In some instances, the Exchange took action to temporarily halt trading in affected instruments, cancel transactions or restate closing prices related to such order flow.
In both cases the Exchange intervened and cancelled automatic trades so that prices, or other users, were not materially impacted. As a result, the Exchange took disciplinary action in the form of private Warning Notices against the member firms involved. Upon reaching out to market participants to discuss pre-trade controls, some of the following themes were observed:. The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of member firms maintaining appropriate pre-trade controls in order to prevent the submission of erroneous orders into the trading system which have the potential to cause short-term market dislocation, particularly in relation to the Exchange order book.
Erroneous orders can have a significant impact on trading across single and multiple instruments and erroneous program trades also known as basket orders have a particularly high potential to cause trading disruption, primarily due to the nature of their order entry and execution. Maximum order value limits may also prove ineffective where the overall basket consideration, although potentially large enough to cause a significant market impact, remains below an internally approved limit.
This is more likely during derivative expiry periods, when larger basket orders and trading volumes are expected.
The Exchange has observed instances where a combination of these factors has caused short-term price disruption across multiple instruments. Member firms should carefully consider effective technical and manual mechanisms including pre-trade front office intervention to potentially identify and prevent erroneous duplicate orders being released to the Exchange. Examples of sophisticated controls as observed by the FCA included:.
It should be noted that, whilst the above mentioned controls can be highly effective, they require considered parameters and thresholds to be maintained in order for them to function correctly. The aim of the reviews is to identify the risks to the Exchange of firms whose controls are not of a sufficiently high standard to prevent disruption to orderly trading. The Exchange recently took disciplinary action against a member firm for providing inaccurate information in a systems and controls questionnaire.
It is important for the Exchange to ensure that its member firm records remain up-to-date so that it has access to the correct information in the event of queries and problems. Failure of a member firm to notify the Exchange in such circumstances may result in a breach of this rule by the member firm.
Member firms wishing to change their membership profile have a notification requirement to the Exchange. The Exchange would expect notification of, at a minimum, the following profile changes:. Advance notification enables the Exchange to manage the associated change in conjunction with the member firm, third party suppliers, central counterparties and central securities depositories.
The Exchange also has a responsibility to ensure that sufficient notice is given to other member firms, where appropriate, by publishing a Member Firm Information Sheet. A member firm can update its profile by emailing the Membership Team at membership lseg.
For queries or matters which require direct assistance, please contact Membership on 7 The Exchange also wishes to reiterate the importance of member firms informing it of any changes to their compliance staff and contact details. Exchange Rule Correct information is essential to enable the Exchange to contact firms in relation to trading issues and also in relation to other matters such as the completion of MCOP systems and controls questionnaires.
Member firms are therefore requested to ensure that they have provided the Exchange with up-to-date compliance contact details. Our regions Our regions. News and insights News and insights.

London Stock Exchange Guidance. Market Matters. Passive orders and appropriate limit prices This article is to remind member firms of their responsibilities under London Stock Exchange Rule and associated guidance, particularly with respect to the appropriateness of passive limit order prices being placed onto our markets.
Upon reaching out to market participants to discuss pre-trade controls, some of the following themes were observed: upon order entry, few firms utilised controls hard or soft or live alerting on passive order prices placed at extreme levels versus the current market price; scenarios where live monitoring failed to identify indicative or realised auction uncrossing prices far away from theoretical fair value; and some views that order prices were valid at any price level as long as they were passive.
Sweat Equity Shares: If as an employee of the company, you have made a significant contribution, the company can reward you by issuing sweat equity shares. Voting And Non-Voting Shares: Although the majority of shares carry voting rights, the company can make an exception and issue differential or zero voting rights to shareholders. Classification Of Equity Shares On The Basis Of Returns On the basis of returns, here is a look at the types of shares: Dividend Shares: A company can choose to pay dividends in the form of issuing new shares, on a pro-rata basis.
Growth Shares: These types of shares are associated with companies that have extraordinary growth rates. While such companies might not provide dividends, the value of their stocks increase rapidly, thereby providing capital gains to investors. Value Shares: These types of shares are traded in stock markets at prices lower than their intrinsic value.
Investors can expect the prices to appreciate over a period of time, thus providing them with a better share price. Preference Shares Meaning These are among the next types of shares issued by a company. Non-cumulative preference shares don't provide for receiving outstanding dividends benefits. This is over and above the receipt of dividends. Non-participating preference shares carry no such benefits, apart from the regular receipt of dividends.
These types of shares are sans any maturity date. Irredeemable preference shares, on the other hand, have no such conditions. Conclusion Thus, there are two types of shares: equity shares and preferential shares. Please enter valid email. Verify your OTP. Enter valid OTP. Enter valid mobile No. Please enter valid Email.
