I live in California which is in the Pacific time Zone and I day trade ES/MES . I'm looking for something in the Asian Market that I can day trade in the evening starting around 5:00pm Pacific time to around 10:00pm .

Any suggestions ? Doesn't have to be Asian Market , but I think around that time Asia is the only thing that will move .

Thanks !

Obviously there's the currencies..

Also, even with es and nq, try to watch around the time when China and Aussie data releases are timed, which are about 3.5hrs after ETH opens (2.30amUK). Check on ForexFactory or Tradingeconomics

The A50 index is extremely volatile during the Asian session, SGX and HKEX have futures contracts. There's also the Nikkei on CME. COMEX Copper can also be active during the Asian session, you'll notice volume spikes that coincide with the cash open of the Shanghai Futures Exchange copper.

Kospi Futures. Order book just about as thick as the ES. Only US broker that I know of that offer access is IB.
