This is my pre­mar­ket prep for today’s Euro­pean ses­sion for GOLD. 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

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• W1 QHi rejected
• Last week closed as a W1 Bull­ish Inside Bar and price is trad­ing above its body but still with­in range
  • Price is cur­rent­ly trad­ing with­in last week’s body
  • Pos­si­bly devel­op­ing W1 Three Out­side Up
  • Price made a new HH and is test­ing W1 sup­ply not far below below W1 QHi and MN C‑Sup

Sen­ti­ment

• Nar­ra­tive
  • Big D1 Bull Engulf fol­lowed by an Grave­stone Doji (leav­ing sell­ing wick after react­ing off D1QHi), price is cur­rent­ly trad­ing below pos­si­bly devel­op­ing a D1 Evening Star
  • H4 Bear­ish Inside Bar (at D1 QHi) with slow fol­low-through mak­ing a DBD giv­ing H4 C‑Sup (with­in Value)
  • Mixed Trend
  • Asia formed a Neu­tral Day
  • IB tra­versed down and broke yesterday’s low (which is near VAL)
  • Wide IBR 1xASR, tra­vers­ing down trad­ing at ADR 0.5 low not far from ADR exhaus­tion, pos­si­ble momen­tum, although dou­ble-wham­my of respon­sive activ­i­ty com­bined with open sentiment
• LN open
  • Open With­in Value
• Mar­ket Profile
  • Val­ue cre­at­ed extend­ed above the pre­vi­ous range and price is trad­ing below
• Clar­i­ty (1–5, 5 being best)
  • 4
• Hypo 1
  • Short
  • Weak­ness From With­in IBR
• Hypo 2
  • Long
  • Failed Auc­tion
  • (pos­si­ble rever­sal at ADR 0.5 Low which I’ll be mon­i­tor­ing for my playbook)
• Hypo 3
  • Short
  • Failed Auc­tion
• Hypo 4
  • Short
  • Late-Sus­tained Auction

Addi­tion­al Notes

• N.A.

Mind­ful Trad­ing (lack of sleep?)

• Feel­ing okay

Focus Points for trad­ing development

• Month­ly Goals
  • No momen­tum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
  • Total of 15 trades by the end of the month, can take 2 a day (not in the same prod­uct at the same time) 
  • No ear­ly exits, either hit SL or 2R target
  • Use SL scal­ing in case the prof­it tar­get for the set­up doesn’t pro­vide 2R for exam­ple for FA or VAA setups
• Process
  • Keep trade review com­ments short
• Risk Man­age­ment
  • 2 con­sec­u­tive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
