<![CDATA[asian session trading, worth it or just for night owls]]>asian session (roughly 00:00-08:00 UTC) gets dismissed as 'low volatility, not worth trading'. but for traders in asia/oceania it's their primary trading window, and the AUDJPY, NZDJPY, AUDUSD pairs often have very clean directional moves during this time.

for non-asian traders willing to trade odd hours: is asian session worth it for cleaner setups, or is the low volume / wider effective spreads going to eat any edge?

curious for European/American traders who specifically chose to trade asian session.

P&L from asian session trades is modest but consistency is higher than my london session trades.
