Chapter 1 General Provisions

Article 1 These Risk Management Rules of the Shanghai International Energy Exchange

(hereinafter referred to as the “Risk Management Rules”) are made, in accordance with the General Exchange Rules of the Shanghai International Energy Exchange, to strengthen the risk management on futures trading, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the futures market participants and guarantee the futures trading activities on or through the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (hereinafter referred to as “the Exchange”).

Article 2 The Exchange applies margin requirements, price limit, position limit, large trader position reporting, forced position liquidation, forced position reduction and risk warning, etc.

Article 3 These Risk Management Rules are binding on the Exchange, its Members, Overseas Special Participants (hereinafter referred to as the “OSPs”), Overseas Intermediaries, Clients, all other futures market participants, and their staff related to futures business.

Chapter 2 Margin Requirement

Article 4 The Exchange applies margin requirements. The Exchange applies different rates of trading margin for a futures contract based on different periods of trading from its listing to its last trading day. The application of different rates of trading margin for each listed futures contract is provided in the risk control parameters section in these Risk Management Rules.

Article 5 If the trading margin of a futures contract shall be adjusted, the Exchange shall, at the daily clearing on the trading day prior to the next trading day when the adjustment to the margin requirement is applied, settle all positions the futures contract based on the new trading margin rate. If the margin is insufficient at that time, the position holder must deposit funds to meet the new margin requirement, and the relevant Member shall ensure the new margin requirement is met before the opening of the next trading day.

The holder of a short position may use standard warrants as the performance bond for the futures contracts with the same underlying and equivalent amount of positions he/she holds, in which case, the trading margin requirement for these positions shall be waived.

Article 6 The following is an example of the period of trading of the August 2019 crude oil futures (SC1908) from its listing to its last trading day (period of trading from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019):

- the date of listing is August 1, 2018;

Article 15 When a futures contract is traded at the limit price, trades shall be matched with priority given to the bids or the asks which facilitate the close-out of open interests, except for the new positions opened on the current trading day, and based on the “time priority” rule.

Article 16 In the event that a Limit-locked market occurs to a futures contract on a trading day (denoted as D1, whereas D0 represents the previous trading day, and the following five (5) successive trading days are D2, D3, D4, D5 and D6), the price limit and the trading margin for the futures contract on D2 shall be adjusted as follows:

1. the same direction limit price for D2 shall be fixed at three percent (3%) greater than that for D1;

2. the trading margin on D2 shall be fixed at two percent (2%) greater than the percentage range or price limit for D2. If the adjusted trading margin is smaller than what is applied at the clearing of D0, the same trading margin applied on D0 shall be used as the trading margin for that contract.

If D1 is the first trading day for a newly listed futures contract, the contract’s trading margin on that day shall be adopted as the trading margin at the daily clearing on D0.

Article 17 The price limit and trading margin for the futures contract described in Article 16 of these Risk Management Rules on D3 shall be adjusted as follows:

1. If a same direction Limit-locked market does not occur on D2, the price limit and trading margin for D3 shall return to the normal level;

2. If a reverse direction Limit-locked market occurs on D2, a new round of a Limit-locked market is deemed to be triggered, i.e. D2 shall become D1 for the new round of Limit-locked market, and the trading margin rate and the price limit for the following trading day shall be set pursuant to Article 16 of these Risk Management Rules; or

3. If the same direction Limit-locked market exists on D2, the price limit for D3 shall be fixed at 5 percent (%) above the price limit on D1, and the trading margin shall be fixed at 2 percent (%) above the regular price limit for D3. If the adjusted trading margin is smaller than what was applied at the clearing of D0, the trading margin on D0 will be applied to meet the margin requirements for that contract.

Article 18 In the event that a successive same direction Limit-locked market of the futures contract as described in Article 16 of these Risk Management Rules does not occur on D3, the price limit and trading margin for D4 shall return to the normal level.

