FOK和FAK指令是什么?

What are FOK and FAK Orders?

FOK(Fill Or Kill):

  • 全部成、全部撤。报单手数要么全部成交,不能全部成交时立即全部撤单。
FOK (Fill Or Kill):
  • All done, or all withdrawn. . The order quantity must be fully executed, and if it cannot be fully executed, it will be immediately canceled in its entirety.
FAK(Fill And Kill):
  • 部分成、部分撤。报单手数部分成交,未成交部分立即撤单。
FAK (Fill And Kill):
  • Partial Fulfilment and Partial Withdrawal. Part of the order quantity is executed, and the unexecuted part is immediately canceled.


哪些交易所可以用这些指令?
  • 上期所:可以使用FOK和FAK指令,需要注意(1)FOK和FAK指令应当结合上期所提供的限价指令使用;(2)FOK和FAK指令不得在集合竞价时段使用。
  • 大商所、广期所:市价指令和限价指令可附加FOK和FAK两种指令属性。
  • 郑商所:市价指令无FOK指令属性,但市价指令本身具有FAK的意思。限价指令无FOK指令属性,而限价指令可附加FAK指令。
  • 中金所:限价指令可使用FOK、FAK指令,市价指令有特殊的指令(一档即成剩撤、一档即成剩转限价、五档即成剩撤、五档即成剩转限价)。

Which Exchanges Can Use These Orders?
  • Shanghai Futures Exchange: Can use FOK and FAK orders, but it is important to note: (1) FOK and FAK orders should be used in conjunction with the price limit orders provided by the Shanghai Futures Exchange; (2) FOK and FAK orders should not be used during the call auction period.
  • Dalian Commodity Exchange, Guangzhou Futures Exchange: Market orders and price limit orders can be attached with FOK and FAK order attributes.
  • Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange: Market orders do not have the FOK order attribute, but the market order itself has the meaning of FAK. Price limit orders do not have the FOK order attribute, but price limit orders can be attached with FAK orders.
  • China Financial Futures Exchange: Limit orders can use FOK and FAK orders, and market orders have special orders (e.g., one-level immediate filled and others cancelled, one-level immediate filled and others transfer to price limit orders, five-level immediate filled and others cancelled, five-level immediate filled and others transfer to price limit orders).

对CTA策略的影响:进一步加强高频交易监管,有利于维护市场公平
取消FOK和FAK指令产生的异常交易行为豁免,对CTA策略,尤其是那些依赖FOK和FAK指令来执行高频交易技术的策略,会有
以下几个方面的影响:
执行效率降低:
  • 高频CTA策略依赖于快速和精确的交易执行,以捕捉市场微小的价格变动,FOK指令能确保订单要么立即全部成交、要么立即撤销。目前投资者最高可以获得上期所1秒4次5档切片的数据,而采用FOK指令作为试探单,通过试探单的成交与否可以判断出目前盘口价格的变动,实现快人一步。若此种行为受到限制,将影响到策略的执行效率,信息优势也将有所削弱,从而影响策略的回报。
交易成本增加:
  • 使用FOK和FAK指令可能触发异常交易行为的监测,那么使用这些指令可能会导致交易者面临额外的监管费用或罚款,这会直接影响到高频交易策略的净收益。
合规任务加重:
  • 交易需要更加谨慎地操作,以避免触发异常交易行为。这可能需要增加合规团队的资源,以监控和报告交易活动,确保其交易活动符合交易所的规定。
策略思路调整:
  • 高频策略交易者的操作工具有所限制,这种变化可能会推动管理人寻找新的交易技术和策略,以适应更严格的监管环境。这可能包括开发更复杂的算法来处理市场数据,或者以更精细的方式执行交易等。
Impact on CTA Strategies: Strengthening High-Frequency Trading Regulation to Maintain Market Fairness
The cancellation of exemptions for abnormal trading behaviors caused by FOK and FAK orders will have the following impacts on CTA strategies, especially those that rely on FOK and FAK orders to execute high-frequency trading techniques:
Reduced Execution Efficiency:
  • High-frequency CTA strategies rely on fast and precise trade execution to capture minor market price movements. The FOK order ensures that the order is either fully executed immediately or immediately canceled. Currently, investors can obtain data from the Shanghai Futures Exchange at a rate of 4 times per second with 5 price levels. By using the FOK order as a probing order, the execution or non-execution of the probing order can be used to judge the current price fluctuation at the market, achieving a step ahead. If such behavior is restricted, it will affect the execution efficiency of the strategy, and the information advantage will also be weakened, thereby affecting the strategy's return.
Increased Trading Costs:
  • Using FOK and FAK orders may trigger monitoring of abnormal trading behaviors, which could lead to traders facing additional regulatory fees or fines, directly affecting the net income of high-frequency trading strategies.
Increased Compliance Burden:
  • Trading operations need to be more cautious to avoid triggering abnormal trading behaviors. This may require an increase in compliance team resources to monitor and report trading activities to ensure compliance with exchange regulations.
Adjustment of Strategy Approach:
  • The tools available for high-frequency strategy traders are limited, and this change may drive managers to seek new trading technologies and strategies to adapt to stricter regulatory environments. This may include developing more complex algorithms to handle market data or executing trades in a more refined manner.
总之,此次管理办法的修订体现出了“趋利避害、突出公平、有效监管、规范发展”的总体思路。高频交易的特点与自成交、频繁报撤单和大额报撤单等行为有一定的关联,如若操作不当,可能导致不正常的市场波动,对其他参与者造成不公平影响。强化对高频交易监管约束,有利于维护市场公平,吸引更广泛的资金进入市场投资。高频交易和策略开发者可能需要计算调 整策略思路以符合新规定,并在策略执行、成本控制和合规性上做出相应的改变。
In summary, the revision of the management measures reflects the overall approach of "seeking benefits while avoiding harm, highlighting fairness, effective regulation, and standardized development." The characteristics of high-frequency trading are somewhat related to behaviors such as self-matching, frequent order cancellations, and large-volume order cancellations. If not operated properly, it may lead to abnormal market fluctuations and unfairly affect other participants. Strengthening the regulatory constraints on high-frequency trading is beneficial for maintaining market fairness and attracting a broader range of capital to invest in the market. High-frequency traders and strategy developers may need to adjust their strategy approaches to comply with new regulations and make corresponding changes in strategy execution, cost control, and compliance.
