General Comments
HSBC Share Dealing is not very good for trading short term. It seems this was designed more for investments rather than active trading. Problems are many:
1. Randomly decides not to find a particular index
2. Slow to log on
3. Randomly takes you to a page different to one you clicked on from a direct link
4. limit orders only valid for a day
5. you cannot cancel limit orders online
6. you cannot place stop orders
7. order execution is slow
8. doesnt give you the live value of your investments
9. doesnt give you the percentage change of your investment and their current market value
