only. Clearing Participants should ignore any accounts assigned with this account type
2) During the day, an account with “Net” position keeping method may still have both
long and short positions. The “Auto-Netting” process carried out during the After Business process will automatically net off the positions
Separate sets of clearing account types will be created for SEOCH and HKCC Participants. For General Clearing Participants (“GCP”), a separate set of clearing account types (excluding the Daily Account, Sink Account and APT Account) will be created for keeping the trades and positions of each Non-Clearing Participant registered under its appointed GCP. For account structure of Non-Clearing Participant, please refer to section 2.1.3

Notes: 1) Trades for HKFE products executed at HKATS will store in the corresponding
DCASS account and the position will be shown in the “C1” account. E.g. If traders of “ABC” specified “C” as the account to store the trades, the trades will be propagated to “HK CABC C”. The position will be shown in “HK CABC C1”
Trades for stock options executed at HKATS will store in the corresponding DCASS account and the position will be shown in the “A1” account. E.g. If traders of “ABC” specified “A” as the account to store the trades, the trades will be propagated to “HK CABC A”. The position will be shown in “HK CABC A1”
2) If no account information or an invalid account is specified in the order (e.g. trader
of “ABC” enters “CC” instead of “C1” as the account to store the trade), the system will automatically store the matched trade into a default account preset in HKATS. If the default account is “HK ABC C”, the trade will be propagated to “HK CABC C”, “Errol log” will be shown under the “Attention” field in the Trade History window for that particular trade
3) Trades that executed at HKATS and then propagated to DCASS can be identified in
the Trade History Window by having “Global deal nbr” with value and “Org. trade nbr” being blank
