Pre-Asia checklist -- mostly so I do not invent a session I do not trade.

I am not an Asia specialist. The checklist still matters because Sunday evening / early Monday can suck me into "just marking levels" that turns into tickets.

Five minutes, same order every time
1. Calendar: any local prints that actually move my pairs, or am I looking at noise?
2. Levels from Friday: high/low and the level I care about for London -- not a dozen lines.
3. Max risk for Asia explicitly: usually zero or half-size micro only.
4. Spread sanity on anything I might touch; if the book is already silly, flat.
5. One sentence: observe only, or one planned idea. If I cannot say it, platform stays closed.

The checklist is a brake, not a hunting licence. Most Asia nights end with notes for London and no fills. That is success for my playbook.

If you do run Asia risk, what is non-negotiable on your pre-session card?

Pre-Asia checklist so I do not invent a session

I am not an Asia specialist. The checklist still matters because Sunday evening can turn “just marking levels” into tickets I did not plan to take. Five minutes, same order: calendar, key levels, max risk if I am even allowed to click, and a written stand-aside if the week’s real work is European.

Rule: if Asia is outside my edge, the checklist ends with platform alerts only — no discretionary entries. Marking is not trading.

That discipline protects Monday Frankfurt more than it protects Sunday pride.

If I break the Asia no-trade rule, it is logged as a process breach regardless of PnL. Winning on a banned session teaches the wrong lesson.

The checklist order never changes. Ritual reduces the chance that Sunday curiosity reshuffles priorities.

Invented Asia sessions create invented Monday holes.

What is the one Asia temptation you still fight — Sunday gap fade, or early Monday “tiny” probes before your real session?
