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 Focus Points
- Only trade off M30/M15 for entries. M30, time-based, or look for exits after 2 hours (4 TPOs). Unless the entry is really late.
- SL placement
- Add spread for shorts, subtract for longs
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Price trading above W1-C‑D 1.94836 Base and last week’s body but within range
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 closed back into overhead supply
- H4 large bull engulf (giving H4-C‑D 1.95875) reaching for H4-C‑S 1.96573, no follow-through, instead consolidation with Bear Engulf with longer selling wick
- Market Profile
- Bracketing
- ADR: 1362
- ASR: 1299
- 33
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.96816
- Yesterday’s Low 1.95375
- Currently above value within range
Sentiment
- Locations
- H4-C‑D 1.95875 BASE at VAH and ADR 0.5 low
- H4-C‑D 1.95532 at VAL and LTF demand
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Above value, within range
- Open distance to value
- 0.2xASR
- Sentiment
- Moderate Imbalance, but coming off the reversal at range high and follow through from overhead supply and H4 QHi we might see a continuation down. More confidence if we close below H4-C‑D 1.95875 BASE.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Value Acceptance (short)
- If ‘deep close’ I will wait for a retest of edge. Not much demand underneath until VAL.
- Hypo 2 — Return to value (long)
- H4-C‑D 1.95875 at VAH and ADR 0.5
- Preferred: PA reversal, slight extension down, failed auction and follow-through extending over the top.
Additional notes
- N.A.

Mindful Trading
- Feeling tired. Didn’t get adequate sleep.
Focus Points for trading development

- Feeling okay with NOT trading
- Have ‘quieter’ weekends
- Weekly Goal
- Min. 3 times hitting the gym
- Trading Rules
- Trade from D and upwards unless a possible momentum trade, value acceptance or otherwise.
- Risk Management
- 3 trades 1% risk, 3rd trade only if first 2 worked out
- Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
