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

Week­ly Focus Points

• Don’t take trades where SL place­ment is sub­op­ti­mal. Instead, reassess for a bet­ter entry if pos­si­ble. Unless there is a momen­tum play.

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• Trad­ing away from W1 sup­ply deep­er into MN demand arriv­ing at W1-C‑D 1.85877

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

  • D1 cre­at­ed an Inside Bar with long sell­ing wick (with­in D1 Demand)
  • H4 Bull Engulf at pre­vi­ous H4-C‑D 1.86623 clos­ing above H4 QLo with no fol­low-through. Instead an Inside Bar with longer sell­ing wick cre­at­ing new sup­ply giv­ing H4-C‑S 1.87132 and return­ing to pre­vi­ous H4-C‑D 1.86623
  • Price trad­ing with­in D1 QLo right on top of H4 QLo

Sen­ti­ment

• Loca­tions
  • H4-C‑S 1.87132 with­in val­ue at VAL
• Sen­ti­ment
  • LN open
    • With­in Value
  • Open dis­tance to value
    • N.A.
  • Sen­ti­ment
    • Open with­in would mean a bal­anc­ing mar­ket how­ev­er with the price action pre­ced­ing it we might see a con­tin­u­a­tion to the move ie. val­ue rejec­tion up. 
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 4
• Hypo 1 — Swing Rever­sal / val­ue rejec­tion up 
  • Pre­ferred: Ear­ly val­ue accep­tance tak­ing out LTF sup­ply (got tak­en out pre­mar­ket), quick rota­tion, OR Val­ue rejec­tion up. IB exten­sion up with sus­tained auc­tion, tak­ing out LTF sup­ply exhaust­ing ADR
  • Con: new­ly formed H4 sup­ply right above which would be negat­ed by a val­ue accep­tance for the short to medi­um term. 
• Hypo 2 — Bal­anc­ing Market
  • Pre­ferred: Play off near­by LTF SD and ADR levels
• Hypo 3 — Trend Continuation
  • Pre­ferred: Strong bear­ish price action hold­ing with­in under­ly­ing demand. IB exten­sion down
  • Con: lots of demand below mak­ing this very risky.
