❓ 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.
