The best place to track when the HKFE will be closed is the IB calender at http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=calendars&ib_entity=llc in which it says that Hong Kong markets are closed today. Note: Do not rely on the IB Trader's Calendar, which is a pdf. There are many omissions in the pdf calendar and it should not be used as a reference.

Try Advantage Futures, they also offer Hang Seng. Or simply ask your parents to open up account.

Hello RedDuke, long time no talk.

I got replies from Advantage Futures that they only offer it over dealing desk, no electronic trading so far.

Too bad. IB is the way to go then. I read many horror stories about them, but personally I never had any issues with them and pretty happy with most things.

I like IB, but I happen to have all those horrors.
