This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for DAX. 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 made a LL but is currently trading within last month’s body
- MN QHi rejected but price started rejecting off MN QHi
- W1
- W1 Base after a Three Inside Up
- W1 QLo rejected
- Price made a HH
Narrative
- D1
- Possible D1 Phase 1 / 3
- Price traded and closed higher taking out D1 Supply (still trading in older D1 Supply
- D1 QLo rejected, price trading mid swing
- Prev. Day Exceeded ADR by 1.16
- H4
- H4 Inside Bar at D1 Supply without continuation, instead a slow crawl higher
- Price took out H4 QHi and closed higher
- Trend
- Trend is Down 2/3
- Market Profile
- Wide value created above the previous although still within overall range (at the top)
- LN Open
- 0.23xASR Above Value, Within Range

Additional Notes

Hypos
- Hypo 1

- Value Acceptance
- Hypo 2
- Long
- Return to Value, VAH Reversal, risky with bear engulf right above, perhaps best for price to clear that first
- Possible Failed Auction
- Hypo 3
- Short
- Auction Fade
- Hypo 4
- Long
- Auction Fade
Clarity
- 3
Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling a bit tired, late in the month. I’m in the profit for the month so won’t take any unnecessary risks.
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
