Key point: Opening a securities account gives access to trading; it does not mean you need to trade immediately or use every feature the broker offers.
Execution creates a settlement obligation
TWSE broker-agreement rules treat failure to deliver payment or securities on time as a default.
Taiwan cash equities use a T+2 settlement framework
Ordinary cash-equity transactions settle under the current T+2 structure. Brokers may require funds to be available according to their banking procedures.
Default is not simply canceling the trade
Rules establish reporting and follow-up procedures, and the broker may handle debt and related costs under the contract and applicable rules.
The simplest risk control is having the money before ordering
Keep investment cash separate from emergency funds and ensure settlement funds are available before placing the trade.
Final pre-opening checks
- Confirm the website/app is genuinely operated by the broker
- Understand fees, settlement, order channels, and customer support
- Never give passwords, OTPs, or credentials to another person
- Have settlement funds ready before executing a purchase
