Today's Guidance
Mark the Asian high/low and the first London range; only trade EUR/USD after a candle close shows acceptance, rejection, or a confirmed retest. Pause new setups into the 09:00 EUR release and the 13:15/13:30 USD cluster, then let the post-news structure rebuild before acting.
Alternative scenario
The 13:15/13:30 USD cluster produces a clean H1 close outside the established London range followed by a held retest.
Shift from pre-news range discipline to post-news continuation setups only, using the retested range boundary as the decision point.
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.
- Step 01Upcoming
If EUR/USD remains inside the Asian range after London opens, treat it as range behaviour until a clean close changes that.
- Step 02Upcoming
Use H1 execution only after the H4/Daily context and the session range agree with the setup.
- Step 03Upcoming
Do not add EUR/USD decisions across the same USD catalyst; one clean setup is enough.
Pre-trade discipline — check every box before you trade.
Tip: Copy this checklist into today’s Workspace and tick items off as you trade.
