Reversal of trade implies that for a buy transaction initially entered into by a broker for a particular client for a specific quantity, there is a corresponding sale transaction which takes place during the day for the same quantity between the same set of broker/clients and vice-versa.
To ensure safety of the securities markets, top bourse BSE is planning to soon introduce a mechanism that will automatically cancel reversal trades executed on its platform.
‘Auto-Cancellation of Reversal Trades’ would focus on prevention of reversal trades on the exchange trading platform. In this measure, the second leg (latest leg) of a reversal trade shall be automatically cancelled by the exchange, BSE said in a statement today.
“The implementation plan of the said functionality shall be communicated shortly”, it added.
