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
- Possible Developing MN Three Inside UP although price trading within MN Supply
- Last week closed as an Inside Bar below W1 QHi and price is trading below its body and range: possibly developing a W1 Three Outside Down
Non-conjecture observations of the market

- D1 Three Outside Down with continuation down traversing 1.86xADR. Price rejected D1/W1 QHi with no arrival at QLo (yet)
- H4 consolidation at H4 200MA

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
