A bit of technoid on those BPXTs today..(somebody might be getting a smack if we see many more of these?)
Booking Purposes Trades ASX would like to remind Market Participants that a Booking Purpose trade is a trade that does not update official prices or daily trade statistics - that is, it does not update open, high, low, last or closing prices, number of trades, volume or value traded. The trade is made purely for broker bookkeeping purposes. Booking Purposes trades are reported on ITS using condition code BP (or BPXT if the Booking Purpose trade is a crossing) and are used for internal accounting/book-keeping purposes (for example, for the purposes of correcting a client’s identification on a trade), accordingly ASX expects that they are seldom used. ASX makes this facility available to allow Participant to ensure that their records are correct within their systems. While Booking Purpose trades are used for internal accounting purposes only, DTR’s should be aware that these trades are still noted by ASX Market Control. Instances of excessive use and/or inappropriate use of the Booking Purpose trades by Participants may be referred to ASX Compliance for further assessment and action, where appropriate.
