Which company has fast, reliable data to trade HK future, emini in asia countries?

So is there anyone trading S&P emini in asia?

Since its so far away, the connection speed, and reliability is a big issue.

interactive brokers

but they are really only suited to competent traders. Zero hand holding.

you are quick to reply.

Actually im using IB, forgot to post need a broker other than IB.

The reason is IB's data are all snap shot, i need some realtime data tick by tick.

So you are using IB for asia future?

E Signal carries that data, but I'm not sure if its available in Asia.

Yea i know.
But the main issue is how is the speed when im accessing the data from CME when im oversea, like HK, japan.

So a company serving that region and has S&P should be better. Or someone trading it in asia should know better.

I was using esignal for various asian futures and found it no issue for me. The speed was fine. How fast do you need it?

I'd say re-conciser IB. Do you really need to see every single tick? Very few trading techniques really do. Even if you prefer constant tick charts by selecting a slightly lower value for the constant number of ticks you can get charts that look pretty much the same. Of course if you are doing some sort of advanced order book analytics then you might really need an un aggregated feed. IB data is aggregated rather than snapshot so you get to see every contract traded, so constant volume charts are fine with IB data.

Im also slightly confused do you want to trade HK futures from around the world or do you want to trade CME products from Asia? Sounds like both. IB is a great solution anyway having major computer centres in North America, Europe, and Asia. You can set up TWS to connect to which you prefer.

Show me ONE broker or datafeed that does not use snap shot.





... even the exchange aggregate their data. LOL
CME "improved" the aggregate rate recently, and sent everybody into a tail spin.
