    Best HK bank to do investment trading for US Stocks? Low fees?

    Hi guys,

    I'm currently with HSBC Premier, and wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations on any other banks that have low trading fees - in particular for buying US stocks and options?

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    From what I have gathered HK banks are all expensive

    I believe most of us here use online trading platforms such as etrade, interactive brokers etc.

    Choose one that is technically reliable and preferably as an office here or very good customer service when it comes to step one: opening an account as a lot of paperwork is involved these days

    Thinkorswim for US stocks and options , Interactive Brokers for everything else.

    Do not touch TOS for FX, disgusting spreads.

    I like Schwab, USA. They are in HK too.

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys! So I can apply for investment accounts, even though I'm a HK Citizen, and will be trading here in HK? Most of the sites mentioned above are all American trading platforms. Just want to make sure it works for a HK citizen as well too.

    Thanks again!

    Why you need a bank?

    US$1/100 shares
    US$1/stock options

    I suggest you google for a rating of online brokerages, then make your choice

    Definitely not with TOS, would call Interactive who have an office in HK to ask.
