Fibonacci is an indicator which assists\ntraders to find entry points and to identify possible take profit levels.\nFibonacci levels identify key support and resistance levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest difference between Fibonacci and\nother indicators is that Fibonacci is a law of nature. An Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano\nBigollo discovered the \u2018golden ratio\u2019 to\nbe 0.618.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important thing to know about using\nFibonacci is that it works best in a trending market. Fibonacci retracements\nhelp traders in determining entry points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traders enter long on a retracement Fibonacci support\nlevel when the market is in an uptrend and enter short on a Fibonacci resistance\nlevel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get the retracement levels on Fibonacci,\nyou need to find the most recent and significant swing highs and swing lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s how to use the Fibonacci tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the market is in a downtrend, click on\nthe swing high, then drag the cursor to the most recent swing low. In an\nuptrend, you will click on the swing low and drag the cursor to the swing high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, Fibonacci will show you\nretracement levels at 23.6%, 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the price pulls back to the level between\nthe 50% and the 61.8%, that is a good zone to buy or sell, depending on whether\nthe market is in an uptrend or downtrend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some traders use 38.2% retracement to enter\ntrades. The market has shown that it\nretraces to the 50% and 61.8% in most cases. The market will retrace to 38.2% only\nin very strong trends, in most cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Fibonacci is a powerful tool to\ndetermine entry points, you should use it in conjuction with other tools e.g.\nsupport and resistance. If the 50% or 61.8% retracements line up with strong\nsupport or resistance,it is another confirmation that the market will retrace\nto that level before continuing in the direction of the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another great confirmation could include a\ncandlestick pattern such as a hammer or shooting star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the market retraces beyond the 61.8% level,\nit could be an indication that the trend is not as strong any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fibonacci retracements help us to identify\ngood entry points, but Fibonacci extensions help us to set take profit targets.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extensions help traders to estimate how far the\nprice will go after it has retraced. Fibonacci retracements levels use 23.6%, 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%,\nwhereas Fibonacci extensions are 123.6%, 138.2%, 150% and 161.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To plot the extensions on your Fibonacci, go to Fibonacci properties, Fibo levels and enter -0.236, -0.382, -0.50 and -0.618.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
