Can Orders be placed at any time?
Yes. However, investors should note that CFD Orders placed outside ASX market hours are unlikely to be accepted until normal trading commences or until the counterparty is able to purchase or sell the corresponding security on the ASX; therefore the order will remain queued until that time. Standard market hours for the ASX are 10:05am to 4:05pm on business days.
Yes. Orders can be placed on the Trading Platform after market hours in order to participate in the next market opening auction. However, orders to enter into short position can only be placed as “day only”; meaning to participate in the opening auction you must place the sell order before market on that day. Standard market hours for the ASX are 10:00am to 4:11pm on business days although these may change. All Orders placed are subject to acceptance by Macquarie at its sole discretion. Investors should note that Orders placed outside ASX market hours are unlikely to be accepted by Macquarie until normal trading commences or Macquarie is otherwise able to purchase or sell the underlying shares on the ASX and Orders will remain queued until that time.
