I consider myself still a newbie and therefore I have to use my common sense, my experience so far and other sources...the mixture helps me to make up my mind :-)

To get an idea: for example, look at the charts of the pairs which are used for scalping. Look specifically at the times between 20:00pm and 4:00 am ( Asia-session...whatever time that may be for you )....and see the range of the pair. If you see it being very volatile, even having a broader range than usual....better stay out.
Then next look what happens after 18:00 pm ( always using my time- which is german )...if the market calms down...ok...if it has been highly volatile over the day and still didn´t calm down...stay out...

That is, what I had been doing.

Tonight I give it a try...well, I don´t know yet about later. I just wanted to see, whether it makes sense to change the trading times.

For example, instead of starting at 20:00pm...start at 18:00 pm....instead of letting the EA run through the night...turn it off when I go to sleep...

Hope, That helps a bit :-)
