The Base Range London and New York Expand From
The basic logic of the Asia range as a reference for later expansion.

Part of the My Edge Official framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.
The Asia range isn't just a period of low volatility before the real action — it's the base zone from which London or New York often expand. This concept covers a general, generic understanding of the Asia range; our refined, tested projection methodology is a separate, more advanced product (see Asia Range Projections — Proprietary Edge).

The Asia session range (from its high to its low) isn't just a quiet stretch before the real action — it's the base zone that London or New York often "launch" off of.
This basic concept gives you the general idea; our refined, tested way of measuring it (using Fibonacci levels) is a separate, more advanced product (Asia Range Projections — Proprietary Edge).
Advanced explanation⌄
Theory
The Asia range is the span from the highest to the lowest price at which price trades during the Asia session. It typically represents a period of lower volatility and consolidation ahead of the London and New York sessions.
Context
The Asia range is commonly used to: identify the day's initial consolidation before expansion, serve as the base range from which London or New York can expand, and provide reference highs/lows that can later become liquidity (Asia high = potential buy-side liquidity, Asia low = potential sell-side liquidity).
Confirmation
💡 The range itself is descriptive, not predictive — it does not forecast direction.
Direction is determined by which side gets taken first during London or New York, and how price behaves afterward (see Market Structure, Higher Timeframe Context).
Execution
How to Use It
In practice:
- Each day after the Asia session closes, measure the range (high to low) and compare it to the typical average of recent days — an unusually wide or narrow range is information in itself.
- Mark both sides of the range (high and low) as potential liquidity, not as "support" or "resistance" — expect at least one side to be taken out later.
- For a concrete, tradeable methodology with Fibonacci levels and confluence rules that builds on this base range, see Asia Range Projections — Proprietary Edge in the Strategy category.
Don't stop here — see how this fits with the rest of the framework.

What are Asia Range Projections (basics)?⌄
Asia Range Projections use the high-to-low span of the Asia session as a base zone from which London or New York often expand, marking both sides as potential future liquidity rather than as support or resistance.
How do I use the basic Asia range in my analysis?⌄
Measure the session's high and low after Asia closes, compare it to the typical recent average, and mark both sides as liquidity — expect at least one side to eventually be taken out during London or New York.
Does the Asia range predict which direction price will go?⌄
No — the range itself is descriptive, not predictive; direction is determined by which side gets taken first and how price behaves afterward, a market structure and higher-timeframe context question, not a range question.
What's the difference between this and Asia Range Projections — Proprietary Edge?⌄
This document covers the general, generic understanding of the Asia range as a base zone; the Proprietary Edge strategy is a tested, refined methodology with specific Fibonacci levels and confluence rules built on top of it.
