This is my pre­mar­ket prep for today’s Euro­pean ses­sion for the Forex pair GBPNZD. This prep builds off of my week­ly trade plan I made here:

GBPNZD Week 17 Trad­ing Plan

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

Week­ly Focus Points

• Min. 3 times hit­ting the gym + manda­to­ry cardio
• Only trade the main account
• Be mind­ful of DTTZs
• Only price-action based exit rules (or if hit time stop comes earlier)
• M15/M30 entries and exits at 1st DTTZ, M5 entries and exits at 2nd DTTZ

Com­pared against Week­ly Trad­ing Plan

• W1 Phase 4 near­ing W1 QLo / W1 VWAP trad­ing below last week’s body and range

Non-con­jec­ture obser­va­tions of the market

• Price action
  • D1 DBD clos­ing deep with­in D1-C‑D 1.92900 trad­ing at D1 LKC and W1-C‑D 1.92120
  • H4 Bear Engulf at H4 VWAP in DT giv­ing H4-C‑S 1.92671 clos­ing deep­er into H4 demand with some reac­tion and con­se­quent rever­sal at H4 swing low
  • Price trad­ing with­in H4 QLo
• Trend: H4 Up, D1 Down, W1 Up
  • Pre­vail­ing trend: Mixed Trend

    • Closed as a H4 doji with slight­ly longer buy­ing wick, pos­si­ble base, com­ing from W1 demand.
  • Nar­ra­tive
    • Bal­anc­ing Mar­ket. Although pre­mar­ket there has been a move away from W1 demand. Wide Val­ue cre­at­ed sig­nal­ing a pos­si­bil­i­ty for more inter­est at these levels.

  • 4
• Hypo 1 — Bal­anc­ing Market
  • Nar­ra­tive: open sentiment

  • Con: No brack­et, at the end of a DT, pos­si­bil­i­ty for a rever­sal here
• Hypo 2 — Val­ue Rejec­tion Up
  • Nar­ra­tive: Wide val­ue cre­at­ed in a DT at W1 demand trad­ing with­in D1 demand, pre­mar­ket trad­ed up.

  • Con: Open at VAL, H4 C‑sup
• Hypo 3 — Val­ue Rejec­tion Down

• Feel­ing okay although not a 100%

Focus Points for trad­ing development

• Month­ly Goals

  • M15/M30 com­bi­na­tion at 1st DTTZ, M5 entries and exits at 2nd DTTZ
• Trad­ing Rules
  • Trade from D and upwards unless a pos­si­ble momen­tum trade, val­ue accep­tance or otherwise. 
• Risk Man­age­ment
  • 3 trades 1% risk, 3rd trade only if first 2 worked out
  • Cap­i­tal Preser­va­tion dur­ing draw­down allows for 1R profit-taking
  • 2 con­sec­u­tive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
