This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for GOLD. This prep builds off of my weekly trade plan I made here:

Additional Notes

Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING — I will just sit and observe
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
