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:
The purpose of a premarket prep is to find setups within my weekly trade plan bias
Weekly goal
- Formulate hypos in order of likelihood and track with actual development on the day
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- D1-C‑D 1.97354 proved reactive and price returned back to D1-C‑S 1.98136 forming an almost bull engulf. Possible transition to phase 1 or 2.
- H4-C‑D 1.97135 through phase 1 with consequent transition to phase 2
- H4 rally closing above H4QLo
- Market Profile

- Locations

- Hypo 1 — Mean Reversion
- Above value, outside range at D1-C‑S 1.98136 about 1xASR away
- Cons H4 QLo, price above H4 VWAP
- Hypo 2: long
- D1 bull engulf, no test of VWAP after crossing down, possibly taking out H4 supply. Preferred: taking out of overhead supply with sustained auction, exhausting ADR. Cons: Profile sentiment due to locataion away from VAH.

Focus Points for trading development
- Weekly Goal
- Formulate hypos in order of likelihood and track with actual development on the day
- Incorporate profile day type
- Trading Rules
- If Open outside of value consider the placement in relation to ADR
- Don’t take into consideration medium time frame c‑lines past 24 hours
- FX within value > DAX
- Risk Management
- 3 trades 1% risk, 3rd trade only if first 2 worked out
- OK to take 1R when in DD
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
