Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low. Enter EUR/JPY only after price clearly turns there or a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond either boundary.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian session high or low, and the following candle stays beyond that boundary.

Then

Stop trading between the Asian session boundaries and favour entries following the confirmed move away from the crossed 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

    EUR is the only currency with supplied scheduled news; no JPY release is listed.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Treat the Spanish CPI forecast of 4.9% and Spanish HICP forecast of 5% as context, not trade signals.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    If EUR/JPY stays within the Asian range, require a clear turn at an edge rather than entering near the middle.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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