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 within last month’s body after having made a HH above its range and is currently trading above MN demand
- Price started reacted a bit and price is trading at the top of the body/range
- Last week closed as a W1 Bear Engulf with price currently trading within last week’s body
Sentiment
- LN open
- 0.64xASR Above Value, Outside Range, Moderate to Large Imbalance
- Market Profile
- Value created above the previous
- Price still within overall range
- Price trading above value
- Narrative
- D1 Three Inside Up at D1 QLo
- Price currently trading at D1-C‑S 1810.196
- H4 Phase 2 rejecting H4 QLo giving H4-C‑D 1800.436 and price is trading mid swing
- Yesterday’s high and H4-C‑D 1800.436 nearby VAH
- Asia extended to the upside
- Trend is DOWN 2/3
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1
- Short
- Mean Reversion, sustained auction
- If IBR can traverse higher into D1 supply and fulfil criteria before reversing that would be preferred
- Price needs to extend within the first 2 hours
- Hypo 2
- Short
- Reversal, possible Failed Auction
- Nearby D1 supply
- Hypo 3
- Long
- Return to Value, reversal nearby VAH, possible auction fade
- Yesterday’s high, VAH, H4 demand
- Hypo 4
- Long
- Late-Sustained Auction Entry
Additional Notes

Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay
Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
- Total of 15 trades by the end of the month, can take 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
