You can also open a fund-raising account in China, and you can operate it for 5000 yuan. The handling fee is about HK$ 50-HK$ 60 bilaterally. If it is too high, the middleman is fooling you, and his cost price is generally within 40 Hong Kong dollars.

The Hang Seng Index trades 20 times a day, which is a very common short-term trading. If the handling fee is too high (for example, 200 Hong Kong dollars for bilateral transactions, 20 times a day, the handling fee will be as high as 4,000, and the broker will earn you a commission of 3,200 Hong Kong dollars a day. I don't know if you can make money after a hard day's trading, but brokers will make a lot of money.