The occurrence of a reverse direction Limit-locked market on D3 shall trigger a new round of a Limit-locked market, i.e. D3 shall become D1 for the new round of a Limit-locked market, and the trading margin rate and the price limit for the following trading day shall be set pursuant to Article 16 of these Risk Management Rules; or

If the same direction Limit-locked market continues to exist on D3, which means for three (3) consecutive trading days, the market has been lock at limit price, the Exchange may, at the daily clearing of D3, suspend withdrawal of funds by a part of or all of its Members and take corresponding measures on D4 as follows:

1. if D3 is the last trading day of the futures contract, the cash-settled contract shall directly move into its settlement and delivery phase, and the physically delivered contract shall move into its settlement and delivery phase on the next trading day;

2. if D4 is the last trading day, the futures contract shall continue to trade on D4, the price limit and the trading margin for D3 shall be extended to D4, and the cash-settled contract shall directly move into its settlement and delivery phase, and the physically delivered contract shall move into its settlement and delivery phase on the next trading day;

4. if none of D3, D4, or D5 is the last trading day, the Exchange may, after the market close on D3, execute either of the two measures prescribed in Article 19 or 20 of these Risk Management Rules subject to market conditions.

Where the risk control parameters section of these Risk Management Rules contains different provisions on price limit and trading margin from those prescribed above, such provisions shall govern.

Article 19 Given the circumstances prescribed in item four of the third paragraph under Article 18 of these Risk Management Rules, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, following the market close on D3, announce that the futures contract prescribed in Article 16 will continue to trade on D4, and take one or more of the following measures:

1. adjusting the price limit, but not to be over twenty percent (20%) up or down;

2. if a reverse direction Limit-locked market occurs on D4, a new round of a Limit-locked market is deemed to be triggered, i.e. D4 shall become D1 for the new round of a Limit-locked market, and the trading margin and the price limit for the following trading day shall be set pursuant to Article 16 of these Risk Management Rules; or

3. if the same direction Limit-locked market continues to exist on D4, which means for four (4) consecutive trading days, market has been locked at limit price, the Exchange may announce that an abnormal circumstance occurs, and take risk control measures as provided in the applicable rules of the Exchange.

Article 20 Given the circumstances prescribed in item four of the third paragraph under Article 18 of these Risk Management Rules, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, after the market close on D3, announce its decision to suspend the futures contract described in Article 16 from trading on D4, and announce on D4 its decision to take either of the measures stipulated in Article 21 or 22 of these Risk Management Rules.

Article 21 Given the circumstances prescribed in Article 20 of these Risk Management Rules, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, announce that the trading of the contract described in Article 16 of these Risk Management Rules will be extended to D5, and take one or more of the following measures:

1. adjusting the price limit, but not to be over twenty percent (20%) up or down;

2. requiring additional trading margins from a part of or all of the Members and/or OSPs on either or both of the long or short position at the same or different rates of trading margin;

1. If a same direction Limit-locked market does not occur on D5, the price limit and trading margin for D6 shall return to the normal level;

2. If a reverse direction Limit-locked market occurs on D5, a new round of a Limit-locked market is deemed to be triggered, i.e. D5 shall become D1 for the new round of a Limit-locked market, and the trading margin and the price limit for the following trading day shall be set pursuant to Article 16 of these Risk Management Rules; or

3. If the same direction Limit-locked market continues to exist on D5, which means for five (5) consecutive trading days, market has been locked at limit price, the Exchange may announce that an abnormal circumstance occurs and take risk control measures as provided in the applicable rules of the Exchange.

Article 22 If the Exchange announces that an abnormal circumstance occurs and exercises forced position reduction, it shall specify the Forced Position Reduction Base Date and relevant contracts. Forced Position Reduction Base Date is the most recent trading day that a Limit-locked market occurs and forced position reduction is exercised.

When the Exchange exercises the forced position reduction, the Exchange shall automatically match all existing unfilled orders that are placed at the limit price by the close of Forced Position Reduction Base Date with the open interests held by each trader (trader here refers to a Client, a Non-Futures Firm Member (the “Non-FF Member”), or an Overseas Special

Non-Brokerage Participant (the “OSNBP”)), who incurs gains on his/her net positions, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the positions of the contract and at the limit price of Forced Position Reduction Base Date . If that trader holds both long and short positions, these positions shall be matched and settled before being matched with the remaining orders in the above ways. The procedure is as follows:

1. Determination of the “amount of the orders to be filled”:

The term “amount of orders to be filled” means the total amount of all the existing unfilled orders placed at the limit price into the central order book before the market close of Forced Position Reduction Base Date by each trader, who has incurred average losses on net positions in the futures contract of no less than eight percent (8%) of the daily settlement price on Forced Position Reduction Base Date. Traders unwilling to be subjected to this method may cancel the orders before the close of the market to avoid having the orders filled; cancelled orders will no longer be regarded as the orders to be filled.2. Calculation of each trader’s average gains or losses on net positions:

sum of trader’s net gains and losses on the contract (yuan)

Trader’s average net gains or losses on the contract =    

trader’s net positions on the contract (measuring unit)

A trader’s net position gains or losses on the affected futures contract shall equal the sum of the differences between the daily settlement price on the current day, and a series of historical transaction prices found by tracing backward in the system, where the cumulative amount of the historical transaction positions matches the amount of net positions held by the trader at the market close of the current day. Meanwhile, the unit of measurement for each futures contract is specified in the contract.

