This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for GOLD. 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 trading above last week’s body and range within W1 Supply and made a HH taking out W1 Supply End
- Price arrived at W1 QHi
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 closed higher but with a longer selling wick reacting off W1/D1 QHi
- H4 closed higher reacting off old H4 supply to sideways trading
- More range during London at the moment
- Trend: H4 Up, D1 Up, W1 Up
- Prevailing trend: Strong uptrend 3/3
- Market Profile
- 2 overlapping values with price trading above
- Daily Range

Sentiment
- LN open
- Above Value, Outside Range
- Open distance to value
- 1.77xASR
- Narrative
- Huge Imbalance. Possibility for a continuation instead of a mean reversion. Although Prev. Day exceeded ADR by 1.90. Asia closed higher but failed to close within D1 QHi. London is trading more than NY. Main move might happen during London. Strong uptrend. W1/D1 supply got taken out although due to arrival at D1/W1 QHi there might be a reaction. ADR exhaustion not far above IB.
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1
- Mean Reversion Sustained Auction Down
- Hypo 2
- Auction Fade Long, variation to Hypo 1
- Hypo 3

ZOIs for Possible Shorts
- H4-C‑S 1864.402 OLD
ZOIs for Possible Long
- H4-C‑D 1822.888
Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay
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)
- No early exits, either hit SL or 2R target
- Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
- Process
- Keep trade review comments short
- Risk Management
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
