Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low. Wait for London price to hold beyond either boundary or turn away from it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian high or low after the 10:00 UK EUR releases.

Then

Stop trading inside the Asian high and low; wait for price to return to the broken boundary 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 01Plan closed

    Reduce trade size if EUR/JPY candles expand sharply around 10:00 UK.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Treat the four 10:00 UK figures as one EUR risk block, not separate trade signals.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Review short-term positions before the 20:30 UK positioning releases.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.
