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
- W1 QHi rejected
- Last week closed as a W1 Bullish Inside Bar and price is trading above its body but still within range
- Price is currently trading within last week’s body
- Possibly developing W1 Three Outside Up
Sentiment
- LN open
- Open Within Value
- Market Profile
- Value created below the preceding bracket
- Narrative
- D1 DBD with longer buying wick
- D1 QLo rejection and price trading mid swing
- H4 QHi rejection and DBD giving H4 C‑Sup (at VAH) that got tested in premarket
- Old H4 C‑Dem at VAL
- Prev. Day Exceeded ADR by 1.08, possible momentum
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1
- Balancing Market
- Play off nearby ADR or LTF SD levels using LTF entry
- Monitor for Failed Auction
- Hypo 2
- Long
- Late-Sustained Auction Entry, risky with H4 QHi right above
- Hypo 3
- Short
- Auction Fade
- Hypo 4
- Short
- Late-Sustained Auction Entry
Additional Notes
- N.A.
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
