Today's Guidance

At 08:00 UK, compare EUR/JPY with the Asian session high and low. Trade only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond one of those prices or turns away from it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

After the 07:00 UK German CPI releases, EUR/JPY closes beyond the Asian session high or low on the 1-hour chart.

Then

Stop planning trades between the Asian session high and low; wait for EUR/JPY to hold beyond the crossed price.

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 0.6% MoM and 3.3% YoY CPI forecasts as context; never trade the forecasts themselves.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    If EUR/JPY stays between the Asian high and low, consider entries only near those boundaries rather than halfway between them.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Close a trade when its confirming candle fails instead of widening the planned stop.
