Misdeal procedure

If a trade has been placed in error, the following must be done and communicated to DMA:

  • Immediately counter the relevant trade. Example: Account is long 200 Sasol Ltd.
  • Notify trading@dma.co of the misdeal by indicating the account in question and the relevant trade that was placed in error.
  • DMA will move the two lines (the original trade and the countering trade) to your error account for the two lines of the trade to settle.
  • You will be required to settle the loss of the trade in the error account.
