02 Jun Premarket Prep USDCAD 06022020
This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for the Forex pair USDCAD. 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.
Non-conjecture observations of the market
- Big bar down away from D1/H4 conterminous 1.37816
- New H4 conterminous supply 1.37076
- Price moved for the first time within previous H4 demand from March 9th but no reaction (yet)
- Market Profile
- Current Day High 1.358 is 115 pips away from PVAL but AS has not continued trending away although made a LL at 1.355
- AS is 7 pips within session range
- I will reassess MP before and during London IB
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- Weekly is showing a sustained move away from previous phase 3 but it is still early in the week to conclude anything definitive
Sentiment — Slightly Bearish
ZOIs for Possible Shorts
- H4-C‑S 1.37076 NEW
ZOIs for Possible Long
- H4-C‑D 1.36207 OLD
Focus Points for trading development

- Entry rules

- Entry on TPO break of IB
- Early entry with price action confirmation at
- H4 conterminous
- Open far from value, anticipating a move back to value using an engulfing + subsequent break of TPO
- Min. X2 R/R
- Use TPO confirmation or invalidation for directional decisions by looking for in conjunction with H4 conterminous lines
- TPO extension with a sustained move (BO from IB)
- TPO extension with failed auction (return to IB)
- How this direction of TPO extension relates to Value Area open sentiment
- I will post trades including:
- Trade location
