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:

WTI Crude Week 30 Trad­ing Plan

The pur­pose of a pre­mar­ket prep is to find setups with­in my week­ly trade plan bias.

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• D1 trad­ed above pre­ced­ing day but still with­in D1 sup­ply D1-C‑S 41.404
• H4 drop con­sol­i­da­tion drop, try­ing to duck under D1-C‑S 41.404 we had an inside bar and con­se­quent move up (cre­at­ing new demand H4-C‑D 41.197) to H4-C‑S 41.889 where price start­ed con­sol­i­dat­ing underneath
• Mar­ket Profile

  • Price cur­rent­ly above VAH, start­ed 17 ticks above val­ue pro­ceed­ed to about 50 presently

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• Trad­ing above larg­er time frame range

• D1-C‑D 40.377
• H4-C‑D M.S. 40.243

Mind­ful Trading

• Slept light but I feel okay.

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