3. The positions eligible to fill the orders:

The positions eligible to fill the orders include the trader’s general positions and arbitrage positions with average gains on net position based on the formula in the Article 22-2, and the trader’s hedging positions with average gains on net positions of no less than eight percent (8%) of the settlement price of Forced Position Reduction Base Date.

4. Principles for the orders to be filled:

Subject to Article 22-3, the unfilled orders shall be filled in the following orders (four layers) based on the amount of gains and whether such positions are general, arbitrage, or hedging:

Firstly, unfilled orders shall be filled with the general and arbitrage positions eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with average gains on net positions of no less than eight percent (8%) of the settlement price on Forced Position Reduction Base Date for the contract

(hereinafter referred to as “general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over eight percent (8%)”).

Secondly, remaining unfilled orders after the first round of filling described in the above paragraph shall be filled with the general positions and arbitrage positions eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with average gains on net positions of no less than four percent (4%) but no more than eight percent (8%) of the settlement price on Forced Position

Reduction Base Date for the contract (hereinafter referred to as “general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over four percent (4%)”).

Thirdly, remaining unfilled orders after the previous two rounds of fillings shall be filled with the general and arbitrage positions eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with average gains on net positions of no more than four percent (4%) of the settlement price on

Forced Position Reduction Base Date for the contract (hereinafter referred to as “general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of less than four percent (4%)”).

At last, remaining unfilled orders after the previous three rounds of fillings shall be filled with the hedging position eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with gains over eight percent (8%) of the settlement price on Forced Position Reduction Base Date for the contract

(hereinafter referred to as “hedging positions with net position gains of over eight percent (8%)”).

In each layer, the order fill shall be made pro rata to the amount of position available to fill the unfilled orders, compared to the amount of the unfilled orders, or the remaining unfilled orders.

5. Methods and procedures for the pro rata order fill of unfilled orders (please see Appendix for illustration):

If the amount of the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over eight percent (8%) is greater than or equal to that of the unfilled orders, the unfilled orders shall be filled in proportion to the amount of the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over eight percent (8%).

If the amount of the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over eight percent (8%) is smaller than that of the unfilled orders, the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over eight percent (8%) shall be filled in proportion to the amount of the unfilled orders. The remaining unfilled orders, if any, shall be filled with the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over four percent (4%) in the same method as the foregoing, and if there are still unfilled orders remaining, the outstanding unfilled orders shall be filled to the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of less than four percent (4%), and to the hedging positions with net position gains of over eight percent (8%). Unfilled orders that eventually remain after all the order fills described above, if any, shall not be filled.

6. Decimals of the unfilled orders:

Positions are filled to the unfilled orders posted to the central order book under each trading code. In the first step, the integral portion of the total size of unfilled orders posted under each trading code shall be filled. In the second step, the remaining unfilled portion, i.e. the portion in decimal number posted under each trading code, shall be filled according to the ranking of the decimals from the highest to the lowest with each trading code being filled with one (1) lot, except that if there are two or more traders with equal decimals that could be included in the fill, such fill shall be done on a random basis if there are no enough positions to fill the orders.

If market risk is mitigated after forced position reduction is implemented, the price limit and the margin rate shall return to their regular levels on the next Trading Day; otherwise, the Exchange shall resort to further risk management measures.

Financial losses incurred as a result of the implementation of forced position reduction shall be borne by the Members, OSPs, Overseas Intermediaries and Clients.

Relevant detailed provisions, if any, in the risk control parameters section of these Risk Management Rules shall apply.

Article 23 If the Exchange announces that an abnormal circumstance occurs, the Exchange may adjust the time for market opening and closing, temporarily suspend trading, adjust price limit, raise level of margin, require position liquidation within a prescribed time period, conduct forced position liquidation, suspend withdrawal of funds, conduct forced position reduction, restrict trading or take any other emergency actions.

