Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low. Enter only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian session high or low and price remains beyond that boundary.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

EUR/USD keeps making sharp swings after FOMC Meeting Minutes at 19:00 UK without holding beyond the Asian session high or low.

Then

Treat 19:30-22:00 UK as unsafe and avoid new EUR/USD entries.

Guidance — not a prediction. Today's plan may need to be reassessed if this trigger materialises.
