In this case, you would like to modify the Total QTY to 5,000. (Executed QTY 2,000 + Extra QTY 3,000 = Total QTY 5,000)
If you modified the Total QTY to 3,000, only QTY 1,000 will further be executed, because the Total QTY 3,000 also includes the QTY 2,000 which has already been executed. (Total QTY 3,000 - Executed QTY 2,000 = Extra QTY 1,000)
Stop Limit Order, Market Order, and Stop Order cannot be modified. Users have to cancel and place the order again if any amendment.

To open a Stock Borrowing Account, you must have an existing trading account with UOB Kay Hian (Hong Kong). Clients are required to sign the following documents to open a Stock Borrowing Account:
The charges involved are as follow:
Initial SBL agreement registration | HKD 500 |
Half yearly Return of Stock Borrowing Transactions | HKD 200 |
Per stock borrowing transaction | as per interest cost, subject to HKD 500 minimum + 0.125% of day end market value per stock base |
Interest cost will be charged on a per stock basis, based on the interest rate for that particular stock times the day-end market value of that stock.
For Blue Chip Stock, 25% is required. For non-Blue Chip Stock, 35% is required.
If a stock is borrowed and sold before the ex-dividend date but buy-back after ex-dividend date, the borrower has to repay the lender the dividend amount in full, even though the borrower is not entitled to the dividend.
For stocks having an ex-dividend date during the stock borrowing period, dividends received by the borrower has to be repaid to the lender in full, i.e. before deduction of charges.
If customer borrow and short sell Blue Chip Stock, the maintenance margin is 115%* of the borrowed value. If the customer's cash balance falls below 115%, then our Credit Department will make a margin call.
Example:
If a customer borrowed and short sold 4000 shares HSBC @ $80, then the customer would need to deposit an initial margin of $80,000 ($80 x 4000 x 25%). The total account cash balance would be $400,000 and the maintenance margin required is $368,000 ($80 x 4000 x 115%). If the stock price of HSBC rises to $92.1, then the customer will receive a margin call as the balance falls below the maintenance margin ($400,000 / $92.1 x 4000) < 115%.
For non-Blue Chip Stock, the maintenance margin is 125%.
