As from 3rd January 2018, in line with the provisions of the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), prices on equities and ETFs for limit orders are to be entered in accordance with the applicable decimal price increments (tick size) for the respective financial instrument.
A tick size is the minimum upward or downward price movement of a security and is determined by the stock exchange where the security is traded. For example, if the tick price of a security is EUR 0.01, when submitting a limit order on that security, the limit price that you enter must be a multiple of EUR 0.01 as the price of the security can only vary by multiples of EUR 0.01. Limit orders placed with an incorrect tick size multiple may be rejected. You can check the tick sizes of equities traded on the Malta Stock Exchange by clicking here.
