Since ADX uses exponential moving average length of data will affect calculatioin result.

eSignal provide HK stock data. Don't think there is a EOD program that will work with eSignal though.

detective has a point. crap stock do not affect index (i.e. HSI), so people outside of China may not even know if there is a 200% drop for most of the crap penny stocks in China.

Suggestion would be to avoid cheap computer, because that is the most important tool. One trade will win back cost of a good computer.

I experience something silimar with IB support today. I was unable to login to my account because I haven't got my passcode card yet, I send them a email it was responded within minute. Then I call the hotline and got a temperory passcode and got access to my account again.

I think odds are better for people to become a good trader than becoming a fortune 500 CEO.

Just curious. If you dont mind, can you tell me how much you are paying eSignal on a monthly bases now?

Yes, I think CMC is the market maker and broker in this case.

eSignal is a charting and data service not a brokerage.

When you say good are you referring to data quality or functionility of the chart? Yahoo Finance have intraday charts for a number of pairs.

Works fine on my machine, although I have popup blocker on at my browser.

Not necessary you can also collect tick data from IB or other source using NeoTicker. One other alternative would be subscribing to eSignal delay feed, and use historical data from their database.

I think esignal have pretty long intraday historical data, something like 60 days tick, 120 days minute, 10 year daily.

Trader Henry Just curious how do you know how many orders are at each price? Do you get level 2 from IB for HSI?

Thanks Trader Herry and yarozo Well I may force to go to HK physically and open an account

Trader Herry: You are right I am living in Japan now. But I travel around. So preferrable I don't have to have a HK address to open a brokerage account. I have friends that open trading account in HSBC, but that is expensive.

I am looking for a online discount brokerage that trades Hong Kong stocks. TIA

When comparing IB with some of the real-time tick by tick data vendor, IB seems to only provide time pull price and is usually lagging behind.

Another alternative is Big Charts website: http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/ don't know what time frame you are looking for though but I can get 15 minute intraday for Dow.

If you want an economic real-time data solution, IQFeed/DTN IQ could be another consideration. http://www.iqfeed.net/ http://www.dtniq.com/
