Trading the Asian session

Hi
The times to look out for are the TOKYO Open 7.00ET and the HONG KONG Open 9.00ET, I have found good moves around the HK Open anything from 10 to 60pips trading the EURO or JPY, the HONG KONG SINGAPORE Open often has a Reversal of the TOKYO trend set 2hours previous but on occasion can also provide a good extra boost of a continuation of the trend set after the TOKYO Open, I have traded this successfully using 2 x RSI one set to 9 CLOSE and the other to 18 OPEN the cross of the 2 RSI's gives a good signal especially if above 70 or below 30 - the point i am making is this is a good time to be watching for a move.
