I started trading in stock market a few month ago, but, i aware that, to those who just starting trading in stock market will feel some difficult, especially, dun’t known how to trade stock at Bursa Malaysia

To trade stock at Bursa Malaysia, the first question is: How to have a trading account and second question is how to start buying shares?

Do you qualify to trade at Bursa Malaysia?
You have to be at least 18 years old. If not, wait until your 18th birthday.

Step by Step Guide:
1. Open a Central Depository System (CDS) account:
You can do this by approaching an authorized depository agent such as stockbroking company and some banks.

• provide photocopies of IC (identity card)
• fee RM10
• You will receive the account document by mail.

2. Open a trading account with stockbroker:
This will be done simultaneously when you open the CDS account.

• need to provide income statement
• fill out trading account form the stockbroker will check your credit status at CTOS (Credit Tip-off Service) and stockbrokers’ defaulters’ list – in order to qualify you and set your trading limit

What do you need to know about CDS account?
it allows you to buy and sell shares
it also allows you to trade non-equity counters such as bond and warrants
it is something like a bank account – you keep cash in bank accounts, you keep shares in CDS accounts.
you can have more than one CDS account
there are two type of CDS accounts: direct and pledge
if you have a direct account, you will receive the dividend checks and prospectus mailed to your house.
if you have a pledge account, the stockbroker will receive the dividend payout and prospectus on your behalf. Then the stockbroker will bank in to your account.
normally banking stockbrokers will require you to open a pledge account.
you will get CDS account statement monthly. If there is no activity, you will still get the statement on June and December.

3. Get a remisier:
Normally your stockbroker will appoint one to you if you don’t have any particular preference.

• remisier has to be licensed by the Securities Commission remisier helps you make the order
• sell? or buy? at what price?
• get someone you like and trustworthy as your remisier

4. Buying and Selling Shares:
You can key in your order at online system provided by your stockbrokers, or call your remisier to make the order. If your buying order match a selling order, you will get a trade confirmation. The stockbroking firm will then send out contract notes to you specifying details of transaction.

5. Payment:

Now, you can use this calculator to lighten up your trading decision. Bursa Malaysia Warrant Calculator automatically computes the premium and simple gearing for almost all the listed warrants in Bursa Malaysia.

The information provided are:
1. Underlying stock price, volume and 1-day/5-day/1-year graph.
2. Warrant type, exchange name price, volume, graph, expiration date, strike price, premium, percentage premium and simple gearing.

The exchange rate is automatically fetch so that you do not have to key it in. If you like, you can change the exchange rate. The premium is shown in the underlying stock currency and the percentage premium is computed for that currency. You can also change the underlying stock price or the warrant price and the premium will be computed accordingly.

The calculator also indicates the moneyness of the warrant:
1. In-the-money is light green
2. Out-of-the-money is pink
3. At-the-money is gray

For comparison purposes, you can see how warrants for the same underlying stock are traded in other exchanges.

The exchange code used are:
1. MY for Malaysia
2. SG for Singapore
3. HK for Hong Kong
In Version 3 of this calculator, you can now monitor the warrants that are listed in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. You can also select whether you want to monitor call warrants, put warrants or both. Therefore, in a bull market, you can select to view only call warrants while in a bear market, you can view only put warrants.

Anyhow, Version 3 allows you to choose which exchange that a particular warrant is traded in to be displayed. In addition to that, you can now choose to show call warrants, put warrants or both. Therefore, in a bull market, you can select to view only call warrants while in a bear market, you can choose to view only put warrants. This is the improvements that I have done to Version 3. The Bursa Malaysia Warrant Calculator has helped me a lot in my trading decision.
