The purpose of a premarket prep is to find setups within my weekly trade plan bias

Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay but taking it easy
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
