Today's Outlook

Patient Trading Day

French CPI (MoM) and French HICP (MoM) at 07:45 UK require patience before EUR/USD entries near the London open. Spanish HICP (YoY) and Spanish CPI (YoY) at 08:00 UK make chasing the first sharp EUR/USD move the main mistake.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low. Enter EUR/USD only after price clearly holds beyond or turns away from either point.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

ECB's Schnabel Speaks at 18:00 UK and EUR/USD then holds beyond the high or low formed after 13:30 UK.

Then

Rebuild the EUR/USD plan from price action after 18:00 UK instead of relying on the 13:30 UK high or 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

    Define the entry, stop and exit conditions before placing each EUR/USD order.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Treat forecast and previous figures as context, not as directional signals.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Review one setup after 22:00 UK and record whether price confirmation preceded the entry.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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