So my schedule gives me the Asian session free but in forex these hours are almost unbearably boring. Is there anything that moves? Mini-Nikkei? Soybeans? I've been spending that time at the bar, but I would rather make some cash now and then. Any ideas?

I like looking for breakouts from the last hour of New York trading, ideally in the direction of overall trend (confirmed on a daily chart), on the pairs that have liquidity during Asia: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, NZD/USD.

Things can really get going, but beware of the London boys reversing -- use tight stops and realistic profit targets.

Attached chart highlights the last two hours of New York and shows the daily open price on a M15 EUR/USD chart. There were good entries yesterday and Monday (Monday with daily trend, yesterday against), today is flat as of now.
