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
- Price made a new HH and is testing W1 supply not far below below W1 QHi and MN C‑Sup
Sentiment
- LN open
- 1.67xASR Above Value, Outside Range
- Huge Imbalance
- Market Profile
- 2‑day overlapping values with yesterday’s being wider
- Narrative
- Big D1 Bull Engulf taking out D1 Supply giving D1 C‑Dem
- Prev. Day Exceeded ADR by 1.85, possible momentum although with location there could be a pullback
- Price trading just below D1 QHi, QLo rejected
- Trend change: MIXED Trend
- H4 consolidation below D1/H4 QHi (although no test of QHi (yet)
- Asia extended higher
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1
- Short
- Mean Reversion, Sustained Auction
- If price can take out LTF demand and extend downwards
- Hypo 2
- Long
- Late-Sustained Auction Entry
- Huge Imbalance, possible continuation, price would need to take out Asia high and close above
- Risky due to H4/D1 QHi right above
- Hypo 3
- Short
- Auction Fade, possible reversal
- Hypo 4
- Short
- Failed Auction
Additional Notes
- N.A.
Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay but just had some negative news
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
