Today's Outlook

Patient EUR News Day

With French CPI (MoM) and French HICP (MoM) at 07:45 UK, wait for EUR/JPY to settle before entering. Spanish inflation news at 08:00 UK precedes EUR events at 09:15, 10:00 and 18:00 UK; avoid chasing sudden EUR/JPY moves.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low, then wait for a candle on the 1-hour chart to close beyond either price before entering.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

Following the 10:00 UK releases, a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond the Asian session high or low.

Then

Stop trading between the Asian session high and low; wait for EUR/JPY to return to the crossed boundary and move away again.

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 forecasts as context, not instructions to enter EUR/JPY.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Skip entries when EUR/JPY repeatedly crosses the Asian session high or low without holding beyond either price.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Review trade size before each scheduled EUR event rather than adjusting it during a fast price change.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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