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
- Min. 3 times hitting the gym + mandatory cardio
- Only trade the main account
- Be mindful of DTTZs
- Only price-action based exit rules (or if hit time stop comes earlier)
- M15/M30 entries and exits at 1st DTTZ, M5 entries and exits at 2nd DTTZ
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Trading at 50% mark of last week’s candle retracing the Three Outside Down
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Price action
- D1 Bull Engulf giving D1-C‑D 1.94900 with price returning to D1 VWAP in UT possible CAR although this same level is coinciding with D1-C‑S 1.95933 BASE level thus there could be a continuation to the move.
- Mid D1 swing
- H4-C‑D 1.95532 BASE created after H4 VWAP in DT BO arriving at H4 supply coinciding with D1-C‑S 1.95934 BASE level and H4 50MA in DT
- Mid H4 swing
- Trend: H4 Down, D1 Up, W1 Up
- Prevailing trend: trend is up although price is getting some push back due to hitting larger timeframe supply
- Market Profile
- First value created above previous value in DT thus potentially starting a UT
- Daily Range
- ADR: 1051
- ASR: 811
- 21
- Day
- Yesterday’s High 1.95670
- Yesterday’s Low 1.94486
Sentiment
- Locations
- D1-C‑S 1.95934 BASE ADR 0.5 High
- H4-C‑D 1.95532 BASE at VAH
- Sentiment
- LN open
- Above Value, Outside Range
- Open distance to value
- 0.5xASR
- Premarket
- H4 closed slightly within H4 supply after hitting D1 supply base level.
- Narrative
- Moderate to large imbalance at the open it could go either way due to base level being hit and open sentiment. ALthough with a H4 demand base level at VAH this could also mean a short term reversal.
- LN open
- Clarity (1–5, 5 being best)
- 3
- Hypo 1 — Return to Value
- Narrative: D1 supply base level hit, close within H4 supply, H4 demand base level at VAH could keep price higher
- Preferred: Strong Bullish price action with IB extension up and sustained auction. Possible low/medium initiative activity due to trading right into supply.
- Con: H4 supply
- Hypo 2 — Value Acceptance
- Narrative: Negating Hypo 1 would be an acceptance of value
- Preferred: early acceptance
- Con: D1 supply base hit
Additional notes
- Capital Preservation Rule in effect
ZOIs for Possible Shorts
- D1-C‑S 1.95934 BASE
ZOIs for Possible Long
- H4-C‑D 1.95532 BASE
- W1-C‑D 1.96978
Mindful Trading

- No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
- Feeling okay with NOT trading
- Have ‘quieter’ weekends
- Weekly Goal
- Min. 3 times hitting the gym + mandatory cardio
- Only trade the main account
