Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low, then wait for a candle on the 1-hour chart to close beyond either point. Enter only if price returns to that point and moves away again.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the London high or low following the 15:00 UK USD releases.

Then

Stop trading between the London high and low. Wait for price to return to the broken high or low 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 01Later

    Remove resting EUR/USD orders that could be triggered blindly at 15:00 UK.

  2. Step 02Later

    Choose a trend, range or news setup before entry; do not change the label to justify holding.

  3. Step 03Later

    Use the Daily chart for context and a candle close on the 1-hour chart for execution.
