What products have the strongest clear trending movements during Asian hours? I'm usually unable to trade the open of the HSI/KOSPI/NKY because of work, and I find that all the markets later on (Asian indices, ES/NQ/YM) aren't trending hard enough for me to trade profitably (I've tried trading them at a loss - doesn't fit my trading style which does better in trending markets). I usually wait to for the European session for a bit of trading (US is tough for my time zone), with oil/gold & the US equity indexes - but want to do more in the Asian session
you are right. choosing trendy futures is extremely important. unfortunately what is trendy today may not be trendy tomorrow. Yesterday, Russell 2000 was quite trendy during the US session. Today, hangseng and India Nifty are very trendy during the Asian session and for European session, OMXs30, FTMIB Italy, YM and gold are very trendy.
