- Russia late morning (starts waking up)
- Respond to overnight UK leads

**Afternoon (1 PM - 5 PM UAE):**
- Russia active (12-4 PM Moscow time)
- Pakistan still active
- UK starts waking up (9 AM-1 PM UK time)

**Evening (5 PM - 10 PM UAE):**
- **UK PRIME TIME** (1-6 PM UK time) - MOST UK LEADS HERE
- Russia evening (still some activity)
- Pakistan winding down

**Reality Check:**
- You'll need to work 9 AM - 10 PM UAE time (13 hours)

When to Pivot

**Pause a country if:**

**Double down if:**
