I am looking at this with interest but must admit I do not fully understand all just yet. Does Interactive Brokers charge a data fee for this exchange? I can get the futures data in TWS but I cannot get it to back-fill Amibroker because I believe the data is not being provided by TWS. Of course its Saturday Morning and that may be it as well but other symbols are being back-filled. This is the first time I tried a world market. Thanks for an interesting post.

Why don't you try the full size contract, i.e., HSI instead of MHI? The bundled commish on MHI is 34 HKD per round trip and it's worth 10 HKD per tick. So price has to move four ticks in your favor to break even.

With HSI, the commish is 60 HKD per round trip, but each tick is worth 50 HKD. So price only has to move two ticks in your favor to at least break even.

Better yet, go unbundled and you pay only 20.30 HKD per round trip for trading HSI, and 13.16 HKD for MHI. With unbundled, you need only one tick movement in your favor to break even with HSI, and three ticks with MHI.
