Today's Guidance

Use the Asian session high and low as EUR/JPY decision points. Enter only when a 1-hour candle closes beyond either price or turns away clearly.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

After the 09:00 UK PMI releases, EUR/JPY closes beyond the Asian session high or low on consecutive 1-hour candles.

Then

Stop trading between the Asian high and low. Use the crossed boundary only after price returns and moves away again.

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

    Align 1-hour entries with visible highs and lows on the 4-hour and Daily charts.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Set the maximum loss for each EUR/JPY trade before entry.
