Booked orders refer to the total monetary value of every written client order. It comprises orders involving goods that have already been delivered for sale and have been received up to the time of computation in the relevant financial year, as shown within a booked order statement.

Nearly every exchange uses order databases for displaying the requests for various resources, including shares, bonds, dollars, as well as electronic money like Bitcoin. These requests may come in handwritten or digital format. Despite the fact that they often provide identical knowledge, their configuration can vary based on the source of the data. The up and down, as well as the sides of the monitor, may display transactions and purchase information. 

The order ledger is flexible since it is continuously revised across the course of the day. The perpetual book is the name given to it by platforms like Nasdaq. Trades that solely call for implementation at the marketplace at either time are kept segregated. 

Types of booked orders 

The order book keeps track of all submitted orders up until they are delivered. Four various order types which would be reported as entries in a transaction book are available to investors. They consist of the market, limitation, cease-loss, and delayed stop orders. 

  • Market orders are ones that are promptly executed at the moment’s price for the purchase or trade of an investment on the trading platform. 
  • Orders with limitations enable traders to place orders solely at that cost or one that is either greater or lesser than the maximum price they have specified. 
  • Stop-loss purchase: Whenever the security being traded loses money, stop-loss orders serve to mitigate a shareholder’s risk by causing an instant purchase or sale. 
  • Putting a limit order at an amount of money or proportion greater or lesser than the highest or lowest previous low or high is known to be a “trailing stopping order.”  

Example of booked orders 

An instance of an order book includes NASDAQ TotalView. It makes the assertion to be the finest publication on the market in the nation’s capital, if not around the globe. For short-term traders, seasoned investors, and economists, TotalView is an essential repository of knowledge. For stocks listed on NASDAQ, NYSE and NYSE American, the system provides information in real-time. 

For many assets, TotalView additionally supplies past trading activity and values. To evaluate these investments technically, TotalView’s Gross Transaction Inequality Index may be used. In light of all of this data, investors can decide whether to purchase or offer shares.

    An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). Listing on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units which may be traded at prices above or below its NAV or may be suspended or delisted. Investors may buy or sell the Units on SGX-ST when it is listed. Investors cannot create or redeem Units directly with PCM and have no rights to request PCM to redeem or purchase their Units.

Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

    Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.
