HSI broker wanted

Quote from mokwit:

Credit where due. IB 'gets it' regarding investing in infrastructure for execution speed. I was trading HSI with 2-300ms of ISP latency and was only at a slight disadvantage due to IB execution speed making up for ISP latency. My guess is that the local brokers underinvest in capacity and their clients lose out while inadequate server capacity checks their margin availablity (this, rather than internet infrastucture is the usual cause of observable execution latency).

Also I found the 'snapshot' data approach to be much better than tick by tick with e.g. eSignal being about a minute behind in a fast market ( a long time in HSI). Bloomberg have a server located in HK so a large swathe of the professional market are getting prices with negligible lag. if you have data feed latency you are seeing prices that are longer current.

Actually Datafeed Latency is quite common for HK retail traders (those that I know of); hance I kept asking Kiwi about ping time since I might move around this year..

Def,

E Trade is marketing in HK, not sure they have an office in HK or not. Gonna start breaking into HK any time soon?

We're in Admiralty...and the desk is reachable on 2156-7907 - English, Cantonese, Mandarin or Japanese. We're also licened with the SFC.
Isn't that local - or are you looking for branch offices in Yuen Long and Kwai Hing?
 
I am perfectly happy with IB's Booktrader. I don't know why people don't mention it more often. I have one laptop dedicated to it. The F-buttons are programmed for instant execution, for various trading scenarios.
E.g. 2 buttons are just plain buy and sell order at market, one is a buy at market with attached stop. The stop adjusts to whatever contract I am trading.
One button is a trailing stop.
Limit orders are adjustible just with a mouseclick.

Maybe you can see some info under the webinar section on IB.
