Building a Sunday map for Asia-session traders
How traders watching the Taipei evening and Asia open can prepare multi-timeframe maps without waiting for London to decide everything.
Traders in Taiwan often work charts while London is quiet and New York is closed. That rhythm makes multi-timeframe preparation especially valuable: the higher-timeframe map can be written when the lower timeframes are less theatrical.
What belongs on a Sunday map
- Weekly context in one glance: is the prior week a range, a break, or a rejection?
- Daily location for two to four pairs you will actually trade—not twelve watchlist ghosts.
- Known event risk for the week (central bank days, major USD prints) noted as stand-aside windows, not as trade ideas.
- A bias sentence per pair, written before Monday’s Asia open.
What can wait
Fine M15 drawings, every minor H1 equal high, and elaborate Fibonacci stacks. Those details belong after the map exists—and often after London liquidity arrives. In our Shulin workshops we have seen traders spend an hour decorating the fifteen-minute while the daily bias remained unwritten.
If you only improve one habit this month, make it this: the Sunday map finishes before the first Asia candle tempts you into a story.
