Every spelling, grouped
Measured on broker pages, TradingView broker feeds and live MetaTrader servers. MetaTrader matches symbol names exactly, including case, so HK50 and HK50m are two different symbols on the platform even though they are the same market.

What the underlying market is
Every name above tracks the Hang Seng Index, the benchmark for the Hong Kong stock market, priced in Hong Kong dollars.
Cash or futures?
A cash HK50 CFD tracks the cash Hang Seng in Hong Kong exchange hours and follows the future outside them. Pepperstone's HK50-F is a forward priced from the front-month future instead.
The trap to watch for
The number lies here too. HKG33, HONGKONG33 and HK33HKD are the Hang Seng under an old name, not a 33 stock index.
CHINAH is not the Hang Seng, and not China A50. IC Markets and Pepperstone list CHINAH and Capital.com lists HSHARES: both are the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (H-shares). China A50 is a third index again, under names like CN50 or CHINA50. HSTECH (Pepperstone) is the Hang Seng TECH index, also separate.
How the RB Trading Pro Journal handles it
The RB Trading Pro Journal reads HK50, HSI, HKG33, HK33HKD, HK50.cash and the rest as the Hang Seng and prices it live at the cash index level. CHINAH, China A50 names and HSTECH are each read as their own market, so a China H-shares trade is never priced off the Hang Seng.
Trades arrive by hand, by file import, or live from MT4 and MT5 and cTrader, in whatever spelling your broker uses. You never rename a symbol to get a live price or a correct R.
Journal your HK50 trades under any name
Log trades by hand, import a file, or live-sync MetaTrader and cTrader. The Journal recognises your broker's spelling and prices open trades live.

How this page was built: spellings come from brokers' and prop firms' own help pages and notices, from the broker feeds on TradingView, and from a public dataset of 13,740 symbol names read from 241 live MetaTrader 4 and 5 servers (metatraderVPS/metatrader-broker-symbols, CC BY 4.0). A broker is named only where one of those sources shows it. Brokers rename symbols from time to time, so check your own platform's symbol list if a name here does not match.
