Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low on EUR/JPY. Enter from 10:15 UK only when a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond one mark and price stays there.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

EUR/JPY repeatedly crosses both the Asian session high and low between 08:00 and 10:15 UK.

Then

Stop using either Asian boundary for entries and wait for a new London-session high and low after 10:15 UK.

Guidance — not a prediction. Today's plan may need to be reassessed if this trigger materialises.