Chapter 6 Forced Position Liquidation

Article 38 The Exchange applies forced position liquidation to manage market risks.

Article 39 The Exchange shall impose forced position liquidation, if:

1. the clearing deposit balance of a Member recorded on any of the internal ledgers at the Exchange, which are whether to serve its own Clients or its authorized clearing entities, falls below zero (0), and the Member fails to meet the margin requirement within the specified time limit;

2. the open interest of a Non-FF Member, an OSNBP or a Client exceeds the applicable

position limit;

3. a Non-FF Member, an OSNBP or a Client fails to round the positions held in a futures contract to multiples as required within the specified time limit, or is not qualified to conduct delivery for matured contracts in its possession;

4. a violation of the Exchange’s rules occurs that warrants a forced position liquidation; 5. any emergency happens that warrants a forced position liquidation;

or

6. any other conditions exist that makes the forced position liquidation necessary.

Article 40 Members and OSPs shall, in the first place, exercise forced position liquidation as required by the Exchange by the end of the first trading session on each trading day or within the time limit prescribed by the Exchange. If a Member or an OSP fails to complete the execution within the prescribed time limit, the Exchange shall enforce the forced position liquidation. If a Member is required to exercise forced position liquidation because its clearing deposit balance recorded on any of its internal ledgers at the Exchange falls below zero (0), opening new position by such Member, related Overseas Intermediaries, OSPs or Clients that are associated with the corresponding internal legers, which are whether to serve the Member’s own Clients or its authorized clearing entities, shall be prohibited before the margin requirements are met.

Article 41 If the forced position liquidation is taken by a Member or an OSP under the conditions provided in the Article 39-1 and 39-2, the Member or the OSP shall determine the portion of positions for forced position liquidation at its discretion. If the action is taken under the conditions provided in the Article 39-3 to 39-6, the Exchange shall determine the portion of positions for forced position liquidation.

Article 42 For forced position liquidations under conditions described in Article 39-1, the Exchange shall liquidate the positions subject to the priority of general positions and arbitrage positions over hedging positions, and of futures positions over option positions; and in a descending sequence by the size of the open interest for each contract at the close of the previous trading day, i.e. contract with the largest open interest shall be liquidated first; and then proceed to the liquidation on such Member’s positions in a descending sequence, based on the losses on net positions in such contract by all the Clients and OSNBPs associated with the Member’s own internal leger or legers for the Member’s authorized clearing entities.

If the balance of clearing deposit in such ledgers still falls below zero (0) after the aforementioned forced position liquidation is completed, the Exchange shall forcibly close the

Member’s remaining positions recorded on the Member’s own internal ledgers or legers for the Member’s authorized clearing entities based on the above mentioned principle of this Article.

Where more than one Member are subject to have its open interest liquidated, the priority shall be given to the Member with the greatest margin call according to the ranking of the Exchange’s margin calls in a descending sequence.

Article 43 For forced position liquidations under conditions described in Article 39-2, the Exchange shall liquidate the positions in accordance with the following methods:

1. In the event that the position held by a Non-FF Member, an OSNBP or a Client exceeds the size of the applicable position limit, the Exchange shall forcibly liquidate the excess positions of such Non-FF Member, OSNBP or Client; or

2. In the event that the position held by an FF Member, an OSBP, an Overseas Intermediary and a Client exceed the size of the applicable position limits simultaneously, the excess positions of the Client shall be liquidated first. And the remaining excess positions shall be subject to provisions governing exceeding positions limits of FF Members, OSBPs and Overseas Intermediaries.

Article 44 Under the conditions provided in the Article 39-3 to Article 39-6, the Exchange shall, in its sole discretion, determine the portion of open interest of each involving Member, OSP, Overseas Intermediary and Client for forced position liquidation.

Article 45 In the event that both conditions described in Article 39-1 and Article 39-2 occur simultaneously, the Exchange shall first determine the positions for forced position liquidation pursuant to the Article 39-2, and then pursuant to the Article 39-1.

Article 46 The Exchange shall issue a notice of forced position liquidation to the Member who is subject to the forced position liquidation. Unless otherwise delivered by the Exchange, the notice shall be transmitted through the member service system along with the daily settlement data to the Member. For OSPs, the notice of forced position liquidation is transmitted to the Members who are authorized to perform clearing and settlement services on their behalf. And the Members must promptly notify the OSPs of the notice sent by the Exchange.

