    easiest time to trade. I only trade the oriental session. If you got a fantastic system and are satisfied with 10-20 pips per night then its the safest time to trade. Most I ever lost was 10 pips in this session.
    I'm with you ProdiG,
    Asia is easy to trade. Asia doesn't often reverse. It does behave different though. The momentum is S L O W.
    I needed to learn to be patient and not overly greedy but now I pad my account and there using Asia quite successfully.

    Find a transfer of about 30 pips movement in the Asian market. Grab a bite.

    P.S. many often the GBP/USD and the JPY/USD move the best.

    Yes, I have a trade which is dependent upon the equilibrium of the Asian timeframe...
    There is always a way to find advantages in trading anything the markets can toss at us... The key is to adapt.

    I have to get an Asia centered strategy, since my alternative is to stay up all night. That's not so great, because I need to leave work 6:30-7 am MST.

    But I actually like the idea of a slower market at least while I am getting a deal on trading.

    I have heard that the Asian sesion has been choppy. Never checked it out, myself.

    Try using styles / systems suited to a trading market in those hours.

    I read all of those things from the novels and Vegas about Asian chop chop and remained away. I'm sorry I did. I have discovered that it can be very profitable. No you do not get 500 pip moves, but a reliable 40 to 50 is a lot better. Especially once you remember, that the object of investing is to earn money not establish how right you're. I exchange the daily charts and lots of times would put in a trade in the evening to see it go up nicely 25 - 30 pips, then turn and reverse prior to hitting the profit in the usa session. I heard something. If you've got a profit, there's nothing wrong with taking it. I use the EURUSD and USDCHF. No news is good news and techs rule those at night.

    There is nothing wrong with the Asian session. The issue is that because ot the low ATR you have to have your trade and your account exposed longer than you would in different sessions. The more time you expose your account to the market, the more probable the odds are that some negative move will happen. Among the statistics that egies are measured by is exposure or period in market. Less is better .

    If not then I ch the low of the day and hold it through Europe and then ch the spike in usa if a trailing stop could be applied.
    Ummmmmmm....how do you ch THE low of the day? I mean, if the oriental low occurs at 7pm and it is 7pm, how can you know that it's THE low? What if it moves lower?

    Please tell me your key to ching the oriental low, I could make millions in only a few days.

    There is nothing wrong with the Asian session. The problem is that because ot the very low ATR you have to have your transaction and your account exposed longer than you want in different sessions. The longer you introduce your account to the market, the more probable the chances are that some adverse move will occur. Among the statistics that egies are quantified by is exposure or period in market. Less is better .
    Without doubt Phil, that is the hardest thing to get used to during the oriental trades. That tiny clock goes off in your head that says. You have been in this too long! Hazard! The momentum is indeed slow you just feel like you're about to get hosed. But, generally speaking, it just keeps chugging along in your direction. I still get out too soon in the Asian trades sometimes but I am getting sharper about the exits. It's only something.
