18. Risk Control Questions
18A. Q: What is the difference between setting trading limits per currency and setting them for all currencies?
A: When configuring per-currency limits, you must select the corresponding currency and restrict use to the corresponding market. Configuring an all-currency limit applies the trading limit across different markets; if an all-currency limit is set, per-currency trading limits cannot be configured.
Displayed limits will be converted to HKD.
18B. Q: If both global limits and client limits exist, how are they evaluated?
A: Limit precedence is: client limits > global limits; security limits > global limits; trader limits > global limits.
For example: the global configuration sets the "Customer buy-rejection limit" to > 500,000 HKD. User A has configured a "Customer buy-rejection limit" of > 400,000 HKD (reject).If User A places a buy order for 410,000, the configured limit is hit and the order will be rejected outright. If User B places a buy order for 410,000, the global configuration is evaluated; since the global limit is not breached, the order will be allowed.
18C. Q: A client's cash account balance is positive and the client has not borrowed from the broker; why is the financing quota being consumed?
A: The "Used financing quota" under Risk Control Management > Customer Financing includes cash that has been frozen and is not available for use.
18D. Q: The subaccount’s total assets are not negative; why is the "Risk Control Status" shown as "Danger"?
A: If the master account's "Risk Control Status" is "Danger", the subaccount will follow the master account and its "Risk Control Status" will be "Danger".
18E. Q: In Haircut Management, will the index in "Index Haircut Management" automatically update the information in the constituent stock list?
A: "Index Haircut Management" will automatically update information such as constituent stock weights and share quantities.
18F. Q: In "Haircut Management", can cash accounts and margin accounts independently use different haircut percentages for calculations?
