Hello. I wanted to give the heads up that IB has introduced the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (SEHKNTL), which enables its customers with access to HKEX to be able to trade Shanghai A shares on the shanghai stock exchange. The shanghai market is hugely liquid eg today bank of china traded 1.2 billion shares today, almost 600M usd in volume. Here are some pointers.
1. IB exchange code is SEHKNTL
2. Currency is CNH, so you may have to add CNH support.
3. All ticker symbols are numbers. For example, Bank of China ticker is 601988.
Regarding number ticker symbols, I would like to point out another problem concerning the Tokyo Stock exchange(tsej). All TSEJ stocks load IB historical data fine but the charts simply do not update. I've tried changing the routing to one of the ecns as well as a workaround to the default TSEJ routing but the problem remains. This lack of number ticker support may well carry over into the SEHKNTL.
A similar problem happens on London Stock exchange stocks like GL and all the rest as well. They load the historical data just fine but simply do not update.
Please look into these issues for a more rocksolid platform.
Thank you.
