Just realized most traders get confused about when US markets actually open in Pakistan time. Let me break it down because this matters for anyone trading across zones. NYSE opens at 7:30 PM PKT, which is pretty late if you're checking from Karachi. If you want to catch the opening bell for US stocks, you're looking at evening trading here. The market runs until 2 AM the next morning in our time, so it's definitely a night shift thing. Meanwhile, if you're into Asian markets, ASX kicks off at 5 AM PKT - that's early but doable. Europe's Frankfurt opens around 1 PM, and our own PSX runs the standard 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The thing is, most people don't realize how staggered these are. You can literally trade something different every few hours if you're disciplined about it. Timing is everything in this game - knowing when each market opens in your local time makes the difference between catching moves and sleeping through them. Are you tracking multiple markets or just focused on one timezone?
