Volatility Detection in a Non-Trading Security's Price Quotation

摘要

To ensure that a security does not experience large fluctuations in price after being released from a halt or an IPO, a volatility detection process is used to monitor a pre-release stability of the security based on pre-release orders to buy and orders to sell. These pre-release orders to buy and orders to sell establish an equilibrium price, a cross price. A security is released only when the cross price has been stable for a predetermined period of time prior to the release.
