heard so much talk about the asian session being bad for trading but i would like some more explanation as to why it is so.

Because the risk does not equal the reward. You spend long hours trading the Asian session only to make a small profit because price is changing so slowly (they call this low volatility).

If it took you 2 hours to make $100 profit during the Asian session, it could take another person 30 minutes to make the same $100 profit during the London session, so tell me which session would you rather trade? I guess the London session 😉

Theres low liquidity during the Asian session after the Asian session ends, it serves as a guide for determining what the next session (London session) is going to do in terms of price action. To find out more please read this :
