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
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- W1 QHi rejected
- Last week closed as a W1 Bullish Inside Bar and price is trading above its body but still within range
- Price is currently trading within last week’s body

Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
- Total of 15 trades by the end of the month, can take 2 a day (not in the same product at the same time)
- No early exits, either hit SL or 2R target
- Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
- Process
- Keep trade review comments short
- Risk Management
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
