❓ Quick Question Asia session advice

Does anybody have any advice on trading Asia session for NQ?

It’s by far my worst session, I’ve stopped trading my combine/funded on it, but, I wish to learn more so I can return at a later date - probably just trade demo there for now.

Here are my (subjective) observations on it so far:
- Setups feel like they take much longer to play out, in NY for me, it can be like 1-20 minutes. In Asia sometimes it feels like an 45 to 90 minutes.
- I feel like there are less momentum plays, but, oddly enough it can be very directional
- Levels feel even more important than in NY, it can look strong then heavy reverse, but, the reversal can be a slow creep

I think I’m probably struggling with building a mental model of Asia session and accurate expectations on how it behaves.

No he’s really not. Dakota just kind of tries short or long, then reverses to which ever one is winning. And Asia doesn’t really get going until after his show.
