BWR,

I'm using this system, on GFT it still works although I can't upload all the targets you have here. Keep up the good stuff.

See if you can manually change your fibo tools, If you can then use the settings I posted earlier, I don't use the indicators because I like to draw my fibo lines manually.

So far, so good!

I need to work on my exit points and fib's, otherwise, the entry is not much of a problem since I trade on the daily TF.

Hi BWR,
Im just wondering as an example I am looking at eurusd now, and I have plugged in the Bo Fib to replace my regular fibs on mt4, would you be looking at this last swing from the low around 1.4790 to the high at 1.4845 to get your long short etc areas, or would you use the whole last drop from fridays high to low...thanks...so the idea would be the 13x100 cross indicating a long on hourly, followed by the 8x13 cross on 4hr and once we move into the Bofib long area you would call that a long entry /add on point, is that right? Thanks, Raz
Never say never.

Thats right on

Start with the weekly TF and draw a fibo there to see where important levels are. You can leave it there if you like or make a mental note and then draw a fib on the daily, then 4hr and then the 1hr if you like. The fib must be drawn from the high to the low of the last major movement, If you leave all of the fibs on your chart then it will just be cluttered and you wont know what you are looking at. I use two fibs max. The trade zones are in the Pivot, short, long levels. I wait until a candle closes or clearly breaks out of those levels before executing a trade, the fibs help you with the timing of the trade and projected targets and S&R levels, the ema's help you with the trend and it's strength, Both systems work very well when all of the signals line up.

So here is a "Trading Plan" if you don't know what that is then stop trading NOW!!! Print this out, make dozens of copies and fill one out for every pair you trade every day. You can change it to fit your own requirements.
By filling this out every morning you now have a plan of what you would like the market to do before you enter a trade. This can help to avoid mistakes like forgetting your previous analysis and so forth, I keep mine in a binder so I have a record of what I did. This can have dramatic results in your trading if you have the discipline to fill it out every morning and keep it next to your computer until that trade is completed or if it never happened.
Good Luck. Sorry but I could not up load it so I copied it. It's very easy to make on word.

Trading plan

Date: Pair:


Weekly and Daily Chart:





4hr chart:





1hr chart:





Support and Resistance:





Where is the trend (200)?





What pattern or wave are we in?





What are the targets?



How will you trade this?

I'm thinking of going long Actually my mind is not made up yet. Everybody and their mother is calling for a dollar rebound but when? Is this the start or are we just going to test the lows and go up to new highs like the other half of the people are calling for. Right now we are at the pivot of the last movement on the 4hr. So it could go either way from here. Welcome to the thread.

Here is EurChf 4hr. Below the 200 in a down trend, 8 crossed the 13 price bounced off of the short fib level. BIG time support at the S1 level as that is also the 200 on the monthly, I am already short on this pair but will be watching this level closely.

my fib is placed differently yo yours (1.6727-1.5825) but still puts us in the same short to s1 area, i'm watching for the 8x13 daily cross and a break of s1 at 1.5997.

also watching GbpChf for a daily cross, but tempted to enter on the retracement to the 4h 8ma

did enter long at the pivot on EU (1.4650), looks like i got that one wrong, should have waited until the cross confirms - it's the Jacko 50% method.

I was tempted to go long EU as well but held off. now looking to go short if the daily short level is broken which would make the daily 8 and 13 cross.
on EurChf my fib is draw from 1.6827 to 1.5821 on the weekly chart.
Plus the 13 tested the 100 and went down so this is a long term (maybe) trade for me.
As far as GBPCHF it is still in the no trade zone on the 4hr. still in this range correction. I would wait for daily conformation as well.

Hi BWR,
Im placing my bo fibs the same way I would normally (except for always high to low) but yesterday my buy area would have been very high on eur...normally I wouldnt have considered buying in such a high area but I think the good thing about mas being a lagging indicator is that they get you in when there is real momentum, especially on higher timeframes ie we are never going to catch the bottom or the top so lets get in when things are already on their way...so again my buy area today on eur comes in up above 4700, so we would wait for hourly 8x13 cross, and a move into that buy area before going long.. I see the 100 and 200 have inverted so maybe an indication that we wont be seeing a move up just yet. Here is my chart, btw is it worth fibbing that last downmove from 1.4660 to low or would you not bother..thks Raz

Market sentiment right now is fear, we are in a bear market and any up movement is false rallys. I would like to buy and hold but I don't think that will be the case for some time. Most guru economists are saying would should at least test the lows again before resuming a bull market and by looking at the charts I would agree. EU is in a corrective flat which means the best way to trade this is a scalp or not at all. But as they say just follow what your charts say and my charts are saying this is a bunch of shit.

Not really because it is not a clear low, it still has the possibility to go lower.
Once it starts to retrace toward the S1 area then it would be worth to draw a fib there however this retracement on the 1hr chart is more of a stall then a retracement.
