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 made a HH and is currently trading within last week’s body, within W1 QHi
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 Inside Bar closing within newly formed demand from Bull Engulf, price still trading within D1 QHi
- Possible D1 Phase 3
- H4 failed to close higher within supply and formed a Bear Engulf giving H4-C‑S 1859.500 at VAL
- Trend: H4 Up, D1 Up, W1 Up
- Prevailing trend: Trend is UP 3/3

- Moderate Imbalance. Open Sentiment below value at D1/W1 QHi suggest a possible turn in sentiment. New H4 supply formed at VAL with Bear Engulf closing slightly below D1/W1 QHi. Although trading within D1 demand nearing H4 50MA in UT. Possible D1 Phase 1 / 3. Trend is UP 3/3 still. Asia extended to the upside. IBR took out some LTF demand.

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
