Every spelling, grouped
Measured on broker pages, TradingView broker feeds and live MetaTrader servers. MetaTrader matches symbol names exactly, including case, so JP225 and JP225m are two different symbols on the platform even though they are the same market.

What the underlying market is
Every name above tracks the Nikkei 225, the price-weighted index of 225 companies listed in Tokyo. CME Group lists a dollar-denominated Nikkei future under the root NKD.
Cash or futures?
The cash Nikkei only prints during Tokyo exchange hours, while broker CFDs trade much longer. Outside Tokyo hours a cash JP225 CFD moves with the futures market. A futures-priced CFD such as JPN225-F quotes the futures level at all times.
How the RB Trading Pro Journal handles it
The RB Trading Pro Journal reads JP225, JPN225, NIKKEI, JP225m, .JP225Cash and the rest as the Nikkei 225. A cash CFD is priced live at the cash Nikkei level, and outside Tokyo hours that level keeps moving with the Nikkei future, as your broker's CFD does. A futures CFD reads the futures price.
Trades arrive by hand, by file import, or live from MT4 and MT5 and cTrader, in whatever spelling your broker uses. You never rename a symbol to get a live price or a correct R.
Journal your JP225 trades under any name
Log trades by hand, import a file, or live-sync MetaTrader and cTrader. The Journal recognises your broker's spelling and prices open trades live.

How this page was built: spellings come from brokers' and prop firms' own help pages and notices, from the broker feeds on TradingView, and from a public dataset of 13,740 symbol names read from 241 live MetaTrader 4 and 5 servers (metatraderVPS/metatrader-broker-symbols, CC BY 4.0). A broker is named only where one of those sources shows it. Brokers rename symbols from time to time, so check your own platform's symbol list if a name here does not match.
