Today's Outlook

Patient EUR Speech Day

London has not set EUR/JPY's direction; EUR speakers are scheduled at 08:15, 14:15 and 17:00 UK. Wait for EUR/JPY to settle around each speech, and avoid chasing the first sudden EUR/JPY move after a speech.

Today's Guidance

Use the Asian session high and low as EUR/JPY boundaries for the day. Enter only after a 1-hour candle closes beyond either boundary, away from the 08:15, 14:15 and 17:00 UK speeches.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A 1-hour EUR/JPY candle closes clearly beyond the Asian session high or low after the 08:15 UK speech.

Then

Stop treating both Asian boundaries equally; use the crossed Asian session boundary only if price returns there and moves 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

    Treat EUR/JPY's response to ECB's Lane Speaks at 05:15 UK as context, not a fresh signal.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    If price remains between the Asian high and low, consider entries near the edges rather than the middle.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Cancel unfilled EUR/JPY orders before each protected event window.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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