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.

• D1-C-D 40.377

Mindful Trading

• Slept well. 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
