The historical data can be used for both technical and fundamental analysis, though it is more geared more towards technical analysis. What is Technical Analysis? It is a method for predicting future price movements in stocks based on previous stock movements. The many technical indicators traders use can include RSI (relative strength index), moving averages, regressions, MACD, just to name a few. All these indicators rely on stock prices, price changes, and volume changes. This information is available in the metastock data provided. Metastock data is of the form:
Symbol, Date, Open Price, High Price, Low Price, Closing Price and Volume

Once you've developed your trading model, you can back test it against the HKEX Historical Stock Data

The data can be downloaded in its raw form, or with adjusted closing prices for dividends and stock splits.
