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 trading within body after having made a LL
- MN QHi rejected, price trading mid swing
- W1
- Price trading within body and Wide W1 QLo
Narrative
- D1
- D1 Pinbar / Hammer within demand followed by a D1 Spinning Top
- Price trading within Wide D1 QLo (sharing the same level as W1 QLo)
- H4
- H4 QLo rejected, price trading mid swing although nearing H4 QHi
- H4 consolidation, hugging, around H4 VWAP in DT

- LN Open
- 0.03xASR Above Value, Outside Range (ambiguous open)
- Moderate to Large Imbalance (technically)
- LN Wider than NY
- Asia formed a Neutral Day but mostly traded higher
- 0.27xASR Tight IBR
- A TPO accepted value, C TPO extended below and rotated through value taking out H4 demand

Clarity / Confidence
- 2
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
