Today's Guidance

Mark the London session high and low. Enter EUR/USD only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond either boundary.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the London high or low after the 15:00 UK New Home Sales releases.

Then

Stop trading between the London high and low; use confirmed moves away from the broken 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

    Limit repeated EUR/USD entries when several scheduled releases disrupt the same setup.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Keep combined risk controlled if trading both the London and London-New York overlap periods.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Record which scheduled release produced the clearest tradable price behaviour.
