to those that trade purely on technicals, do you find it that the asian session usually produces less false alerts? during the US session i noticed that even though technicals can be right there could be many unexpected news and a lot of times the trade will go big against you before you make any pips. in example i got alerts last night at around 8pm est on the 3 majors and made over 60 pips without ever being down significant amounts. During the US session i get the same alerts but often down double digits before it goes in my favor. by the time that loss is made up i make a smaller profit if any at all.
