Post From: Hang Seng Index intraday chart just blank

Personally I trade HSI futures every day and at various points I've subscribed to the index (interactive brokers). I've also checked that IB's is the same as other sources (it is).

My conclusion over the years has been that it adds no value. Futures can and does diverge from it in interesting, unpredictable ways and arbitrage seems best left to the locals so I run a Python script to collect eod index data but no longer bother with intraday.

If you were going to use components to attempt to develop a market internals view that might be worth while. Not my thing but useful for some styles of trading.
