Based on the broker's application to increase its credit limit for potential trades, either the TSE or IFB consults with Tehran Securities Exchange Technology Management Co (TSETMC). And, ultimately, when TSETMC received the green light from the SEO, which has the final say in the matter, the new credit limit would is set, otherwise, the request turns null.
