This is my pre­mar­ket prep for today’s Euro­pean ses­sion for GOLD. This prep builds off of my week­ly trade plan I made here:

Gold 2021 Week 42 Trad­ing Plan

The pur­pose of a pre­mar­ket prep is to find setups with­in my week­ly trade plan bias

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• Price trad­ing above last week’s body but with­in range (long sell­ing wick)

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• Price action
  • Price is react­ing off D1-C‑D 1762.340 above D1 QLo
  • H4 con­sol­i­da­tion and break high­er at D1 demand with con­tin­u­a­tion in premarket
• Trend: H4 Up, D1 Down, W1 Up
  • Pre­vail­ing trend: MIXED Trend
• Mar­ket Profile
  • Val­ued are in DT but price is trad­ing above yesterday’s value
• Dai­ly Range
  • ADR: 22102
  • ASR: 15211
    • 380
  • ASR Short:7932
    • 198
  • Day
    • Yes­ter­day’s High 1771.980
    • Yes­ter­day’s Low 1760.220

Sen­ti­ment

• LN open
  • Above Val­ue, Out­side Range
• Open dis­tance to value
  • 0.92xASR
• Nar­ra­tive
  • Large Imbal­ance at the open. IBR tra­versed high­er 0.36xASR near­ing ADR exhaus­tion. Price react­ed off D1 demand and kep trad­ing high­er. The large imbal­ance at the open sug­gests a poten­tial mean rever­sion. If there is an exten­sion to the upside there could be a uni­di­rec­tion­al day fol­low­ing Asia trad­ing high­er (com­ing off H4 QLo rejec­tion although risky as H4 QHi is right above) more con­firmed if ADR gets exhaust­ed dur­ing LN. Although there is a mixed trend so not entire­ly favor­ing a sus­tained auction. 
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 3
• Hypo 1
  • Mean Rever­sion, Sus­tained auc­tion Down
• Hypo 2
  • Failed Auc­tion Short, IBR tight
• Hypo 3
  • Sus­tained Auc­tion Up, late sus­tained auc­tion entry pre­ferred per­haps coin­cid­ing with exhaus­tion of ADR. 
• Hypo 4
  • Auc­tion Fade Long, vari­a­tion to Hypo 1

Addi­tion­al notes

• N.A.

ZOIs for Pos­si­ble Shorts

• D1-C‑S 1794.175

ZOIs for Pos­si­ble Long

• D1-C‑D 1762.340

Mind­ful Trad­ing (lack of sleep?)

• Feel­ing okay, might get dis­tract­ed with per­son­al life.

Focus Points for trad­ing development

• Month­ly Goals
  • No momen­tum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
  • Total of 20 trades by the end of the month, prefer­ably 2 a day (not in the same prod­uct at the same time) 
• Week­ly Goal
  • Use SL scal­ing in case the prof­it tar­get for the set­up doesn’t pro­vide 2R for exam­ple for FA or VAA setups
  • No ear­ly exits, either hit SL or 2R tar­get, lat­est cut-off 1:30 Lon­don time
• Risk Man­age­ment
  • 2 con­sec­u­tive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING

• Twit­ter
• Insta­gram
