This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for DAX. This prep builds off of my weekly trade plan I made here:
The purpose of a premarket prep is to find setups within my weekly trade plan bias

- Balancing Market. Multi-day bracket. FF ambiguous. H4 Evening Star formed with longer buying wick currently trading within Demand. Possible D1 Phase 1 / 3 and multi-day bracket there is no clear directional cue.
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 2
- Hypo 1
- Failed Auction Long, probe below value
- Hypo 2
- Failed Auction Short, probe above value
- Hypo 3 (less likely)
- Sustained Auction Short, if there is a close below VAL coinciding with IB extension, late-sustained auction preferred
- Hypo 4 (even less likely)
- Sustained Auction Long
Additional notes
- Capital Preservation Rule in effect
ZOIs for Possible Shorts

Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay
Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
- Total of 13 trades by the end of the month
- Weekly Goal
- Min. 3 times working out at home + mandatory cardio
- Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
- Risk Management
- Without forcing a trade: aim to take 1 trade a day, if possible 2.
- Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
