KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia has enhanced order types and validity trading features to enable investors to manage orders as well as refine trading and risk management strategies with greater flexibility. Chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tajuddin Atan said the introduction of new and enhanced trading features is aligned to the growing sophistication of market participants. As Bursa Malaysia becomes one of the leading centers for trading in the region, the exchange will continue to extract further value from its trading engine to broaden trading opportunities for market participants, he added. The enhanced feature, on the other hand, includes Stop Market and Stop Limit which allows investors to submit these order types with pairing of Day, Good-Till-Date or Good-Till-Cancel validity. These enhancements also allow Stop Orders to be submitted during Pre-Opening and Pre-Closing phases.
