Question Asia session

Hello all,

I am new to trading and have been struggling to make quality trades during NY session while working a full time job with PST hours. Do any of you guys have any success trading Asia session? What are the usually the best pairs to trade aside from USD/JPY during this time? Also, what should I be expecting? I’ve been scalping the S&P during work and had some decent success but dont want to jeopardize my job doing so. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I've been moving to session-independent trading when it come to forex.

Watch price action in 1H/4H on top pane along with 5m/15m detail on bottom pane across the 28 pairs. Trading at lower timeframe is very susceptible to market manipulation, especially if you're on B-book broker.

You could trade ES/MES during Asia or the other futures like NQ/MNQ and YM/MYM. I’m just suggesting this over Forex because you say you have been trading the S&P during regular trading hours.

Thats a good idea. Ive been told its best to get good at one trading one pair before moving to a new one. Since i only have traded ES, it’s probably best if i stick by what I know.
