advanced english, i can hardly understand most of it. FYI, Iwas not talking about the quality of TS, I am talking about the commision rate it is charging. I developed all my 10 trading systems on TS, but then I just imput them into excel and use excel to monitor my trading at IB account...

Chinese government will only proceed very cautiously, free floating will not happen in the near future, one reason is that the chinese banks & companies do not have expertise to handle the currency trading. 2% appreciation per half year till altogether 10% rise. this is acceptable, at least...

Def Do you know any good method to hedge RMB/HKD exchange risk ? I am a mainland chinese and trade HSI , I want to hedge HKD within my IB account against RMB, but still can not figure out a good method. When RMB goes up, HKD does not follow. This foreign exchange risk has been a concern...

Maybe TS is a better choice for US clients, considering its versatilily. But I found TS commision rate of international products are not very competitive. For example, their commision rate of HSI futures per contract is about 300% as much as that of IB.

Long HSI or HHI futures contracts in HKFE may be one choice. Actually, whenever there is a strong speculation that Chinese Yuan will aprreciate, the Hong Kong stock index go up. IT is difficult to buy chinese equities, but not very difficult to buy Chinese-related equities listed in HKFE

My IB connection with my primary ISP has been terrible since early July. I understand this may be just an ISP problem so I switched ISP from this monday, so far so good. ( refer to another thread " IB Hong Kong server" ) But yesterday afternoon with this second ISP I still experienced about 20...

Thanks. I tried another ISP yesterday, it looked fine. ( except for a short period of market data outdage due to IB's testing )

Testing sth during the trading hour may be very dangerous for the endclients. Fortunately HSI was not moving very fast yesterday, but surely I realize the importance to find a non-IB backup broker.

IB bulletin said they were testing sth today, there might be some data outdage. And later another bulletin said the market data was once again available to all TWS users. See if it's ok tomorrow

I am mainly trading from IB account through IB Hong Kong server , butI also use another broker as a backup service. I usually use two computers ( 4 screens) to trade, with FTTB & ADSL connection. But recently due to some bottleneck problems of local ISP, I can not connect to IB servers with...
