Today's Outlook

Wait for Clear Price

Review EUR/USD after USD Initial Jobless Claims and Continuing Jobless Claims at 13:30 UK, and EUR Consumer Confidence at 15:00 UK. With London trading winding down, avoid chasing EUR/USD around the 21:30 UK USD Fed's Balance Sheet without a clear candle close.

Today's Guidance

Mark the European session high and low before choosing a EUR/USD entry. From 21:25 to 21:45 UK, stay out of new trades.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond the European high or low after USD Fed's Balance Sheet at 21:30 UK.

Then

Stop trading between the European high and low; wait for price to return to that boundary and move 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

    Record whether the US-session high and low form inside or outside the European range.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Use the Daily and 4-hour charts to identify nearby price barriers, then use a 1-hour candle close for entries.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    If two 1-hour candles provide no clear setup, preserve capital rather than forcing a trade.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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