Self-Match Prevention (SMP)

special announcement on the launch of SMP service [updated at 9am on 21 july 2024]: 

Following the smooth completion of system upgrade for the enhanced SMP service on 20 July 2024 (Saturday), Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited is pleased to announce that HKATS has been successfully upgraded in preparation for the launch of ID-based SMP service.

The ID-based SMP service in the derivatives market is open for applications from 22 July 2024 (Monday). This page provides a centralized point of information for market participants (i.e. EPs and/or their clients) about the implementation details of SMP.

 

Overview 

Self-Match Prevention (“SMP”) is a free and optional service for market participants (i.e. exchange participants and/or their clients) to avoid inadvertent self-trades at exchange level.  SMP was available in derivatives market since 2019 (“HKATS Username- based SMP”).  Market participants (i.e. exchange participants and/or their clients) who enable HKATS Username-based SMP for specific HKATS Username(s), orders from such HKATS Username(s) will not be matched with other orders within the same HKATS Customer Code by cancelling the aggressive orders.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (“HKEX”) plans to enhance the SMP service and will provide a new SMP model (“ID-based SMP”) in the derivatives market. Key features of the new model include, i) introduction of SMP ID as identifier for triggering SMP; ii) cancel aggressive and cancel passive as the order cancellation methods; iii) multi-broker model
