Best Pairs to Trade During the Asian Session
✦
I've been exclusively trading the Asian session for the past 6 months because of my schedule, and wanted to get a feel for what pairs others are finding most reliable.
My personal experience:
- **USD/JPY**: Clean ranges but BoJ intervention risk keeps me cautious on breakouts
- **AUD/USD**: Good range trader — reacts well to Chinese data
- **NZD/USD**: Tighter spreads on some brokers, slightly less liquid but works
- **AUD/JPY**: The combo move is nice when both currencies have catalysts
I've tried EUR/USD during Asian hours and found it too random — not enough European flow to give it direction.
What pairs do you trade during the Asian session? And do you find it easier or harder than the London/NY sessions?
