Hi I am using a cloud server to execute my trades and it seems that there has been some disconnection lately. Normally my IB TWS will disconnects and connects again when connection is back ON. However I suspect when the disconnection happens too many times TWS does not connect again and freezes...

hi guys, at the end i have chosen https://www.pachosting.hk. price is very competitive.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. 1. Re IB's family and friends account I got the same info as you have, i.e. IB will happy issue an account to you but will rely on you to follow the requirements under your specific jurisdiction, in this case the SFC. Though I know a friend who has this...

Hi all, Would like to brainstorm some ideas re trading the HSI intraday. Do you guys observe any interesting patterns during the first and last hour of trading? To start the discussion, I find that the HSI is very trendy during the last 1.5 hours of the trading day. i.e. 1430 to 1600 or so.

yes, i will only need to switch on the software at the remote PC, which means my connection doesnt need to be perfect.

Hi, I trade thru Multicharts. Since the internet connection I have at home is not the most reliable I would like to explore rent a remote PC to run my strategies and execute my trades. Can someone suggest a service provider? I found Amazon Web Services (AWS) randomly, is it a good option...

hi, can someone explain how neural network is applied in (systematic) trading in very very simple layman terms? thanks,

I was told that since start of this year the large banks in HK dont let BVI companies open bank accounts anymore. Re trading profit tax i think i will stick with trading with personal account as IRD dont seem to enforce it (like it does with properties). thanks for participating, good to...

thanks guys for your feedback. Mcdull, thats the conclusion I arrive at too with regards to IRD stance towards trading profits.

Daal, I checked, even as a BVI (or any other foreign company for that matter), you will have to pay HK profit tax if your operation is conducted in Hong Kong, regardless of where your company is domiciled.

mcdull: thanks for your info. i am a hong kong resident. i have another question for you. as described previously i trade myself and reside in HK. I trade frequently and say I make enough money to buy an apartment. Obviously i would have paid 0 tax on the profits i made. do you think the...

Background: I live in a Hong Kong where there is 0 capital gains tax and 16.5% profit tax. My Objective: I trade quantitatively with my own capital. Since I am not working and have no credit history I would like to setup a company and employ myself as such I can create a credit/banking...

hi guys, do you know any website (tools) where you can plug in your return time series and it will generate a report for you? I am using interactive brokers already and its reports are fine but I am wondering if there are other external tools that I can use to analysis my returns in more...

Dear Traders, I trade quantitatively. I am looking to setup a managed account business in Hong Kong. My clients will be friends and family and I am looking to use Interactive Brokers' friends and family adviser account. From my understanding in order to setup an adviser account with IB...

Hi, I have some questions specifically on HK stocks. 1. Does anyone know if you will need to pay stamp duty (0.1% of stock value) if you liquidate positions at day end? Say I buy one share at open and sell back before close? 2. Can you trade at market OPEN and get filled at OPEN easily...

Thanks for the comments. I got data from bloomberg for some of the futures mentioned. the problem I am facing is the OPEN is actually T-1 (Night Sessions OPEN). As there is normally a regular session (like the cash index) and a night session starting shortly after market close. Not sure if...

Hi All, Does any of you know how reliable are futures data (Open, Close, High, Low) from Bloomberg? If I am designing a strategy based on these variables (open, high, low, close), do you think I need to buy data from vendors separately? (Assume I execute on the open and close most of the...

hi, i come across to the same problems, have you figured out if futures data from bloomberg are reliable or not?
