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
Larger Timeframe

- Price formed a RBR but closed below MN QHi and reacted off MN supply
- Price currently trading above last month’s body but within range
- W1
- Price reacted off W1 QHi leaving a selling wick closing below MN QHi

Narrative
- D1
- D1 Inside Bar but with longer buying wick
- Price still trading within D1 QHi and D1 Supply
- H4
- H4 Consolidation and H4 Bear Engulf rejecting H4 QHi giving H4-C‑S 1935.528 (at VAH)

Additional Notes
- NFP tomorrow
Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling tired so will take extra caution
Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
- No early exits, either hit SL or target
- Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
- Risk Management
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
