Gold 2021 Week 38 Trad­ing Plan

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

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• Price trad­ing with­in last week’s body above W1 QLo

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• Price action
  • D1 Bear­ish Inside Bar at MN-C‑S 1768.539
  • H4 DBD giv­ing H4-C‑S 1774.571 arriv­ing at H4-C‑D 1762.664 above H4 QLo
• Trend: H4 Down, D1 Down, W1 Up
  • Pre­vail­ing trend: Trend is DOWN 2/3
• Mar­ket Profile
  • Val­ues in UT with price cur­rent­ly trad­ing below value
• Dai­ly Range
  • ADR: 24389

    • 366
  • Day
    • Yes­ter­day’s High 1787.070

Sen­ti­ment

• LN open
  • Below Val­ue, Out­side Range

  • Mod­er­ate to Large Imbal­ance. Trend is Down 2/3. H4 DBD, D1 Bear­ish Inside Bar after a Morn­ing Star rejec­tion of W1 QLo with no fol­low-through. D1 QHi reject­ed and price is trad­ing mid swing. H4-C‑S 1774.571 with­in val­ue. Price retraced to a H4 base sup­ply lev­el com­ing from H4 demand near H4 QLo there might be some reac­tion first. 
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 4
• Hypo 1
  • Return to Val­ue, Rever­sal short (could be off LTF Sup­ply), pos­si­ble failed auc­tion short
• Hypo 2
  • Auc­tion Fade Short
• Hypo 3
  • Sus­tained Auc­tion Up, (very risky) late-sus­tained auc­tion entry preferred

Addi­tion­al notes

• Fed rate decision

ZOIs for Pos­si­ble Shorts

• D1-C‑S 1794.187
• H4-C‑S 1774.571

ZOIs for Pos­si­ble Long

• MN-C‑D 1739.674

Mind­ful Trad­ing (lack of sleep?)

• Feel­ing okay

Focus Points for trad­ing development

• Month­ly Goals
  • No momen­tum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
  • Total of 20 trades by the end of the month, prefer­ably 2 a day (not in the same prod­uct at the same time) 
• Week­ly Goal
  • Use SL scal­ing in case the prof­it tar­get for the set­up doesn’t pro­vide 2R for exam­ple for FA or VAA setups
  • No ear­ly exits, either hit SL or 2R tar­get, lat­est cut-off 1:30 Lon­don time
• Risk Man­age­ment
  • 2 con­sec­u­tive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING

• Insta­gram
