The figure below shows typical night flats. The image is not the best for the given strategy but this choice is intentional. The night flat boundaries are quite vague. We can say that for EURCHF the flat starts at 18:00-20:00 and ends at 10:00-14:00 server time. We will take it as the period from 18:00 to 10:00.
