What is Dynamic Price Limit ?

Bursa Malaysia Securities has an additional measure to prevent sudden fluctuations in price movement due to trade aberration. This security measure, known as Dynamic Price Limits or Dynamic Limits, will apply to all securities except new listings.

The dynamic price limit is designed to mitigate the impact of sudden price fluctuations and reduce the risk of market manipulation. It is triggered when a stock's price moves up or down by a certain percentage within a short period.

Dynamic Price Limits only apply to orders in Normal Market and are not applicable for orders in Odd Lot, Buying-in, and DBT markets. They are not applicable during pre-open, pre-close, and trading at the last phase. They are also not applicable during trading halt and Circuit Breaker Halt periods.

If a stock's price rises or falls by more than 8% for stocks MYR1.00 and above;and MYR0.08 for stocks below MYR1.00, trading in that stock is suspended for the remainder of the day.

If the Dynamic Price Limits of a security are triggered and a client requests to trade the respective securities, we will send your request to the Exchange for temporary upliftment.

The upliftment period for the Dynamic Price Limits mechanism, upon approval by Bursa Malaysia, is ten (10) minutes.
