FREE GLOBAL MARKET RADAR
Watch Tokyo first; keep Hong Kong and global markets in view

Follow overseas moves before Hong Kong’s market morning. Radar combines price signals, market activity and opening/closing countdowns in your current timezone—even when you travel.

NIKKEI 225 CHALLENGE · MONDAY 08:00 HKT

Why follow the Nikkei 225 Challenge?

Every Monday, Matthew trades the Nikkei 225 on a one-minute chart, often in less-than-ideal market conditions. Tokyo opens at 08:00 HKT year-round, before HKEX’s 09:00 pre-opening session and 09:30 continuous trading. Follow the live process, then prepare for Hong Kong.

Follow him over weeks and months to see how he gets on when the market isn’t making things easy. The livestreams and public Trading Record include the difficult sessions as well as the better results.

The Challenge uses a demo account. Weekly results and replays are published in the Trading Record.

Built by Matthew Jackson, it’s designed to stay open beside your charts throughout your trading session.

  • Price Action: Candle-based volatility signals across eight timeframes, highlighting new closing highs and lows.
  • Participation: Unusually high or low tick activity across four short-term timeframes.
  • Market countdowns: Time to the next opening or closing event, shown in your timezone.
  • A global snapshot: Your chosen markets together, with market status, holidays and alerts close at hand.

Prop Firm Offer Finder

Filter more than 140,000 possible combinations by firm, programme, account size and conditions before comparing the final rules.

Compound Interest Calculator

Model starting capital, regular contributions, time and assumed returns in the browser. It is free and requires no email address or account.

BROKER RESEARCH

Check the SFC and your actual country of residence

Hong Kong residents should match the account company and activity to the SFC register. The SFC’s actively-markets guidance also addresses providers based outside Hong Kong. The FP Markets partner route remains explicitly for traders living outside Hong Kong where the service is permitted.

GradTraders Partner

FP Markets

Research FP Markets’ platforms and group entities through our review and its Hong Kong-facing Chinese-language material. Overseas-resident readers should check their current residence, actual contracting company and client protections before applying.

GradTraders Partner

IC Markets

Compare platforms, automation and total costs through our research. A foreign group licence does not establish a Hong Kong-regulated account or permission to actively market a service locally.

GradTraders Partner

Plus500

Explore our Plus500 research as a proprietary-platform comparison where the relevant service is permitted in your residence. This page does not offer a Hong Kong-resident Plus500 signup route.

Go beyond the three partner examples

Our broker research compares 24 providers across 50 fields. Investigate platforms, costs, support, deposits and withdrawals, then read the account documents for the service available to you.

PROP-FIRM RESEARCH

Four approaches to compare before paying for an evaluation

Compare four simulated evaluation models around the Asian, European or US hours you can trade. Check programme-level country rules, daily-loss resets, news restrictions, fees and payout conditions rather than choosing by account size alone.

GradTraders Partner

FTMO

Use FTMO as the benchmark for objectives and loss limits, then compare platforms, permitted strategies and rewards. Its published HK50.cash update provides a Hong Kong-market research angle; check the current symbol and programme specifications.

GradTraders Partner

The5ers

Compare its progression and scaling approach alongside FTMO. Research the drawdown calculation, trading conditions and reward rules for the particular programme.

GradTraders code: UR06YMJ — check current checkout conditions.

GradTraders Partner

Funded Trading Plus

Explore its choice of simulated programmes. Compare the exact loss limits, fees and reward rules with the other approaches rather than choosing by account size alone.

GradTraders code: GRADTRADERS10 — check current checkout conditions.

GradTraders Partner

E8 Markets

Compare programme structures, platforms and trading rules. Check the specific programme’s current eligibility, drawdown and reward conditions before paying.

Confirm residency eligibility, platform access and payment conditions for the programme before purchase. Simulated account sizes are not cash you own, and evaluation fees can be lost.

SOFTWARE & TRADING TOOLS

Build a workflow for local and global markets

Keep Hang Seng, Hong Kong shares and overseas markets together. Historical testing, a trading journal and compatible automation serve different needs; hosting is useful when your application needs to stay running.

GradTraders Partner

TradingView

Research Hong Kong shares and indices alongside Nikkei and global charts. Check the exchange-data subscription and whether the particular feed is live or delayed.

GradTraders Partner

Forex Tester

Practise and test an idea across historical data before taking it into a live market. Check the symbols, data coverage and features of the Online or Desktop product you intend to use.

GradTraders Partner

TraderSync

Bring entries, exits, screenshots and recurring mistakes together. Review your own decisions over a larger sample and check import support for your broker and platform.

GradTraders Partner

EA Builder Pro

Turn defined trading rules into an Expert Advisor without hand-coding it. For a compatible MT4 or MT5 workflow, test the rules and account restrictions before running automation.

GradTraders Partner

ForexVPS.net

ForexVPS publishes a Hong Kong hosting location. Compare measured latency to your actual broker server, plan resources and support instead of assuming a local city guarantees the best connection.

GradTraders Partner

FXVM

Compare a second hosting provider for compatible trading software. Check location, measured latency, memory and support against the requirements of the application you will run.

