Today's Outlook

Patient News Risk Day

Wait for London to establish EUR/USD price behaviour, using the Asian session high and low as guides before considering a trade. USD CPI (MoM) at 13:30 UK and ECB President Lagarde Speaks at 15:00 UK can move EUR/USD quickly; avoid chasing.

Today's Guidance

Check every EUR/USD stop before 13:25 UK and 14:55 UK. Cancel any EUR/USD order scheduled inside 13:25-13:50 UK or 14:55-15:20 UK.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian high or low after 15:20 UK, and EUR/USD stays beyond that price.

Then

Use the relevant Asian high or low as the main decision price. Stop planning trades between the Asian high and low.

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

    Treat the 10:00 UK IEA Monthly Report as a watch point rather than an automatic EUR/USD entry.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Protect open EUR/USD trades before the EUR and USD events scheduled at 18:00 UK.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Do not force EUR/USD trades around the CFTC position reports scheduled at 20:30 UK.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

Tip: Copy this checklist into today’s Workspace and tick items off as you trade.
