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

- Price is currently testing W1 QLo and W1 demand
Narrative

Additional Notes

Hypos

- Value Acceptance, possible Late-Sustained Auction
- Hypo 3
- Short
- Late-Sustained Auction
- (forward-testing as a possible continuation to Hypo 1 in case of a tight IBR although no moot as IB traded higher testing value)
- Hypo 4
- Long
- Auction Fade
Clarity
- 3
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
