Today's Guidance

Only enter EUR/JPY when a candle on the 1-hour chart confirms a clear direction or turns away from the Asian session high or low.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

EUR/JPY keeps making sharp swings beyond 10:20 UK following the 10:00 UK EUR CPI releases.

Then

Remove the 13:00-16:00 UK best window and wait until EUR/JPY candle sizes return to normal.

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

    Mark the Asian session high and low before the London open.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Treat the first price swing after scheduled news as information, not an entry signal.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Use Daily and 4-hour chart prices to filter lower-quality 1-hour chart entries.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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