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 Bear Engulf with an attempt to close over QLo giving D1-C‑S 1.91979 currently trading within previous underlying demand
- H4-C‑S 1.93057 formed through Bear Engulf closing back into QLo with consequent messy way down closing below the bracketing range
- H4 failed to break out into UT instead pushed back into range (low)
- Market Profile
- Profiles Bracketing but price closed below bracketing range
- ADR: 1446
- ASR: 1410
- 352
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.93813
- Yesterday’s Low 1.91259
- Price below yesterday’s low
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Back trading within W1 Demand
Sentiment
- Locations
- H4-C‑S 1.93057 within value just below H4 QLo
- D1-C‑S 1.91979 at VAL
- ADR 0.5 right below yesterday’s low and D1-C‑D 1.91303
- ADR exhaustion
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Below Value, outside range
- Open distance to value
- 1xASR
- Sentiment
- H4 failed to break out into UT instead pushed back into range with a possibility for continuation if range low gets taken out. IB already extended back into range and there is not much space left before hitting VAL.D1-C‑S 1.91979 is at VAL with some LTF supplies could make for a good return to value play.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Mean Reversion
- Hypo 2 — Return to value (short)
- D1-C‑S 1.91979 at VAL with LTF supplies
- Preferred: Fake out extending up, price action confirming reversal, failed auction with quick play through IB range and extending down.
- Hypo 3 — Value Acceptance (long)
Additional notes
- N.A.

Focus Points for trading development
- Weekly Goal

- 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
