Today's Outlook

Patient EUR News Day

EUR/JPY may move sharply around German Factory Orders (MoM) at 07:00 UK and the speeches at 12:40 and 14:00. Treat German Buba Vice President Buch Speaks and ECB's Elderson Speaks as times to wait, not invitations to chase sharp price changes.

Today's Guidance

Do not place EUR/JPY entries during 06:55-07:15, 12:35-12:50 or 13:55-14:15 UK. Recalculate trade size when the latest 1-hour candle is wider than the planned stop.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly outside the Asian session high or low, and the following candle stays outside.

Then

Stop trading inside the Asian session area and use the crossed boundary when assessing new EUR/JPY entries.

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

    Mark the nearest clear EUR/JPY high and low on the daily chart before planning an entry.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Inside the Asian session high and low, enter only when there is enough room to the opposite boundary.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    A valid setup before one EUR event does not remove the risk around the following event.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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