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
- MN Bear Engulf rejecting MN QHi
- Price made a LL and started reacting off MN demand
- W1
- W1 Bullish Inside Bar at W1 QLo
- Price made a HH and is trading above body and range
Narrative
- D1
- D1 QLo rejected and price is trading mid swing
- Price is trading around D1 VWAP, although closed above price formed a Bear Engulf with no continuation. Instead a Hammer.
- H4
- H4 Three Inside Up giving H4-C‑D 1846.492 (within value) turning into a RBR
- Trend
- Mixed Trend: Up, Down, Up
- Market Profile
- Value created below the previous
- LN Open
- 0.39xASR Above Value, Outside Range
- Moderate to Large Imbalance
- Asia formed a Neutral Day but mostly traded higher
- 0.27xASR Tight IBR
- LN wider than NY
Additional Notes

Hypos

Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay
Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- Either hit SL or target, reassess after Trading Window Close
- 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
