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 the main account
- Focus on time-based exits
- Don’t look at M5 chart unless within the last hour of trading window
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Still trading above last week’s close and made a new high
- W1 QLo rejection
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 closed as an Inside Bar with long selling wick within D1 supply (still intact)
- H4 Phase 3 although due to larger timeframe bullish sentiment this could be a redistribution
- Premarket: H4 Bull Engulf at H4 C‑dem with no immediate follow-through instead an Inside Bar
- Trend: H4 UP, D1 DOWN, W1 DOWN
- Market Profile
- Wider value created below previous value
- ADR: 1470
- ASR: 1217
- 31
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.94517
- Yesterday’s Low 1.93316
Sentiment
- Locations
- H4-C‑S 1.94100 above VAH within range at M30 QHi at ADR 0.5 High
- H4-C‑D 1.93783 within value
- LTF demand at VAL within M30 QLo
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Within Value
- Open distance to value
- N.A.
- Narrative
- Balancing Market. With several rejections of supply without follow-through down and larger timeframe bullish sentiment the sentiment is still overall slightly bullish. Premarket H4 closed as an Inside Bar that could go either way so will let market profile guide the way.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 4
- Hypo 1 — Balancing Market
- Narrative: Open within value, possible H4 Phase 1 / 3
- Preferred: Play off nearby LTF SD and ADR levels
- Hypo 2 — Value Rejection Up
- Narrative: H4 bull engulf followed by an inside bar that could potentially be a base in line with larger timeframe bullish sentiment. Plus price opened below VAH.
- Preferred: Early confident close above VAH coinciding with IB extension up, taking out LTF supply, sustained auction up.
- Con: H4 supply (although tested many times)
Additional notes
- N.A.
ZOIs for Possible Shorts
- H4-C‑S 1.94100 (old)

Mindful Trading

- Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
