Finally got all the global market timings straight in my head. If you're trading from Pakistan, here's what you need to know – the US stock market open time in Pakistan is around 7:30 PM PKT, which honestly catches a lot of people off guard. NYSE closes at 2:00 AM the next morning for us, so it's basically an overnight thing.

For context, Australia opens at 5:00 AM and closes at 11:00 AM our time. Europe comes alive at 1:00 PM, then the US kicks in at 7:30 PM. Our own PSX runs from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The tricky part is catching the overlap windows – like when both Europe and US are trading, or when Asia and Europe overlap.

I used to miss so many moves just because I didn't have the timings right. Now I've got it pinned down. If you're serious about trading across different markets, knowing exactly when each one opens and closes in your local time is half the battle. Timing really is everything in this game.
