Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low. Wait for a candle on the 1-hour chart to close clearly beyond either point before following a direction.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

The 09:00 UK German Ifo Business Climate Index sends EUR/JPY beyond the Asian session high or low, and price remains beyond that boundary.

Then

Stop using the Asian session high and low as range boundaries and follow only confirmed price behaviour beyond 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

    Keep trade size balanced; one scheduled release does not justify taking extra risk.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    If EUR/JPY stays between the Asian session high and low, use only clearly defined range entries.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Stop after repeated failed entries rather than forcing a view when price lacks a clear direction.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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