2800 mainly people buy as an index to HK economy.. 2823 CHina A50 or 2822 CSOP mainly focus on the TOP 50 ChiNA ENTERPRISEs.. and is an index to CHina economy.

ya, i was previously long on 2800 (current pe 11) and 2828 (current pe 7) as I prefer cash based etfs as compared to 2823(synthetic)

2823 up 30% this year already, feels risky to go in now, so looking for other ETFs to long

Buy -> 0.005
Sell -> 0.006

Means the next buyer in queue wants to buy at 0.005, while the next seller only wants to sell at 0.006. So either the buyer or seller will have to wait until someone comes in, cut the queue and push the price either up or down.

If you are a buyer and willing to pay what the seller is asking for, 0.006 in this case, you can cut the queue and get the stocks immediately.

Similarly, if you are a seller and wants to just sell your stocks ASAP instead of waiting, you can sell it at 0.005 and someone will buy it immediately.

If you don't want to pay or sell for the current asking price, then you input a "bid", which is the price you are comfortable with... then wait for someone to fill that order.

Now the next question is why ppl seem to be so hard up over this $0.001? Its because some of them buy in large amounts and it can add up to a lot sometimes (few hundred dollars)

Like now u are interesting in buying shares of magnus, u can queue to buy at 5 or buy immeditaly at 6

Same for selling, u can wait to sell at 6 or sell immediately at 5

I am really new to stock trading , there are a couple things which i am really not sure about. hope someone can enlighten here

How does the buying , selling and bidding work?

Take for example this Magnus Energy stock

Buy -> 0.005
Sell -> 0.006

if as a buyer , i would like to buy the shares , do i have to buy it at a price higher then 0.006 in order to purchase the stock? On the other side , if i as a seller would like to sell, which price do i sell it at , i read from somewhere they said as seller, u look at the buy price if u would like to sell your shares which got me really confused. Right now i training in a virtual stock market before i really commence in real trading.

in layman terms

jane, john and jim very hungry and they all want to eat chicken rice and the kopitiam got 3 chicken rice stalls

the highest amount jane will pay for a plate of chicken rice is $3, john $3.10 and jim $3.20

the 3 stalls are selling at $3.30, $3.40, $3.50 as each of them think their chicken rice is valued at that amount.

jim's $3.20 is the highest BID price currently in the chicken rice market while the stall selling at $3.30 is the lowest ASK price currently in the chicken rice market

so at any point of time, the highest BID and lowest ASK will form the bid and ask price (aka buy and sell) we see real-time. If a 4th person judy come and offer $3.25, then the BID price will change to $3.25

so jane john jim sit in front of the stalls and stare at the stall owners. nobody wants to make the first move. however, if jim tak boleh tahan and must eat something, then he'll go ahead and pay $3.30 for the chicken rice. This is known as transacted at the ASK price aka buy

It's not exactly a "buy" only since the stall did "sell" as well. Thus, we call it "transacted at the ASK price". The point here is that the buyer lost the battle, indicating that demand increased which will result in price increase (more ppl buy = price go up right?)

similarly, if the stall owner wanna faster close shop and go home, he can sell at a lower price, say at jim's BID price of $3.20. Again, it's not exactly a "sell" only since jim did "buy" as well. Thus, we call it "transacted at the BID price". (more ppl sell = price go down)

hope this clears your doubts

thx for answering my doubt. This help a lot!

There are one more things which i doubt which is the up and down price of the stock , The rule of the thumb in trading , is always to buy low and sell high.

Which in this case , take for example your stock has rise to a high lvl which u feel comfortable to sell , but there is always a risk that no one will buy the shares since it at a relatively high price , so ultimately in other words u can't really sell it at the peak period right?

there might be gian png ppl who wanna join the crowd but this ppl came in too late

 

[felixleong]

thx for clarifying my doubt even further but wait how do i know how many shares are actually in queue before it get to me? is there a way to know it?

yes you can see the market depth

example 50,000 - 0.005 vs 0.006 - 100,000


so if you key in buy 1,000 magnus at 0.005
you will be behind 50,000
and have to wait for those to be filled by others before yours get done

cheers

actually no hard and fast rule for buying or selling, really depends on your style and strategy.

if you are a value investor, you might want the price to be as low as possible, after u make a small purchase and it drops further, say 5 to 10%, you would love to buy more at a lower cost

if you are a momentum trader, you might be looking for a rush of greedy investors to keep buying up the counter, u nimble in early with a small bet to feel the market and it starts moving upwards you might feel more confident to start buying up and help support the rally. once you sense the stock is losing its momentum, you just head for the exit asap~

if you are a scalper, maybe opening just buy, watch it move up a bid and you sell to take profits already

at the end of the day, it really depends and you better know what you are doing, else you will be slaughtered by the market! lol

cheers

 

[lolita_5]

thx for the wonderful explanation! really help a lot with this scenario explanation!

u are welcome

 

[felixleong]

The "50 000" figure , it is classified under the BVol columns?

yeah, volume

anyway, anything not too sure just ask your broker to double check

asking is free of charge, just don't make any mistakes as it can be costly
