Free (Trial?) Access to HKE?

[lastninja2 10]

Hi there,

 

I'm interested in taking a look at some of the wild index products of HKE...

Hang Seng Index & H-Shares Index, particularly.

 

Perhaps someone is aware of a datafeed trial that I could snag for free, for 2 weeks etc?

 

It's easy enough to get temporary free access to CME... but HKE, anyone?

 

Thanks.

if you are outside of hk, the only convenient place you can trade hsi is through interactivebrokers. the hke subscription is cheap... i think it is US$15 or something like that. there is no contract, and you can sign up and sign off anytime.

thanks Tams

 

I've been doing some ongoing forum searches and seems IB are the only viable option, to trade.

 

Trouble with IB is , they have such tight restrictions on rates of message submission to exchanges. So be it,

 

was worth asking anyway

Hello,

 

Haven't been on there in a while, but http://www.prorealtime.com might be worth a look - they certainly have a pretty international scope and free trial, plus the platform is streaming so there's no need to install anything.

 

Hope that's of some help,

interesting,

but alas, apparently no access to king kong / hong kong.

but it did give me the idea to check spread betting firms (UK)

To my surprise they do offer King kong products.

Charts even go down to the 1 second granularity, albeit max lookup is 15 minutes - pah.

altho... imagine trying to make money with these spreads, with anything less than a trade lasting weeks if not months.

 

No wonder it's tax free. Government wouldn't have anything to collect.
