What is the time-in-force and pre-market and post-market

For the order period, investors can choose the order validity period Time-in-force when placing an order. Choices include Day and Good-Till-Cancel.

1. Day

The order is valid until the day of closing, and unfilled orders will be cancelled after closing (04:00 SGT/05:00 SGT).

1.1 Short selling is only available for day orders.

2. Good-Till-Cancel

2.1 The order will continue to be effective until the order is fully executed, cancelled or the order fails. Investors can place a pending order at an ideal price in advance.

The maximum order period is maintained at 90 natural days and order will be automatically cancelled after the deadline.

3. Pre-market and post-market
