Why is the Asian session such low volume?

cloggie, you're full of great information.

I personally feel that there are two main reasons for this -

1. Since most of the movement happens in market due to big financial institutions. Most of the big institutions are in Europe followed by US. So this causes big liquidity during euro and us sessions.

2. "Where the herd goes, the rest follow". The wide perception is that GBP and USD sessions are highly liquid, so any new trader who joins the market, starts trading during these sessions which make the US and Euro sessions more liquid.

Hmm .. let me give a shot a this.

1) Most traded currencies are EURUSD, GBPUSD etc.
2) Hedgers in China does not need to trade pairs other than Renminbi. But Renminbi is not very freely traded.
3) Retail speculators are not the market movers. They are minority in any market.
4) Institutional speculators are not based in China. Even if they are, they will not trade without the presence of UK,US hedgers/specualtors (mostly based in EU and US). They need liquidity.

Well i have thought about this too. And one thing is very certain: If the money being moved is being moved by London, and we can see that a lot of money is being moved when london is open, that means there is a lot of money being controlled from London. Its self evident of course.

And then perhaps one ask the question of why there is so much money in being controlled in London? Well pick up any history book that is even touching on the subject of economy and you will see that the word "Free trade" is actually an english word. I dont know what "Free" really means, or if its got anything to do with what is being done, and what is being called "Free trade", but hey im just one of those people hwo have a habit of actually thinking about words and what they mean.

You can pick up another book that is less then 500 years old. Chances are that book, regardless of subject is actually written in english. As you might have noticed i am writing this in english and as you might have noticed, you know how to write and read english. With all this being said, the empire that managed to hold a lot of ground through the 18th century up until our days and onwards is an empire that just happens to speak english. London being the capital of England, and nowadays pretty much the capital of the US. Well maybe now its not so strange that there is a lot of money in London.

Perhaps you are wondering why i wrote that London is pretty much the capital of the US? Well if money is power, and this world is run by money, and the money is in London, then the power is in London. If you dont think this seem logical, have a look at who controls the financial institutions of the so called US: The Federal reserve, JP morgan, Citibank, Wall street, Dow jones, Nasdaq, The congress, The president and the cabinet and a few other things.

Well maybe London isnt just the capital of the US and the UK, maybe its the capital of the world, since the most money is there, and the world is run by money. How does independent states, the will of the people and the EU fit into this? Well maybe it just DONT. By the way, anybody want to plug a chip into themselves so someone can keep track of you all the time? Anybody want some flu vaccine that obviously DONT work for shit? Anybody think Obama and Bernanke gonna fix things? Anybody want to get bombed by a drone plane without a trial or anything? Anybody think that Irak, Afghanistan and Iran should be invaded in order to strike an iron ring of defense around Israel?

If "Yeah sure, why the hell not?" to all of the above, then its not a problem that most of the money of the world is being controlled from London. If yes to all of the above then it obviously isnt a problem that you and yo moma aint got no say in whats going on. If yes to all of the above, this world is just fine, headed the exact right way. If yes to the above SLAVERY ISNT A PROBLEM! Slavery and servitude is just a way of life, you are born, lied to, screwed in the brain and then you friggin DIE, soulles and stupid in a world filled of shite! And everything is just FINE that way, you WANT it that way, because you dont know anything different.

By the way, Lennon was shot if you remember. He used to sing about exactly this kind of things. Hes not alone to be gunned down by some unknown, random dude, right? Its just life, some people hwo are a little uncomfortable with the world and say it, have a way of being gunned down by some random dude like John F Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Tupac Shakur, Olof Palme to name a few. I bet thats a coincidence, yeah sure it is. Random dudes they go around gunning down people like that, thats a conspiracy theory for yah! Random dudes with guns they go about the world patrolling the streets vigilantly for people who are uncomfortable with the world.

And i mean, its not like its sort of Illegal to support Ron Paul in the US. Oh sorry, it actually IS. Tea party gonna change things? A bunch a angry racists with a wittless screaming bitch as a front. The US is in for a treat. This one is going down in the history books. Oh wait, no its not. Genocide dont get printed, i forgot that too, my memory isnt serving me these days.

My advice for people in the US is to GET THE HELL OUT, RIGHT NOW! Or at least stock up on 6 months worth of food and an assault rifle, preferably with a granade launcher. If you got a heavy armored vehicle in storage i suggest you load up on Diesel and granades for that one. If you got ground to air missiles make sure they are operational.

I wouldn't call 1 trillion dollars a day (20% of daily volume overall "low"
