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 DBD to D1 50MA but no D1 or W1 demand below
- Push away from H4-C‑S 1.97413 (testing supply aain with selling wick) arriving at H4-C‑D 1.96133 before forming a strong inside bar with no follow-through that turned into a consolidation forming some demand (H4-C‑D 1.96760) although price hasn’t left it
- Took out H4 QLo and made a new one so currently mid swing
- Market Profile
- ADR: 1207
- ASR: 923
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.97578
- Yesterday’s Low 1.96219
- Price within day range near day low
- Locations
- H4-C‑D 1.96760 within value
- Yesterday’s low = VAL
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Below last week’s range around W1-C‑D 1.97865 BASE
Sentiment
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Within value
- Open distance to value
- N.A.
- Sentiment
- Bearish
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — responsive activity
- Hypo 2 — short value rejection
- (This is what I had hoped for earlier but we had an open within value. Below Value, outside range but Yesterday’s low = VAL so grounds for moderate imbalance and continuation to the move.
- Momentum continuation trade)
- Preferred: Confident close outside of value,price action confirming a sustained auction down, hitting ADR exhaustion calling in the possibility for an abnormal day.
- Hypo 3 — Long
- long off H4 C‑Dem but since LN opened within value this is somewhat more risky. Might try a half sized position.
- Preferred M30 Bull engulf reversal on H4 c‑dem
Additional notes
- N.A.
ZOIs for Possible Shorts
- D1-C‑S 1.98136
- H4-C‑S 1.97413
ZOIs for Possible Long
- H4-C‑D 1.96760
- H4-C‑D 1.96133
Mindful Trading
- A bit tired
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
