Deposit & Withdrawal

On CHCF, payments are made through Chong Hing Bank transfers. Clients need to uphold the margin requirements in their portfolios or follow their specified instructions, as CHCF can exercise rights over the funds in the clients' designated settlement accounts held at Chong Hing Bank before placing any orders. Clients must ensure enough available margin in their designated account for trade of futures contracts.

For withdrawals from futures accounts, clients should notify the Sales Department staff at CHCF and personally visit the head office or branches to fill the 'Client Fund Withdrawal Request Form'. Typically, fund withdrawal requests are processed on the next working day.

CHCF's margin trading is quite restrictive. Typically, my options positions are automatically closed two hours before the market closes, resulting in losses. A lot can happen in those two hours, but it seems like they always expect customers to incur losses. For buy-and-hold investors, be aware that if there's no trading activity within six months, the broker charges a hefty $100 inactivity fee.

So, last December with CHCF wasn't great. I had a hard time getting my money – withdrawals took forever. And to top it off, I couldn't even log in for a week. It was a real headache.
