What are disposition and attention stocks?

What the TWSE and TPEx "attention" and "disposition" announcements are (TPEx data often calls them warnings), how they differ and where to see them on this site.

Two different stages

• Attention stocks (attention notices): when a stock's price move, volume or turnover meets the exchange's published criteria, the exchange issues an attention notice. It is only a reminder and does not restrict trading. TPEx data sometimes calls this a "warning"; on this site it is grouped with attention stocks.
• Disposition stocks (disposition measures): when the number or pattern of attention notices reaches the exchange's criteria, the stock may enter disposition. During the period orders are matched manually (about once every 2 minutes) and cash or shares may have to be deposited in advance. It usually lasts 5 trading days; the announcement has the exact measures.

In short, attention is the earlier step and disposition the later one. An attention stock does not always become a disposition stock.

What "Times" means

In the attention list, "Times" is how many times the stock was listed as an attention stock recently, as of that notice. A larger number means it is closer to the disposition threshold; the exchange's announcement defines the actual rule.

Where to see them on this site

• Market → Disposition: stocks currently or soon under disposition (period, reason, measure) and the attention notices of the last few days. Every column header can be clicked to sort; 20 rows per page.
• Stock page: a tag next to the name reads "Under disposition (until M/D)", "Disposition starts…" or "Attention stock"; open it for the period and reason.
• Watchlist: names of stocks under or about to be under disposition turn red, with an "i" to click for the period.
• Screener: the "Quality exclusions" group has "Exclude disposition stocks".

Source and reminder

The data comes from TWSE and TPEx announcements and the original announcement prevails; the site only organizes it, without adjustment or scoring. Reasons and effects differ for each stock, and this is only an explanation of terms, not a view on any price move.
