Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low on EUR/USD. Enter only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond one boundary or turns away from it.

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 Michigan reports.

Then

Prioritise entries that remain beyond that London high or low, and avoid trades back towards the middle of the day's prices.

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

    Set the stop and position size before entry; do not widen risk around scheduled releases.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Treat repeated crosses of the Asian session midpoint as indecision rather than confirmation.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Review open EUR/USD exposure before the 17:00, 18:00 and 20:30 UK releases.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.
