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
Weekly Focus Points
- Min. 3 times working out at home + mandatory cardio
- Trading rules
- Focus on taking ONE trade a day. If I missed the first DTTZ then a trade needs to be taken on the 2nd DTTZ unless there is a high/medium initiative activity day.
- 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
- Buffer trades (profit target >1R) are allowed and encouraged
- 13 trades by the end of the month
- No social media / messenger apps / phone calls allowed during the trading window
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Price trading below last week’s body within range
Non-conjecture observations of the market

- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Balancing Market
- Narrative: open sentiment
- Preferred: Play off LTF SD and or ADR levels
- Con: Bearish sentiment favors shorts.
- Hypo 2 — Value Rejection Down
- Narrative: H4-C‑S 1891.428 within value after an initial rejection of H4 QHi,
- Preferred: confident close below VAL coinciding with IB extension, sustained auction
- Con: LTF demand at VAL created during the consolidation in LN
- Hypo 3 — Value Rejection Up
- Narrative: Possible continuation to the D1 Bullish Inside Bar.
- Preferred: Strong Bullish PA closing above VAH coinciding with IB extension.

Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay
Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
- Total of 13 trades by the end of the month
- Weekly Goal
- Min. 3 times working out at home + mandatory cardio
- Risk Management
- Without forcing a trade: aim to take 1 trade a day, if possible 2.
- Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
