Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low on EUR/USD. Enter only after price turns there twice or a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond one.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian session high or low after USD ADP Employment Change Weekly at 13:15 UK.

Then

Treat the broken Asian session high or low as the main area to watch. Ignore trades pointing back towards the opposite Asian session boundary.

Guidance — not a prediction. Today's plan may need to be reassessed if this trigger materialises.

Today's Trading Checklist

Run through every step below before placing a trade today.

Statuses update automatically as today's plan and trading windows progress. They show when each point is most relevant — you still confirm the trading conditions on the chart.

  1. Step 01Plan closed

    Judge the 07:00 German Trade Balance result of 21.3B versus the 16B forecast through EUR/USD's sustained response.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Do not assume the 13:15 UK USD response will remain valid through the 16:00 UK EUR remarks.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Use the Daily chart for context and make entry decisions from confirmed 4-hour and 1-hour candle closes.
