In the market, orders are matched using the multiple price method. Two types of orders may be placed: limit orders and market orders.
Limit orders, are placed by specifying rate and order amount.
Market orders, are placed by specifying order amount but without specifying the rate. A market order may match either partially or fully with the standing orders in the system. The unexecuted portion of the market order shall be cancelled automatically.
The above order types can be given to include the specific conditions defined below:
a) Immediate or Cancel Order: It is the condition that as soon as the order is entered, it matches with the outstanding counter-orders, and its non-executed part is automatically cancelled.
b) Fill or Kill: This order type is subject to the condition of execution in full. If this condition is not met as the order is entered, the order is cancelled.
Unmatched orders and unexecuted parts of matched orders transmitted to the market can be changed.
While the change in the order’s interest rate, increase in nominal value and changes regarding the portfolio, fund, public fund and customer code lead to the loss of time priority, the reduction of nominal amount and change in representative reference do not give rise to the loss of time priority.
No counterparty information is given to the members whose orders are executed.
The matching of two counter orders in the market is enabled through giving priority to the highest rate in purchase and the lowest rate in sale. If orders have the same rate, time priority is applied.
In addition to matching of orders with equal rates, two counter orders are matched when a sell order with a lower rate than the rate of the existing buy order is received, or when a buy order with a higher rate than the rate of the sell order is received. Where rate equality does not exist, the rate of the order entered in the system earlier is the rate of the trade.
