This is my pre­mar­ket prep for today’s Euro­pean ses­sion for the Forex pair GBPNZD. This prep builds off of my week­ly trade plan I made here:

GBPNZD Week 17 Trad­ing Plan

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

Week­ly Focus Points

• Min. 3 times hit­ting the gym + manda­to­ry cardio
• Only trade the main account
• Be mind­ful of DTTZs
• Only price-action based exit rules (or if hit time stop comes earlier)
• M15/M30 entries and exits at 1st DTTZ, M5 entries and exits at 2nd DTTZ

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• W1 Phase 4 with price cur­rent­ly trad­ing below last week’s body and range
• Slight reac­tion off W1 VWAP and W1-C‑D 1.92120 (pos­si­ble BASE)

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

  • Cap­i­tal Preser­va­tion dur­ing draw­down allows for 1R profit-taking
