Fibonacci was the great mathematician from Italy. He founded the new sequence of numbers and it was named after him called as fibonacci. The 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377,610 etc are the numbers of this sequence which has the starting of 0 and 1. Each number in this sequence is the sum of the preceding two numbers.

While moving forward with the larger numbers in the sequence, the division of the two closer consecutive numbers results in the golden ratio. And this golden ratio’s where used by trading stocks , they produce primary and secondary results. Onward direction refers in the primary result and opposite direction refers the secondary result.

In the primary trend the retracement levels of the fibonacci numbers are as 38.2%,50%,61.8%. The basic stock charting applications are handled with the standard levels . They act like magnets only the counter trend rally takes place in the fibonacci retracement levels. Other then these levels they provide resistance. and they 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.

Fibonacci ratios may be applied to the Price scale,and also to the time scale of charts.Many traders use Fibonacci ratios with a few simple indicators that can help them to determine probable 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.

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”.

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.
