Today's Outlook

Patient News Focused Trading

EUR news includes ECB's Lane Speaks at 08:00 UK and three CPI releases at 10:00 UK, so EUR/JPY may move sharply. Wait for EUR/JPY to settle around the Asian session high or low, and avoid chasing the first sudden move.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low before 08:00 UK. Enter EUR/JPY only when a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian high or low, or turns away from it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

At 10:20 UK, EUR/JPY remains between the Asian session high and low without a clear candle close beyond either price.

Then

Use the Asian session high and low as boundaries, and consider only trades that turn away from either 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

    Do not increase position size after missing an EUR/JPY entry.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Record whether EUR/JPY closes inside or outside the Asian session high and low.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Leave the day alone if no clear setup appears from 10:20 to 13:00 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.
