How does it work?

The goal to achive here is to see if you could predict market movement in a daily basis.  Every day you make predictions about currency pairs (e.g. EURUSD) and equidity index (e.g., FTSE100).  You need to predict whether it will go UP or DOWN from the price level at the  time of your prediction till the next market closing.  If you making prediction during a trading day,  the next market closing will be 4:30pm UK time.  For non-trading day, it will be the end of next trading day.  We use the same closing time of equity market for FX market although FX market trading nearly around the clock.
