(e.g. RSI, Bollinger Bands, Simple/Weighted/Exponential Moving Average, DMI, MACD, OBV, Price Performance, Stochastics and William %R, etc.) that enable users to make smarter investment decision.

Market Calendar helps you to easily access comprehensive information covering both macro market overview and individual local stocks under different time horizons. Data from specific time horizon (i.e. Today Focus, Daily, Weekly and Monthly) can be generated by simply clicking the user-friendly Calendar Frame. Investors can have better insight and market timing ability in the stock market by studying data under various pre-defined reports such as:

Investors can look into the prices of the commodities to help in judging the reasonable value and price movements of related stocks. Historically, commodities generally rise in a faster pace than the stock market when the economy is having a positive turnaround in the initial recovery period. Moreover, commodity market has a very low correlation with the stock market, and thus, commodities can serve as good diversification tools in an investment portfolio.

Sometimes, a clearer picture about the trend of the stock market can be observed through various data in the derivative market (e.g. options, futures, warrants, etc.) and the cash market. Trading summaries of stocks and warrants shown in the "Constituents Performance", "Top 30 Stocks" and "Top 30 Warrants" could give you further understanding of the price performances in different indexes and information about some hot stocks in the market. In addition, reminders about the release date for HK/US economic data also alert you about the upcoming variables in the market.

More importantly, the analytical data contained in the "Turnover Analysis" and "Derivatives Summary" provides you rich information about the overall stock market. Market turnaround can be more easily observed from the overall picture of these data, together with other technical and fundamental figures. Now, Put/Call Ratio analysis is shown within the "Turnover Analysis". It is used to measure market sentiment. When the ratio is too low, it indicates that the market may be overly bullish, and vice versa.

This phenomenon can sometimes be observed from the options market in Hong Kong and related information can be found in "Options Market" under "Turnover Analysis". The Put/Call Ratio here is calculated by a dollar-weighted method. It is constructed by using not only the volume of the various options, instead, it is computed by multiplying the volume and price. The Put/Call Ratio is derived from this formula: P/C Ratio = (The total of the product for all put options / The total of the product for all call options). The main difference between the "normal" and weighted ratios is that the weighted put-call ratio generates more extreme figures, especially at major turning points.

Apart from the options market, data about warrant issuers" trading records in the warrant market can also be found in the "Derivatives Market" under "Turnover Analysis". Sometimes the warrant issuers might have an advantage in market information and expertise; it was found that the Put/Call Ratio may be applied in opposite way as the contrarian. In other words, when the trading turnover in put is higher than in call warrants, the specific stocks or index tend to perform with bearish (or bullish) trend, and vice versa.

Data from securities buyback, short selling and substantial transactions helps you to assess the intrinsic value of a stock through some large numbers share transactions which are usually conducted by someone who have more complete information about a company.

Securities Buyback are transactions made by the listed companies themselves through buying back their own shares from the stock market, and afterwards, those repurchased shares will be cancelled on the book of the companies" account. Companies tend to repurchase their shares when they have excess funds on hand that has no other alternative use (e.g. attractive investment projects ahead) or just for some strategic purposes. Moreover, the management of listed companies usually take this action when they think that the market price of their shares are undervalued in the market or trading at lower price than its book value.

Consequently, securities buyback can usually serve to increase the net asset book value per share.

Short Selling activity is limited to certain authorized entities in Hong Kong. Furthermore, not all of the listed securities can have short-sell positions in the market. Instead, only a portion of designated securities in Hong Kong can have short-sell positions.

Markets or stocks that have no short-selling mechanism will more easily lead to upward bias. In general, short-selling activities serve to drive overvalued stock market prices back to a reasonable price. Short-selling activities do not necessarily mean a negative signal to a stock because it may be only due to some portfolio adjustment or arbitrage opportunities. However, some negative signal about a stock"s price may appear when the amount of short-selling shared a exceptionally high percentage of its total trading turnover or it shared an increasing and significant percentage from time to time.

The validity of such kind of signals can be further confirmed by other technical and fundamental indicators. Of course, from the contrarian"s point of view, huge accumulated stock short positions can be a buy signal if the prices of stocks have already corrected to an attractive level, especially when the market sentiment has improved and previous short-sellers need to settle the short positions with long positions afterwards.

Substantial Transactions can show some exceptionally large amount of transactions as released from The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. Currently, any volume per transaction (in shares) that exceeds the maximum board lot per transaction of any particular security will be provided with its related price and volume here. Thus, investors can detect and judge whether there are some trading anomalies that may imply some buy or sell signals.

For shareholders who hold more than 5% of a listed company, the increase and decrease of his/her shareholding would be revealed in this section, whose action may tell stories of the listed companies.
