<About Placing Orders>
TOP
1. What is the minimum lot of placing an order?

-You can place an order from 1 lot.

2. Is it OK to place an order at night or during holidays?
-You can place an order at any time including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays but except from 3:30am to 4:30am.

3. Is it possible to place an order for Itayose trading right before the price is settled?
-It is possible to place an order until the price at Itayose trading is settled. However, if you place an order at the point of price settlement, our system does receive your order but it may not be accepted by the exchange (thus it will not be filled) as the price has already settled.

4. What time is the deadline for accepting order for Zaraba (continuous session) trading?
-It is possible to place an order up to 15:30 (closing time of the session). However, even when you place an order at 15:30 and your order is accepted by our system, the order may be canceled by the exchange as it is already after 15:30 at the time the echange receives that order.

**About canceling your order
The Tokyo Commodity Exchange stops accepting orders during the lunch break after 11:00 am. All the data of orders and order cancels will be stored in our server until 12:10 pm. Hence, when you request for canceling the order during this lunch break (11:00am to 12:10pm) , the requested cancel order will not be marked as Canceled in Order History Screen until after 12:10 pm.

5. Can I place orders by phone, email or fax?
-Basically, we do not accept orders without using ROMANHIKOH system. However, in case of system failures, we do accept orders by phones at the same fees.

6. Can I place an order during system failure?
-If you cannot place an order because of our system failure, you can call us to place an order.

7. I am trading commodity futures through different FCM. Is it possible to clear my position at different FCM through Orient Trading?
-No, we cannot do this. Similarly, you cannot clear trades which were done with us at different FCM.

8. Can I settle trades by delivery?
-Unfortunately, our on-line trading does not accept settlement by delivery.

7. I can not trade with my excess fund even though I made profits after liquidated my position(s), what's wrong? What should I do?
- If you would like to add realized profit to your deposited margin, you need to select [Trade Balance->Deposit Margin] and input necessary information in Fund Transfer. Fund transfer in your account will be reflected within one (1) hour; however, fund transfer request after 4:00pm will be processed after 9:00am of the next business day.

The reason why system is made in this way is because the regulations require that customer should decide each time whether he uses the profit as customer margin or he wants to withdraw.