1. Determination of the “amount of the orders to be filled”:

The term “amount of orders to be filled” means the total amount of all the existing unfilled orders placed at the limit price into the central order book before the market close of Forced Position Reduction Base Date by each trader, who has incurred average losses on net positions in the futures contract of no less than six percent (6%) of the daily settlement price on Forced Position Reduction Base Date. Traders unwilling to be subjected to this method may cancel the orders before the close of the market to avoid having the orders filled; cancelled orders will no longer be regarded as the orders to be filled.

2. Calculation of each trader’s average gains or losses on net positions:  

sum of trader’s net gains and losses on the contract (yuan)

Trader’s average net gains or losses on the contract =    

trader’s net positions on the contract (measuring unit)

A trader’s net position gains or losses on the affected futures contract shall equal the sum of the differences between the daily settlement price on the current day, and a series of historical transaction prices found by tracing backward in the system, where the cumulative amount of the historical transaction positions matches the amount of net positions held by the trader at the market close of the current day. Meanwhile, the unit of measurement for each futures contract is specified in the contract.

3. The positions eligible to fill the orders:

The positions eligible to fill the orders include the trader’s general positions and arbitrage positions with average gains on net position based on the formula in the Article 79-2, and the trader’s hedging positions with average gains on net positions of no less than six percent (6%) of the settlement price of Forced Position Reduction Base Date.

4. Principles for the orders to be filled:

Subject to Article 79-3, the unfilled orders shall be filled in the following orders (four layers) based on the amount of gains and whether such positions are general, arbitrage, or hedging:

Firstly, unfilled orders shall be filled with the general and arbitrage positions eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with average gains on net positions of no less than six percent

(6%) of the settlement price on Forced Position Reduction Base Date for the contract

(hereinafter referred to as “general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over six percent (6%)”).

Secondly, remaining unfilled orders after the first round of filling described in the above paragraph shall be filled with the general positions and arbitrage positions eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with average gains on net positions of no less than three percent (3%) but no more than six percent (6%) of the settlement price on Forced Position Reduction

Base Date for the contract (hereinafter referred to as “general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over three percent (3%)”).

Thirdly, remaining unfilled orders after the previous two rounds of fillings shall be filled with the general and arbitrage positions eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with average gains on net positions of no more than three percent (3%) of the settlement price on Forced Position Reduction Base Date for the contract (hereinafter referred to as “general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of less than three percent (3%)”).

At last, remaining unfilled orders after the previous three rounds of fillings shall be filled with the hedging position eligible to fill the unfilled orders of any trader with gains over six percent (6%) of the settlement price on Forced Position Reduction Base Date for the contract

(hereinafter referred to as “hedging positions with net position gains of over six percent (6%)”).

In each layer, the order fill shall be made pro rata to the amount of position available to fill the unfilled orders, compared to the amount of the unfilled orders, or the remaining unfilled orders.

5. Methods and procedures for the pro rata order fill of unfilled orders (please see Appendix for illustration):

If the amount of the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over six percent (6%) is greater than or equal to that of the unfilled orders, the unfilled orders shall be filled in proportion to the amount of the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over six percent (6%).

If the amount of the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over six percent (6%) is smaller than that of the unfilled orders, the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over six percent (6%) shall be filled in proportion to the amount of the unfilled orders. The remaining unfilled orders, if any, shall be filled with the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of over three percent (3%) in the same method as the foregoing, and if there are still unfilled orders remaining, the outstanding unfilled orders shall be filled to the general and arbitrage positions with net position gains of less than three percent (3%), and to the hedging positions with net position gains of over six percent (6%). Unfilled orders that eventually remain after all the order fills described above, if any, shall not be filled.

6. Decimals of the unfilled orders:

Positions are filled to the unfilled orders posted to the central order book under each trading code. In the first step, the integral portion of the total size of unfilled orders posted under each trading code shall be filled. In the second step, the remaining unfilled portion, i.e. the portion in decimal number posted under each trading code, shall be filled according to the ranking of the decimals from the highest to the lowest with each trading code being filled with one (1) lot, except that if there are two or more traders with equal decimals that could be included in the fill, such fill shall be done on a random basis if there are no enough positions to fill the orders.
