Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low, then watch how EUR/USD behaves when London trading begins. Enter only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond either price and stays beyond it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

After 13:30 UK, a 1-hour EUR/USD candle closes above the Asian and London highs or below the Asian and London lows.

Then

Use the crossed Asian and London prices as guides. Enter only if EUR/USD returns to those prices and moves away again.

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