This is my premarket prep for today’s European session for WTI crude oil. 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 rejection of underlying demand followed by a move up giving H4-C‑D M.S. 40.243 surpassing D1-C‑D 40.377 and making a H4-C‑D RBR 40.722 (thus new demand) testing overhead longtime supply of H4-C‑S 40.865
- Market Profile
- Price trading currently 30–50 ticks above VAH but still hasn’t reached ADR 0.5 (which would coincide with H4 UKC in a range)
Compared against Weekly Trading Plan
- D1 and W1 consolidation continue
Sentiment — Slightly Bullish
ZOIs for Possible Shorts
- H4-C‑S 40.865 (weaker)
- H4-C‑S B.E. 40.692
ZOIs for Possible Long
- H4-C‑D RBR 40.722
- D1-C‑D 40.377
- H4-C‑D M.S. 40.243
Mindful Trading
- Slept good. No nap.
Focus Points for trading development
- Weekly Goal
- Correct position sizing
- Have correct SL placement
- Due to summer time I will focus on trading off newly formed SD ZOIs for intraday plays. Keeping in mind that due to lack of liquidity 2nd chance entries can give better R/R using the M30/M15 rule.
- Risk Management
- Only take 2 trades a day but only have 1 active trade on between the assets
- Only trade off M30 candles
- Trading Priority
- FX pair outside value
- FX pair inside > Gold
- 2+R profit during LN consider trading PNYC
- After 4 losing trades reduce TP to 1.5R but after 1R can consider taking profits
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
