Question on position sizing for overnight swings in $EURUSD

asked by u/emre_r · 1mo · 1 answers

When taking a swing trade in $EURUSD with a target of 100+ pips, how do you guys adjust your position sizing for the overnight hold risk, especially when you're uncertain about how Asian session liquidity might impact early movement? Is it simply a percentage reduction, or do you factor in specific news events during that off-peak period?

    Good question. For EURUSD specifically, I tend to reduce my size by about 25-30% if I'm holding through the Asian session, especially if there are any major data releases expected from that region. It's not just about liquidity, but also about the potential for unexpected news to cause gaps.
