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 closed as bull engulf with longer buying wick although not strongly within supply, potential continuation to the consolidation
- Price trading within H4/D1 QLo
- H4 Morning Star at D1-C_D 1.91303 followed by RBR but not closing strongly in overhead supply, instead followed by Bear Engulf (at H4 VWAP)
- Market Profile
- ADR: 1360
- ASR: 1146
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.92053
- Yesterday’s Low 1.91120
- Price within day range in the middle (within value)
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan

- Sentiment
- Slight imbalance, failure to break or close within overhead supply (and H4 VWAP) I am more likely looking for a continuation to the move down.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Short
- Preferred: IB extension down, sustained auction, ADR exhaustion and consequently take out H4 demand
- Hypo 2 — Value Acceptance Long
- Value Rotation
- Hypo 3 — Value Acceptance and then short, rotating through, bouncing off H4-C‑S 1.91939
- Price action reversal at H4 C‑sup, TPO build, Single print fade.
- Hypo 4 — Long
- Preferred: Consolidation and strong bullish finisher, value acceptance and rotation, sustained auction taking out LTF supplies, closing within overhead H4 supply

Mindful Trading

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
- 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
