Forex trading sessions in Kazakhstan time
In short: In Kazakhstan time (UTC+5) the Asian session runs roughly 05:00–14:00, London 13:00–22:00 in winter (12:00–21:00 in summer) and New York 18:00–03:00 in winter (17:00–02:00 in summer). The most active window is the London–New York overlap.
Why the times shift
The UK and the US switch to daylight saving time; Kazakhstan does not. So in summer the European and American sessions start an hour earlier in local time.
When a beginner should trade
For EUR/USD — from the London open to the end of the overlap with New York: the evening in Kazakhstan. The Asian session often forms a narrow range whose edges become liquidity reference points.
