Stake AUS pre-trade filters
ausStake’s service partner in Australia, FinClear, is required to comply with the Corporations Act, ASIC’s Market Integrity Rules, and the Operating Rules of ASX and Cboe. These rules are designed to ensure markets remain fair, orderly and transparent.
As part of these obligations, FinClear continuously monitors trading activity and applies pre-trade filters (also known as vetting rules) to all customer orders.
What happens if an order triggers a pre-trade filter?
If an order raises a flag during pre-trade checks, Stake or FinClear may:
Reject or cancel the order
Contact you for more information
Manually review the order based on market conditions
If your order is rejected at placement, you’ll see a message in the app explaining why. If it’s routed for manual review and ultimately cancelled, you’ll be notified via email.
Reasons a pre-trade filter may be triggered
It’s placed too far from the current market price
The security is subject to a market-wide trading halt
The volume or price significantly deviates from recent trading history
Additional orders are entered for the same security at similar prices
3 concurrent orders on the same ticker and side (buy/sell)
The order is placed right after market open or during the closing auction
The security has been suspended, delisted or affected by a corporate action (e.g. merger, stock split)
Both ASX and Cboe can also cancel or amend transactions as part of maintaining market integrity. If this happens, any benefits or entitlements from the cancelled transaction will be lost.
