Order Types: Different order types exist, including Limit Orders (specifying maximum buy/minimum sell price) and Minimum Quantity Orders (requiring a specific minimum quantity to be filled immediately).

Trade Amendment: Procedures exist for amending account codes, while specific restrictions apply to foreign and local account codes.
Aggregation of Client Orders: Rules cover aggregating client orders while ensuring compliance with specific rules.
Done-Through Transaction: Transactions are executed at a price outside the market spread by one TP using another TP
Trading Thresholds: Static and Dynamic Thresholds (trading band) limits the range in which a security can be traded
