Today's Guidance

Reduce EUR/USD trade size around the three USD reports scheduled at 12:30 UK. Enter only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian session high or low.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

The Fed Interest Rate Decision at 18:00 UK differs from the 4% forecast.

Then

Stop using the London session high and low for new EUR/USD entries. Mark the first EUR/USD high and low formed from 18:00-19:00 UK.

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

    Treat the 4% Fed forecast and 4% previous rate as context only; neither provides a EUR/USD direction.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Separate EUR/USD decisions into distinct London and post-Fed plans rather than carrying assumptions across both.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Use range trades only when the London session high and low are clearly defined and repeatedly respected.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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