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
- Price made a LL and is trading below body and range
- MN QHi rejected, price trading mid swing although at MN-C‑D 1738.757
- W1
- Price trading below body and range having made a LL
- Price trading within Wide W1 QLo
Narrative
- D1

- Extended H4 consolidation above MN/D1 demand
- Trend
- Strong DT 3/3
- Market Profile
- Values in DT

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
