The Quiet Session That Sets the Trap for London and New York
Thin volume, tight range — but the level it builds becomes the reference every later session reacts to.
Before you start: No prior concept needed.
Part of the MY EDGE framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.
While most traders are asleep or ignoring overnight trading, the Asia session quietly sets the trap that London and New York will later step into. The trading day's first major session isn't there for you to trade — it's there for you to understand what it's building for the rest of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Asia trading session and when does it run?⌄
The Asia session runs 8:00 PM–12:00 AM New York time (based on local New York time, including daylight saving adjustments) and is the day's first major session — one we read for context rather than trade directly.
How should I actually use the Asia session in my analysis?⌄
Document the Asia high/low, forming PD Arrays, and whether the range is normal or unusually wide/narrow, treating the Asia high as potential buy-side liquidity and the Asia low as potential sell-side liquidity for later sessions.
Does the Asia session determine the direction of the trading day?⌄
No — the Asia session provides market context, not direction; always wait for confirmation from London and New York price action rather than assuming Asia's range dictates the day.
How is the Asia Session different from the Asia Kill Zone?⌄
The Asia session is the full 8:00 PM–12:00 AM window; the Asia Kill Zone is the narrower 7:00 PM–10:00 PM window where most of the meaningful range-building actually happens.
