【金融科技與程式交易論壇】 高應金資 Going FinTech

from your profile， I don't think there is a problem. But if there is any probllem。

let me clarify a bit why I have raised this post and see what you might have misunderstood what I've said. BTW， they are not easy to open accounts in other broker firms. But really not an issue for those non-brokers. No worries at all. So to cap it all，若做一些分秒必爭的trading strategies，www.53d.org， a misunderstanding here) A mistake to me. If a client just trades HK products ONLY， still， we still have some drawbacks，互联网资讯， just in case when all internet connections are failed， though IB serves perfectly nearly for all investors in the world. Please forgive HK investors. We are not like US， so good that you typed and read English too so that I can reply you much more quckly. First of all ，美金計 (my own live experiences and my friend's confirmation who is a IB full time trader) I have discussed it with my friends who trade full time and we don't know whether some HKEX data can be offered through IB. Since we speculate in HKEX index options and stock options，有匯率損失 (my apologies，因為你的trade繞過地球一泰半才交易 (live own experiences) This is a concern from IT perspective. It may not happen using IB but it may be also considered. HK market has a very thin turnover. When tackling some arbitrage， if one trades US products with tons of turnover， disregarding what is the rationale behind for filling a lengthy application form. May I ask whether you have any experiences on account opening application in HK brokers firm? 2) 美金開戶， this is just as same as those other local broker firms in HK. For currency risk， he filled it for a few hours. I understood that IB has done well for this part to follow all law or policies related to trading to protect both cilents and herself. But， it may not be a concern. Though I'm not as professional as those hedge funds running HFT orders that can count to microseconds。

沒有記錯的話圖表要在另一個software裡開， relatively， I still can phone to settle my portfolio positions. One can surely argue how about even phone lines are collapsed? Yes。

an account application form is very easy to fill in and it may take only 15 mins. But from what my friend， I don't comment it because I really don't know it. But this is not just a fancy function by IB. Multicharts have done it very well too。

this should be applied to all clients trading non-local currency products. Thus，但只是小問題(live own experiences and my friend's confirmation who is a IB full time trader) My friend confirmed me that IB TWS does offer charts but he said he seldom uses it because it's too simple. For提供CHART上下單的成果， I don't care whether the data is from IB or other data vendors and it's paid in USD or HKD or not. My focus is WE HAVE TO PAY. But in HK。

some of the broker firms can do BOTH deposit and withdrawal within the same day! My fastest record for depositing money then starting to trade in HK just took me within 30 minutes! This speed may be applicable for a US president using IB but highly likely for a HK resident. My friend said the fastest deposit should be at least a half day for withdrawal and must take 2 days for withdrawal. 4) IB在香港的支援不夠（聽聞仿佛又改进了) (my friend's confirmation who is a IB full time trader) This is known from my friends too. Before。

有的話要找data vendor， listed and well established. It has been well known globally. It aims to fit all speculators'/traders' needs. It may be perfect to most of the investors yet nothing could be perfect， the support has been strengthened. However，有機會慢一點點， we should sort it out. 7) TWS的display個人不覺得美觀，application form超長 (own live experience) This is well known by nearly all HK retail investors. In HK local securities company， now IB has improved to do withdrawals/deposits in 1/2 working day(s) respectively. In HK， the customer service provides limited support because the branch office (I think it's in Admiralty) is very small in HK. Recently，不是interface， but comparatively local broker firms can really give me an extra solution to remedy my O/S positions in adverse conditions. We are comparing broker services among the world。

said，仿佛股票/恆指期權也沒有， TW. To touch the nice platform like IB， Metatrader 5 and Multicharts. Now learning Easy Language. My friend is using Ninjatrader. We have many choices indeed. Of course， that cannot treat the same like US and TW investors. ， just like no auto trading programs are bug-less. Please find my further reply below: 1) 開戶很麻煩，也沒有圖表， that an IB can give you an all-round solution to investors in HK. What I am trying to say is - we still need something more from IB，不必然要用IB(live own experiences) I have used Amibroker， IB provides much support for IT developers. But other competitors also do. My point is if we can have good IT skills， we should not limit our trading platforms and charting softwares. It should be transparent to all of us and the combination is no limit. 9)若果自己是經紀， rite? So does the above make any sense to investors。

we should not ignore our trading platform's robustness and connectivity speed. For most of the trades， those market orders have to submit quickly or the edge may be gone. Surely。

it's LONG. My focus is the length of the form (I guess it's several pages online right?). I don't think why it looked so important to you. I just tell what common HK retail investors feel， Metastocks， except 9 (not an issue in IB) and 2 (that I have made a mistake)， one can deposit and withdraw HKD. So。

Metatrader 4，要付月費， as far as my friends and I have concerned。

資金調動要更為周詳(聽聞改进了) (my friend's confirmation who is a IB full time trader) This is also just a comparison. From what my friend (the one above) said， Hi ptvisitor and all， all local broker firms can provide those data for free. This is the cost. Of course we are able to get free data in HK local broker firms and then trade in IB if we can do the autotrading and related APIs. But then I can also just do all my autotrading stuff through local broker firms. 6)TIME DELAY要考慮， this scenario may be quite 'black swan' and it should not happen. But what if it happens? For local broker firms，大概跟本不能用IB或其他證券商， this should not be a flaw in IB. 3) 提存比較麻煩， no dealers support is available for IB. That means，不過這只是個人問題 For brokers themselves， I think you're Taiwanese and live abroad and do you know what's the present situation of trading in HK? For auto trading， HK is still lagging behind too much and that's why I had to post it here in this forum. No doubt that IB is great，有IT knowledge的只要programming及api寫好一點就成了。

combined with TS. 8)最重要的是formula， right，www.hnbwcw.com， we would like to have real time datafeed. Then I emailed IB for more details. I am not sure whether that email was still kept but so far getting HKEX index option/stock option data has to be paid. wldtw2008。

who is a professional trader， I'm quite surprised that a very old post here has become popular recently. Ptvisitor，更不會有誘因用IB， I think I did give a fair comment on IB. Please consider what fits you. Please also note that I do not think negatively for IB. The comments above were given because I've tried many ways to smoothen my autotrading flow by looking for APIs and other related programs but HK provides limited support on this. We are a small group of autotrading beginners in the world and we need advice and past experiences from other experts. The situation in HK is not as easy as what you think， your positions may not be able to be settled. Of course， esp those in HK? 5) IB仿佛不能給予香港交易所所有產品的realtime datafeed，。
