It gets a higher matching priority than an atauction limit order. Clients are required to cancel unfilled orders at the continuous trading session which starts at 09:30 (HKT). The order input period for At-Auction orders is 9:00a.m. - 9:20 a.m. Any At-Auction order input during order matching period (9:20a.m. - 9:28a.m.) and blocking period (9:28a.m. - 9:30a.m.) will be subject to rejection. At-Auction order input after 4:30pm will be treated as orders of next pre-open session unless it was cancelled by investor and broker at their own discretion. Indicative Equilibrium Price (IEP) The IEP is the price at which the maximum number of shares can be traded if matching occurs at that time with the final IEP (if any) of each security determined at 09:20 HKT 27
