1. Basic Process of Platform Setup

Regulatory Licensing: Generally requires establishing a licensed entity overseas (e.g., in Hong Kong, Singapore, or the U.S.) and obtaining relevant brokerage licenses

System Setup: Build and configure a trading system that supports U.S. and Hong Kong stock trading, covering modules such as market data, order placement, risk control, and client management

Operational System Development: Includes KYC/AML compliance systems, customer service systems, CRM integration, and user-side trading interfaces
