there is a 30% price limit if you are placing a buy (sell) order that is higher (lower) than the current ask (bid) price. The 30% threshold is based on the current ask for buys and bid for sells orders. If a current bid or ask is not available then the most recent quote is used to calculate the 30% limit.
Example: Current bid price $63.35, sell order at $33.00 will be rejected (more than 30%).
As there is no minimum or maximum bid size check, do exercise cautious during your order submission. If you have entered a higher buying price or a lower selling price than the opening/prevailing price, your order will be executed based on the prevailing market conditions. You must always check your UTRADE order book for the latest order status.
