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. Enter only if price returns to that Asian session boundary and moves away again without crossing back.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian session high or low after Spanish GDP (QoQ) at 08:00 UK.

Then

Stop treating the Asian session as the trading area; use the broken boundary for entries after price returns and moves 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

    Compare Spanish GDP (QoQ) with the 0.7% forecast before judging the 08:00 UK price response.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Assess Durable Goods Orders (MoM) and Core Durable Goods Orders (MoM) together at 13:30 UK.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Do not use the 20:30 UK CFTC EUR speculative net positions as an entry signal without price confirmation.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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