Strengthen fairness and market efficiency in terms of structure and cost.1. Reduce the tick size for securities priced from 5-50 baht per share to reduce the price differential. This will result in a reduction in trading costs for all groups of investors and increase liquidity in the market.2. In the event that an account has more than 100 times OTR and more than 50 orders per minute (active minute), such account will be charged an additional fee at the rate of 0.15 baht per transaction (15 satang) only for the amount exceeding 30,000 transactions/day.Group 2 Measures to reduce abnormal fluctuations in securities prices3. Uptick Rule for Short Selling In the event that the price of a security decreases by 10% or more from the closing price of the previous day, the uptick  criteria will be applied for that security on the next business day. This is to help slow down the selling force during market volatility and maintain balance while reducing the impact on liquidity and trading costs. If it is a normal condition, the criteria will be used.

Or there is a channel for sending orders for specific investors( Dedicated API) so that supervision is based on facts and can monitor trading behavior appropriately. ### Related**Posts** ### 󠀁[SET and Chulalongkorn University partner to advance Thai family businesses education](https://www.thailand-business-news.com/corporate/332952-set-and-chulalongkorn-university-partner-to-advance-thai-family-businesses-education)󠁿 ### 󠀁[BOI, SET, and SEC Launch BOI to IPO Program to Boost Thailand’s New Economy](https://www.thailand-business-news.com/companies/333137-boi-set-and-sec-launch-boi-to-ipo-program-to-boost-thailands-new-economy)󠁿 ### 󠀁[Value-Up Arrives in ASEAN: Six Markets Competing to Narrow the Gap](https://www.thailand-business-news.com/set/334172-value-up-comes-to-asean-how-six-markets-are-racing-to-close-the-discount-set-news)󠁿 ### 󠀁[Thai Listed Companies Face Nearly $11 Billion in Annual Climate‑Risk Costs by 2050, S&P Global Warns](https://www.thailand-business-news.com/environment/329326-thai-listed-companies-face-nearly-11-billion-in-annual-climate-risk-costs-by-2050-sp-global-warns)󠁿 7**.
