Asia is not to earn much, it is not to lose. If you succeed in positive every day, you are crack.

I still think this whole thread is a waste of time. You better learn how to operate well in active sessions.
If you're a rookie, forget about Asia. Start with NY, learn to survive, and then see if you want to meditate with 2-pipe candles.
Great contribution, people. I’m leaving with several ideas to implement. Thank you all.
The best learning of this thread is not just what to operate, but when. Time is also a key variable in this business.
After reading the whole thread and seeing so many divided opinions on whether the scalping in the Asian session is profitable or not, I want to provide my experience and analysis in depth. I have been doing scaling exclusively for more than 6 years in this session, and while I recognize its limitations, I have also discovered advantages that few take advantage simply by disinformation or lack of patience.The first thing to understand is the nature of the market during the Asian session.The low volume, yes, but does not disappear.There are movements, especially during the first two hours of Tokyo, that if they are thoroughly studied, they follow repetitive patterns.Few news, more technical movements and less direct institutional manipulation are characteristics that, well used, allow generating entries with fairly acceptable risk-benefit ratios.The second thing is that success is not in entering many times, but in having an extremely filtered system.I use a set of rules based on microstructure of the market, with VWAP, dynamic bands and delta in addition, all this supports a relative volume filter my system only if the market is "respirating".
Excellent contribution. Very complete and direct. Thank you for sharing your experience!
But then, aren't you assuming too many ideal conditions? Not everyone has that level of infrastructure.
Thank you for your explanation. You gave me several ideas to adjust my system.
If you need all that to make it work, wouldn't it be easier to operate London and ready?
