Hi @Eli Stern. Our sales team here at TT can help you find a broker that fist your needs. Send me your contact info and I'll hook you up.
OP, And remember, HHI moves in-sync with the HSI. It's like trading a 1/2 HSI contract Welcome to **THE BEST** trend trading contract in the world. Kiwi! Great to still see you around! I owe a lot to you and gb007 for helping me get started in futures trading (hanging around in the old 2003-2004 Woodie chat stream). [It's too bad most of you on ET don't know just how awesome a person and trader this man is.]
I think most futures brokers offer HSI right? I know my broker Cannon does but I believe it does cost extra for the data feed.
We have access to HSI and MSI. Will find the right solution based on customer's needs and experience.

AMP secretly increased the commissions for trading HSI by double since a month ago so avoid AMP if you want to trade HSI. This is what the ALL-IN commissions for HKEX products with AMP Futures used to look like a month ago: https://i.imgur.com/5s2gqRH.png Hang Seng Index - $1.96/side ($3.92/RT) mini Hang Seng Index - $1.07/side ($2.14/RT) Hang Seng China Ent. Index - $1.13/side ($2.26/RT) Mini Hang Seng China Ent. Index - $0.88/side ($1.76/RT) This is what the ALL-IN commissions for HKEX products with AMP Futures looks like today: https://i.imgur.com/bxVExFz.png Hang Seng Index - 30HKD/side or ~$3.90/side ($7.80/RT) mini Hang Seng Index - 17HKD/side or ~$2.20/side ($4.40/RT) Hang Seng China Ent. Index - 20HKD/side or ~$2.60/side ($5.20/RT) Mini Hang Seng China Ent. Index - 20HKD/side or ~$2.60/side ($5.20/RT) Under the previous rate, you could cover the round trip commission of $3.92 after 1 tick with the HSI. Now it requires 2 ticks. With the mini Hang Seng Index, it's even worse. Previously you could cover the round trip commission of $2.14 after 2 ticks. Now it requires 4 ticks. And it's a total rip-off that they're charging the same commissions for both HHI and the mini-version of the HHI. You'd have to cover a whole 5 ticks for the mini-hangseng china ent. index just to break even; whereas before, you were just below breakeven merely after 1 tick. --------------------- AMP's new HKEX commissions rates are directly copied from Interactive Broker's FIXED commissions rate for HKEX futures, as you can see for yourself here: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=1590&p=futures1 But the thing is, if you decide to use Interactive Brokers' TIERED commissions rate for HKEX futures, even the lowest-volume tier is cheaper than their FIXED rate (and likewise, AMP's rate). https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=1590&p=futures2 For example, you can see that for the lowest volume tier at IB (the most expensive tier fyi), the commissions are Hang Seng Index - 8.50HKD + 10HKD (exchange fee) + 0.54HKD (regulatory fee) = 19.04HKD/side or ~$2.44/RT ($4.88/RT) mini Hang Seng Index - 8.50HKD + 3.50HKD (exchange fee) + 0.10HKD (regulatory fee) = 12.10HKD/side or ~$1.55/RT ($3.10/RT) Hang Seng China Ent. Index - 8.50HKD + 3.50HKD (exchange fee) + 0.54HKD (regulatory fee) = 12.54HKD/side or ~$1.60/RT ($3.20/RT) Mini Hang Seng China Ent. Index - 8.50HKD + 2.00HKD (exchange fee) + 0.10HKD (regulatory fee) = 10.60HKD/side or ~$1.36/RT ($2.72/RT) I actually confirmed these figures with an Interactive Brokers agent over the phone b/c it made no sense why the lowest volume TIER-based commissions would be much cheaper than their FIXED-based commissions but apparently it is what it is. If you're going to trade any of the mini-products along with HSI, definitely don't use AMP since their commissions for the mini-HSI and mini-HHI are an absolute rip-off now. If you're going to trade just the HSI, just know that you'll be paying 60HKD/RT at AMP versus 38.08HKD/RT at Interactive Brokers under the lowest-volume tier. That's a 57.5% more expensive rate you'd be paying at AMP versus IB. For the next-lowest-volume tier, it goes all the way down to 31.08HKD/RT. That's a 93% more expensive rate you'd be paying at AMP versus IB. If you hate IB's TWS platform, you can use a futures platform like SierraChart with IB as your brokerage which is what I do for trading HKEX futures. For CME and Eurex futures, I just stick with AMP.
