Today's Guidance

Mark the London session high and low after 10:15 UK. Enter only when a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond either boundary or turns away from it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart spans both the London session high and low after 10:00 UK.

Then

Treat 13:00-16:00 UK as a period to avoid, and wait for smaller EUR/JPY candles before reconsidering a trade.

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

    Use the Daily and 4-hour charts for context; use the 1-hour chart for entry confirmation.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Record how EUR/JPY behaves at the London session high and low before selecting a strategy.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    If price becomes erratic, reduce trade size rather than widening the stop.
