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 RBR (taking out supply and closed above 1.94, right below VWAP) confirming a transition to phase 2, price is now trading at VWAP, D1-C‑D 1.92284 BASE formed
- Price closed well above H4/D1 QLo
- H4 RBR giving H4-C‑D 1.94262 BASE now trading below H4-C‑S 1.94667 (but no higher time frame supplies)
- Market Profile
- 2 consecutive profiles printed above the previous
- ADR: 1483
- ASR: 1451
- 363
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.94476
- Yesterday’s Low 1.91538
- Price above value(¾ ASR), range and yesterday’s high
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Trading above W1 Demand but still within QLo
Sentiment
- Locations
- H4-C‑S 1.94667
- H4-C‑D 1.94262 BASE
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Above value, outside range
- Open distance to value
- ¾ ASR but made a high to 0.9xASR
- Sentiment
- Due to not fulfilling mean reversion factors at the open, might be indicative of higher momentum and could be looking at a continuation
- But because we did hit it at ADR 0.5 we might see a mean reversion.
- With H4-C‑D 1.94262 BASE not far below, if hit, we could see a further retracement.
- Due to not fulfilling mean reversion factors at the open, might be indicative of higher momentum and could be looking at a continuation
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- Hypo 1 — continuation long
- Momentum trade long extending IB range during 1st two hours, sustained auction taking out H4 supply
- Con: trading right into H4 supply
- Hypo 2 — Mean Reversion
- Price action confirming reversal, IB extension down,
- Preferred: hitting H4-C‑D 1.94262 BASE we could see a further retracement, monitor value acceptance for a potential continuation to the move.
- Hypo 3 — Contingency on Hypo 1
- No momentum, slight IB extension up followed by failed auction
- Preferred: similar to Hypo 2
Additional notes

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
