Episode notes
Tired of waking up at 3 AM to trade New York? Glenn and Reid go deep on trading the Asian session from Hawai'i.
In this episode:
- When the Asia session actually starts (hint: noon HST, not 2 PM)
- Why anchored VWAP from the Asia open changes your bias read
- Real backtest data: MNQ, Gold (MGC), and MES — strike rates, trade counts, profit per contract
- The liquidity tradeoff (thinner volume, slower bars, but still edge)
- Why "buy the close, sell the open" might be a real thing
- The 3-to-6 month rule before you call any system dead
Trade your lifestyle, not the other way around. Links to Net Alpha Pro and the free trading edge guide below.
