Techniques Of Fibinacci Sequence On Trading

by John Eather

The Italian mathematician was Fibonacci. The Fibonacci numbers is the numbers which is named after him. In this sequence the numbers start with 0 and 1 , and the next number is the sum of the previous numbers. And the sequence is of the form 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377,610 etc. Each number is the addition of the previous two numbers.

On going to the higher sequence of the fibonacci numbers, the closer two consecutive numbers which when divided get the answer of the golden ratio. On applying these ratio’s to the trading stocks, thus results are produced as primary and secondary. One direction result indicates the primary result and the opposite direction refers to the secondary result.

The retracement levels of the most common Fibonacci numbers in the primary trend are 38.2%,50%,61.8%. The most basic stock charting applications use these standard levels. When once the counter trend rally takes place the retracement levels of Fibonacci behaves as magnets. Excluding these levels there are other levels which provide resistance and those levels are 75%, 78.6%, 87.5%, and 88.7%.

The common rule of thumb is that when the 50% retracement level is taken out,the four levels mentioned above become magnets to attract price.The price action must be analyzed by those who understand the working of these levels.Prices never move in a straight line. Stocks, futures, forex,all instruments which are liquid,will often retrace in Fibonacci proportions,and advance in Fibonacci proportions.The more the occurence of this event can result in profitable trades.

The price scale and time scale charts are working with the applications of Fibonacci numbers. Fibonacci ratios with a few simple indicators can be used to determine robable price turning points,optimum entry,exit and stop-loss levels. So, the trader should have a keen watch on his trading.

The usage of reversal pattern recognition of price after identifying the primary trend, which coincides with the fibonacci retracement level to prove that the counter trend move has been over. Then the actual lows and double bottom levels are known from the stocks.

In “forex trading”,the trader must be aware of the international markets as there can be “risk arbitrage” in the market situations.The trader can use “forex signal trading”for the assistance. In Forex trading,the currency of one nation is traded for that of another.So one needs to be fully aware of the market situations in order to be “forex trading”.

This application of Fibonacci to trading can be very complex for a new beginner and does take time and experience to perfect it.Many floor traders use these Fibonacci retracement levels. These levels are used by many advanced traders as well,it allows them to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
