OREANDA-NEWS. HKEx Introduces 3-month Free Trial Market Data Promotion Programme. 

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) has introduced a major three-month trial programme that runs from now until 31 October 2016 to promote its market data.

The scheme includes real-time data and historical data from HKEx's markets in Hong Kong.

Real-time data

HKEx is offering a three-month free trial of premium and fulltick datafeeds for its securities and derivatives markets for new direct connection end-users.  The data is restricted to programme participants' internal use and participants must meet HKEx's "new client" requirements.

Historical data

HKEx also is offering a three-month free trial of its historical "full book" securities and derivatives data to new clients which have not purchased the historical "full book" data in the past 12 months.

The programme is designed to demonstrate the value of the market data it covers to market participants that are not using the data currently and potential market participants.

"This free trial will help market participants and potential market participants that join the programme appreciate the value of the market data we offer and gain a deeper understanding of the many investment and risk management possibilities available through our markets," said Winnie Poon, Head of Market Data, at HKEx.
