How to Trade in DLC simulated Trading Platform [Tutorial]
Daily Leverage Certificates (DLC) are exchange-traded financial products that enable investors to take a leveraged exposure to an Underlying Asset, such as an equity index or a single stock. Daily Leverage Certificates replicate the performance of an Underlying Asset versus its previous day closing level, with a fixed leverage factor.
There are two types of Daily Leverage Certificates – Daily Long and Daily Short which enable investors to take a long or short exposure to an Underlying Asset.
Getting Started: what can you do with a DLC?
Long DLCs allow you to generate leveraged gains when the Underlying Asset goes up. On the other hand, Short DLCs increase in value when the Underlying Asset goes down, allowing investors to achieve positive and leveraged gains during market downturn.
Example: 5x Long Tencent
5x Long Tencent is at S$1. Buy 1,000 shares of this DLC with S$1000 when Tencent is at HK$300.
Tencent goes up from HK$300 to HK$309, i.e. up 3%.
5x Long Tencent will go up from S$1 to S$1.15, i.e. up by 3% x 5 = 15% compared to the previous day close.
Example: 5x Short Tencent
5x Short Tencent is at S$1. Buy 1,000 shares of this DLC with S$1,000 when Tencent is at HK$300.
Tencent goes up from HK$300 to HK$309, i.e. up by 3%.
5x Short DLC will go down from S$1 to $0.85, i.e. down by 3% x 5 = 15% compared to the previous day close.

With more than 2,000 participants last year, this year participants will battle it out with other traders, through the trading of an instrument called Daily Leverage Certificate (DLC).
What is a Daily Leverage Certificate (DLC)?
Daily Leverage Certificates (DLC) are exchange-traded financial products that enable investors to take a leveraged exposure to an Underlying Asset, such as an equity index or a single stock (Full list of DLCs). Daily Leverage Certificates replicate the performance of an Underlying Asset versus its previous day closing level, with a fixed leverage factor.
There are two types of Daily Leverage Certificates – Daily Long and Daily Short which enable investors to take a long or short exposure to an Underlying Asset.
Getting Started: what can you do with a DLC?
Long DLCs allow you to generate leveraged gains when the Underlying Asset goes up. On the other hand, Short DLCs increase in value when the Underlying Asset goes down, allowing investors to achieve positive and leveraged gains during market downturn.
Example: 5x Long DBS
5x Long DBS is at S$2. Buy 500 shares of this DLC with S$1000 when DBS is at S$25.
DBS goes up from S$25 to S$25.5, i.e. up 2%.
5x Long DBS will go up from S$2 to S$2.2, i.e. up by 2% x 5 = 10% compared to the previous day close.
Example: 5x Short Tencent
5x Short Tencent is at S$1. Buy 1,000 shares of this DLC with S$1,000 when Tencent is at HK$300.
Tencent goes up from HK$300 to HK$309, i.e. up by 3%.
5x Short DLC will go down from S$1 to $0.85, i.e. down by 3% x 5 = 15% compared to the previous day close.
How to identify a DLC?
For example, a 5x DLC with Tencent as an underlying would be known as 5xLongSG211105, with the following ticker DANW.
If there are more than one DLC with the same terms, DLCs that are launched subsequently are supplemented with an ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and so forth after expiry date.
What happens if I hold a DLC until expiry?
If you hold a DLC until expiry, the DLC will be settled at the fair value based on the pricing formula. If a 5x DLC is worth S$2 one day before expiry, and if the Underlying Stock remains unchanged on the expiry date, then the settlement price of the DLC will be at S$2.
Participants will be given virtual capital of S$100,000 to trade using real time market data on selected stocks and products in this simulated trading challenge. The trading challenge starts on 5 May 2025 (at 9am) and ends on 23 May 2025 (at 5pm).
The top 3 traders with the highest total portfolio return and met the criteria of having minimum three open positions within the competition period will be the winners.
This means you will need a minimum of three (3) Long positions for 3 different stocks OR securities within the Campaign Period, in order to be eligible for prizes. Example of what would count as minimum of three (3) Long positions for 3 different stocks OR securities: 1 Long trade for Stock A 1 Long trade for Warrant A 1 Long trade for DLC A
Example of what would NOT count as minimum of three (3) Long positions for 3 different stocks OR securities: 2 Long trades for Stock A 1 Long trade for Warrant A
Please note that any participant who creates more than one (1) account shall be considered in breach of Competition Rules and will be disqualified from the competition.
