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
- MN
- Price reacted off MN supply but is still trading within MN QHi
- Price is back trading at MN C‑Sup

- W1 Evening Star rejecting W1 QHi
- Price is currently trading within, retracing, last week’s body
Narrative

- H4
- H4 Phase 2 forming demand above D1 C‑Dem
- H4 QLo rejected with price trading mid swing

- Moderate Imbalance
- 0.18xASR Tight IBR
- Asia formed a Neutral Day but predominantly traded down
Additional Notes
- Price traded higher but might see some sell off due to today being Friday
Hypos
- Hypo 1
- Long
- Sustained Auction, possibly late-sustained auction preferred due to new H4 Supply in the way
- Hypo 2
- Short
- Failed Auction
- Hypo 3
- Short
- Auction Fade, possible reversal at H4 Supply
Clarity
- 3
Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Didn’t have the best sleep 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
