This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for the Forex pair GBPNZD. 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
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Price is retracing all of last week’s body
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 Evening star and continuation down closing below D1 QHi with no arrival at W1 demand (yet)
- Price rejected H4 QHi, proceeded to make a supply at H4-C‑S 1.98418 and arrived at H4 QLo
- Trend: H4 Down, D1 Up, W1 Up
- Prevailing trend: Trend is Up 2/3
- Market Profile

- Daily Range

Sentiment
- LN open
- Below Value, Outside Range
- Open distance to value
- 2.03xASR
- Narrative
- Large Imbalance at the open. IB traded down to W1-C‑D 1.96800. Possible continuation to H4 Phase 4 although trading at H4 QLo, trend is up ⅔. Price retraced to a W1 Three Inside Up c‑dem which is not a good sign but due to the larger timeframe expecting buyers to still come on.
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1
- Mean Reversion, Failed Auction Long as C already extended below IB
- Hypo 2
- Auction Fade Long, variation to Hypo 3
- Hypo 3
- Sustained Auction Down. very risky due to W1 demand, possible late-sustained auction entry
Additional notes
- Capital Preservation Rule in effect
ZOIs for Possible Shorts
- W1-C‑S 2.00000
- H4-C‑S 1.99407
- H4-C‑S 1.98418

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
- 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
