Background:

This suspends after the Asian markets have closed, half an hour before the European markets do, and early in the Americas trading day.

Asia : Nikkei 225 (^N225), Hang Seng (^HSI), Straits Times (^STI) and BSE Sensex (^BSESN)
Europe: DAX (^GDAXI), CAC 40 (^FCHI), MIBTel (^MIBTEL) and FTSE 100 (^FTSE)
Americas: Dow Jones Industrial (^DJI), TSX (^GSPTSE), MerVal (^MERV), and NASDAQ (^IXIC)

The codes can be found/used at finance.yahoo.com

Initial odds set by approximating a gentle bell curve over the equal distribution for the 13 possible outcomes.


Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source. Preferred source: finance.yahoo.com

Not settled until after all markets final reportings - ie 2:20 pm PST
If any index is not active because of holiday etc, then it does not count toward UP tally.
