3.Reference price of immediately executable price range

For all products, the reference price for the immediately executable price range shall be the middle price of the last best bid and offer prices (including the last contract price) or, when OSE deems it necessary, a price determined by OSE.

5. Implied-out function

Implied-out function shall be introduced for TOPIX Options. The implied-out function generates a bid and offer for the issue involved in the strategy trade from a bid or offer based on a certain strategy and is currently introduced only for Options on JGB Futures.

6.Restriction on Give-Up

Contract value below JPY 1 may be generated due to the reduction of the tick size in J-NET trading to 0.0001. Due to this, OSE will restrict Give-Ups involving splitting the original contract quantity that result in non-integer contract value.

7. Contract prices for strategy trade component issues

Contract prices for strategy trade component issues may fall above or below the price limit range of each issue.

8. Central contract month for New Products

The central contract month for TSE Mothers Futures and FTSE China 50 Index Futures shall be the nearest contract month. The central contract month is used to determine the trigger level for a temporarily trading halt (Circuit Breaker Rule: SCB).
※TAIEX Futures are not subject to SCB.

9. Order size limits

As one of the measures to enhance market supervision on erroneous orders, our trading system rejects orders that exceed the quantity specified by OSE (hereinafter “order size limits“). The order size limits for existing and new products after the launch date are shown in Appendix 2.

10. Temporary revisions to the price limit range

The price limit range for futures and options contracts based on a Japanese securities index will be temporarily revised in cases where the ratio of the price limit range at the second expansion of the price limits to the reference price for price limits is beyond 20% or under 12% for two straight days or in others cases where OSE deems it necessary. This handling will also apply to the TSE Mothers Index.
