I Trade Asia
only for intra day trading and there are a few reasons for this.
1. No news or data releases to interfere with the setup or trade.
2. Being in North America, the Asian session starts after dinner which means the vibe is a lot calmer because the busy business day is over. Less fear in the air.
3. The capital flow from the second half of the USA session almost always offers at least 1 small leg, so i just look for a countertrend sweep and a double candle entry back with the capital flow i mentioned earlier. Risk 1 to win 2.
4. I use the 5 min chart to identify HH HL or LL LH
