Trading Techniques By Fibonacci
Fibonacci,was an Italian mathematician.He has a number sequence named after him which is known as the Fibonacci numbers.In the Fibonacci sequence of numbers,each number is the sum of the previous two numbers,starting with 0 and 1. Thus the sequence begins 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377,610 etc.That is,after two starting values,each number is the sum of the two preceding 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 thumb rule mentions that the retracement levels show about 50%, and the previously mentioned levels attracts the price by behaving like magnets. The price must be said by the persons who are familiar on those levels. Always the prices do not remain in the steady state. Stocks, futures, forex,all instruments which are liquid,will often oscilate in Fibonacci proportions.
The charts of price scale and time scale can be enhanced with the applications of Fibonacci numbers. With the few simple indicators of Fibonacci ratio, can be used to determine robable price turning points,optimum entry,exit and stop-loss levels.
After identifying the primary trend, use price reversal pattern recognition to coincide with a fibonacci retracement level to confirm that the countertrend move has ceased.Then look for the stock to test the recent lows and double bottom or break through that level.
The trader must have the awareness of the international markets since “risk arbitrage” in the market situations mainly in “forex trading”. For assistance “forex signal trading” can be used by the trader. While performing “forex rading” the currency of one nation is being moved to the other nation, so the trader must be aware of that.
For beginner traders it might be too complex for using the applications of Fibonacci towards trading and takes time to make him perfect. These Fibonacci retracement levels are being used by many beginning traders. And it is also used by the advanced traders also to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
