Quote from mcdull:

There are some apartments (or what we call "village house") in Lamma Island, the rent is around $4000-$7000 (HKD) for 350sq feet to 700 sq feet.

If you only trade at home, there is no need to live near any business district.
All outlying Island apartment rent is cheap, less polluted and having some nice beach.

I'm conceding moving to Honk Kong this fall from the mid west. I trade from home (CME ). Should I be concern about Internet latency and reliability in the outlying Islands?
 
hi, for those of you using IB in HK. I am wondering if you know how does IB remit funds (HKD) to your HK bank account? I am using a bank in HK that says

"4.What is the bank charge for inward remittance?
HKD60 per transaction is charged for funds remitted directly from a foreign bank. This bank charge is waived for Prestige Banking customers.

For overseas remittance to Hang Seng Bank through other local bank(s) via CHATS payment, the charge will be HKD15 per transaction depending on the currency of the remitted funds. "

thanks

It should be from a Citibank Hong Kong account.

Besides any idea which local bank in HK offers the least intermediary bank fees on non USD international wires, as HSBC has become a rip off a couple of years ago (saw up to 50gbp disappearing on the way) ?
 
I am trading in hong kong too,

My brokers:

IB
Tradestation
Advantage futures

I would like to know what back has lower fees for international transfers in hong kong? now, I use HSBC.

I am triying to open bank account in Gibraltar, Andorra o Luxembourg to make lower fees in transfers between my funds and the broker.

My skype: hagencns in english or spanish

I am a swing trader in F_ES, CL, ETF bonds

I think now the main problems is how to conservate funds from bailout from a broker and how to solve the SIPC not cover Future funds.

Sorry for my late response.
I assume you will use a broker with servers in HK. The latency of different districts of Hong kong is almost the same. But different connection technology can have great effect on latency (e.g. ADSL, VDSL, Fiber Optics,...)

About the reliability of outlying islands internet connection, I can't say much because I have never lived there.

I live in Kowloon upland area, ADSL connection is very bad when there is strong lightning or heavy raining. It happens 2-3 times each year and service outage is around 1-2 hours each time.

I guess connection reliability in outlying islands is similar to the reliability in my area.
