How to use the online alarm clock
You are following the Asian exchanges while Tokyo is already trading, but at 1:56 am you need a firm cue to break away from the screens. An alarm at this time marks the final check before 2:00 am, helping you stop watching each new movement and leave the desk when planned.
Market charts can push the alarm page into the background, where the browser may reduce its activity or block sound that has not been permitted. Check the volume and allow audio before returning to the trading window. Because this alarm depends on the browser continuing to run, it cannot pull you away from Tokyo trading after the page is closed or the computer has gone to sleep.
Once the Tokyo check is finished, protect the sleep that remains by making the route back to bed short and quiet. Before 1:56 am, dim any extra screens, place a brief note beside the keyboard for unfinished observations, and keep later notifications muted. That gives the night session a clear endpoint without turning the next few minutes into another round of chart checking.
Common questions
Can I use the same feature on a phone?
You can use the page on a smartphone and follow the countdown until 1:56 am. The browser may lose permission to stay active once the phone locks or another app takes over, which can suppress the audio, so a mains-powered desktop or laptop is the more reliable choice when the reminder is important.
Will the alarm still sound after I close this tab?
No. An alarm set for 1:56 am runs within the open webpage, so closing its tab or exiting the browser stops it. You can move to another tab or minimise the browser while you work; just keep the alarm page loaded.
If I close the tab, will the alarm still go off?
Closing the tab cancels the alarm because the timer for 1:56 am is handled by that page, not by your device as a separate system alarm. Leaving the page open in the background is fine, even if another tab is on screen.
Does closing the browser tab stop the alarm from ringing?
The page must remain open for the 1:56 am alarm to sound. Switching tabs, minimising the window, or using another application will not end it, but closing the alarm tab or quitting the browser will.