Behind the broker research is a database of 24 providers and 50 comparison fields, covering platforms, support, deposits, withdrawals and more.

THE CHALLENGE AND PUBLIC TRADING RECORD

Follow the trades beyond the final result

Use the replay checkpoints to inspect a trade as it unfolds, then connect that session to the weekly Trading Record.

Tokyo’s Monday 09:00 cash open is Monday 08:00 HKT throughout the year. The stream starts shortly beforehand. On normal full trading days, HKEX’s securities pre-opening session runs 09:00–09:30 and continuous trading starts at 09:30. Watch Tokyo’s process first; its result is not a forecast for Hong Kong shares. Check the separate exchange calendars.

Three public checkpoints from the Trading RecordOpen the same public replay at three points to review the developing trade, the changing open P/L and the final result.
Nikkei 225 Challenge · Trading Record15:30
Position still developingReview the trade before the outcome is known instead of seeing only the finished result.
Nikkei 225 Challenge · Trading Record30:00
Open P/L changesSee how the position is managed while the result is still moving rather than jumping to the close.
Nikkei 225 Challenge · Trading Record38:00
Final resultReview the result near the end of the stream, then connect it to the weekly Trading Record entry.

These are YouTube preview images from the same public replay, not stills captured at each timestamp. Each card opens the exact 15:30, 30:00 or 38:00 point in context.

HONG KONG

Make the research part of your trading routine

Prepare for HKEX and the Hong Kong dollar

Start with HKEX hours and HKEXnews disclosures, then use HKMA’s linked-exchange-rate explanation and economic data for context. Follow Tokyo at 08:00 HKT before the Hong Kong morning. Radar keeps the overseas background in view; a journal helps review your own decisions.

Check the account company and the regulated activity

Search the exact company and permitted activity in the SFC register. The SFC says overseas providers actively marketing a regulated service to Hong Kong’s public may need the relevant local licence or registration. Website access or a Chinese interface does not replace the entity check. Prop-firm evaluations and software are separate from brokerage accounts.

DISCLOSURE & RISK

Important risk information

GradTraders provides general education and research, not personal financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Some links and banners are commercial partner placements; GradTraders may earn a commission from an eligible purchase or account opening at no additional cost to the reader. Commercial relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions.

CFDs are complex leveraged instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly. Check the provider’s current risk disclosure, residency eligibility and legal entity before opening an account. Prop-firm evaluations have separate fees and rules; evaluation fees can be lost.

The Nikkei 225 Challenge uses a demo account with a defined £200 simulated risk budget. Simulated performance and advertised evaluation account sizes are not cash owned by the trader or a promise of future results.

GradTraders Hong Kong FAQs

When is the Nikkei 225 Challenge in Hong Kong?

Tokyo’s Monday 09:00 cash open is Monday 08:00 HKT throughout the year. The stream starts shortly beforehand. On normal full trading days, HKEX’s securities pre-opening session runs 09:00–09:30 and continuous trading starts at 09:30. Watch Tokyo’s process first; its result is not a forecast for Hong Kong shares. Check the separate exchange calendars.

Is Global Market Radar free?

Yes. The market overview, candle-based signals, tick-activity indicators and session countdowns are free. The full guide explains the data and limitations.

What does the research bank cover?

Explore over 150 articles covering brokers, prop firms, trading software, trading guides and more. The broker database covers 24 providers and 50 comparison fields.

How do I investigate the broker behind the account?

Search the exact company and permitted activity in the SFC register. The SFC says overseas providers actively marketing a regulated service to Hong Kong’s public may need the relevant local licence or registration. Website access or a Chinese interface does not replace the entity check. Prop-firm evaluations and software are separate from brokerage accounts.

How do I compare prop-firm programmes?

Compare four simulated evaluation models around the Asian, European or US hours you can trade. Check programme-level country rules, daily-loss resets, news restrictions, fees and payout conditions rather than choosing by account size alone. Confirm residency eligibility, platform access and payment conditions for the programme before purchase. Simulated account sizes are not cash you own, and evaluation fees can be lost.

Do I need a trading VPS?

Not every trader needs one. A VPS can keep compatible trading applications running when your computer is off. Choose by software requirements and measured latency to your trading server.

Does the Challenge use real money?

The Nikkei 225 Challenge uses a demo account with a defined £200 simulated risk budget. Simulated performance and advertised evaluation account sizes are not cash owned by the trader or a promise of future results.

Does GradTraders provide personal investment advice?

No. GradTraders provides general education and research, not personal financial, investment, tax or legal advice.

The GradTraders Research Bank

GradTraders was built from the research outward. Before the website and its articles, I developed a comprehensive broker research bank examining 24 brokers across six interconnected layers of detailed evidence, covering trading platforms, real costs and execution, international regulation, account reliability, withdrawals, reputation, investor protections and market access.

That foundation has grown into an extensive library of original comparisons, investigations and practical trading resources, supported by an ongoing commitment to verify, challenge and expand the underlying research — uncovering meaningful differences, exposing overlooked limitations and producing insights that go well beyond conventional trading reviews.
