How are operations carried out within the Egyptian Stock Exchange:

Before any of the investors trades in the restricted or non-restricted (over-the-counter) securities, each investor must have a trading account with one of the brokerage firms licensed by the Authority and registered in the membership register of the stock exchange.

Each customer must have an account in one of the custodial banks to check whether the quantities in the event of sale are already in the customer’s account and transfer the purchased quantities to the customer’s account

Dealing in the stock exchange takes place through the automated systems prepared in the Egyptian Stock Exchange

Brokerage firms must record their clients' orders as soon as those orders are given. And the record must include the contents of the order, the name of the security, the customer's account number, the quantity and the time the order was received

Brokerage firms must ensure that the client has sufficient stock balance in cases of sale, and verify the ability of the buyer to pay the price in cases of purchase, before executing orders.

Execution begins with an order from the client to the brokerage firm to buy or sell a number of shares of a specified issuing company at a predetermined price.

This order is recorded on the stock exchange's automated system, whether from the brokerage company's port on the stock exchange or through the screens of the brokerage companies (REMOTE TRADING). After that, the order is executed by the electronic system and transferred to the stock exchange's central computer. A confirmation is given to the brokerage firm that the order has been executed on the screen
