Anyone else check out this beautiful weekly fib? Nice opportunity for a reversal trade if you are into that sort of thing. Also looks good when fibbed on the daily. I played this on the breakout and caught some pips on the way back as well. Ifibs are fun!

MB
MB,

I will be able to say I remeber Issy back we he was a mere pip pirate not a Fearsome Pip Lord after he opens the Ifibs thread Issy fibs are a Fan favorite and that says a lot with this bunch of picky hoodlums Cripes after he further perfects Gann He mght be Pirate King of the 7 Pip Seas! I will be the shark tamer on the 36m hole in the ocean

Anywhooo. nice trade!!! For fun try this on for size on the weekly chart go back a candle and fib that then look at it on D1 THEN trade in it on h1. fibs or not.

Also Issy,

that stupid GY fib breakage has bothered me. plus the alcochol lossage thing so I have laboriously worked on this piperfect GY masterpiece. Locked up tighter the Davey jones locker. I could only real time draw the blue one. no clue on big red ( if this isn;t confirmation bias,I don;t know what is) I guess if someone could draw this real time good for you can you come over and hang out?

Skunnnnnnnnnyyyy I neeeed cryptic advice.!! LOl

LOL I still have to get to your emails maniac( I have charts for you!) I am dying over here on my pilgrimage to the Moley land.

I use Dim Gray with Dim gray bull candles black bear candles, black bear and bull bar

I have a bunch of "easy on the eyes" settings white and black chartboards were making my eyes bleed. Seriously some of my chart setting sound like a j crew catalogue ... Goldenrod with Tomato and Grass or cilantro, lemongrass and Tomato I mean do I chart it wear it or EAT IT!!! LOL... pretty masculine though at any rate. need more STEEL grey and NAVY blue FOOTBALL brown (ok I made that up). HA

Dagoods can you explain that red fib?? I THINK i know how I would know to draw it there by looking at lower tfs.. but it is out there and I have to test it.
which normally means I iz wrong !

I may all wrong here, but your fibs look more like Weekly fibs. Does anyone else remember Skunny telling us to draw the Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and then work the Inner Fib. I looked back and we had plenty of discussion about it in January, but I could be mistaken.

A million thanks to both of you! It worked just like you said, wow!
Now I can see what happened in Oct, Nov., & Dec of 2007....This is great!
If I wanted to update this to today's date(Or Jan 2004, for that matter)....How would I go about that? Do I need to delete this original Fib. and reconstruct it, elswhere (according to the new hi-lows), or can I leave it intact, and build another one on a different date, or even a different chart ? Truth is, I don't know how to delete a standing Fibonacci. Sorry, to be such a pest, but I do so want to learn this! I've sworn off any more live trading, until I have mastered this technique.
Thanks again!

Not a problem at all, someone taught me how to do it, also.

To move, change the properties, say the color of the fib, or to delete it, you left click on the vertical/diagonal line until the little white boxes appear, then right click the line and the menu will appear with the different options. When you have the boxes, you can then put the cursor on the center box and drag the fib to any place you want, but from experience, scrunch the size up so it is easier to find after you move it or sometimes you loose it, also be sure to set it over candles rather than empty chart space as you do. For the boxes, same procedure, just click on any corner until the boxes appear, and the center box is in the middle of the box. This works for any kind of line or shape you place on your chart.

I stopped trading, as well, until I have this. I just started demo trading again.

One thing that could make it easier for you to use Mt4 is to go to one of the brokers, like fxdd, who offer that platform with it's tools and open a demo account. fxdd's expires every 3 months rather than every 30 days like some, so you can build 3 months of results in the account history before having to start over.

Hope this helps. Welcome, glad to have you aboard, sounds like the same guy who introduced me to forex. LOL. Best of luck, and you will master this.
I will look into this. I downloaded MT4 platform from some web-site mentioned on this thread, I don't know what the deal is...If it will expire, or not. Right now, I am just trying to wade through it. The broker that I now use has a chat line, so if I get stumped, I contact their tech support ( That in itself is worth the price of patatoes). I've been told by this broker that they will be providing MT4 charts in the near furture. That would certainly make life easier for me.
The VT charts are very confusing for me. I can't navigate around them very well....and their print, and candles are so small, that they are hard for me to see. So I am hoping my broker will indeed come thru with the MT4 package.
Thanks for all your help!

Sizz, I had that red fib drawn from the daily; the 1/28 low to the 1/30 high. I'm still trying to figure out how you drew the blue one...
Has what you wanted to see made you blind?

Mom,

For sure I see these more as dailys but I guess the could be weeklies with a Monthly bracketing it in. I trade the main fibs and make fibs based on the frame like I understand Skunny does. Bo trades the inner s/r levels( more of range trend plays) from what I inderstand two different style like vanilla and chocolate

I prefer Skunny style (from what I understand because I get laser targets and if I fib right I am piperfect thats why it is so important for the mainframe to be right.


Sizz

Dunkan: how did you know to draw that one? trade yah!

I was on the phone typing this mom sorry I don;t think it makes sense... what I meant was I make fibs in fibs and only trade fibs like I thought you meant play the inner sr levels? in which case I don;t do that. IF you meant the opposite sorry I am overtraded. BAsically I make ranges within ranges and am always trading active fibs when they are there never trading inner supports on a non pierced fib. PHew.. this is my understanding of how SKunny trades those fibs and Bo and Issy trading the inner ranges for extra pipping power( as far as my malted brain understands

Dagoods,

HAHAHAHA you funny guy you! But Hey at least I have the world record in something other then rambling for once

I am hoping for some delicious asian or austrailian fluke on my fib table tonight. I might pick up some english fluke on my way down to 201 as well Who knows though the captain of my fluking boat has a few here and there before he plots the course... soo.. we could end up at 279 by way of 183 or something nuts. maybe in a whole different river.. hehehe

LOL I will let you know how my testing went once it is done could be good could be bad I am open to both. except bad. hehehe

obviously i was kidding sizz... i really have no clue y that would a better place for a fib then where I have mine or u have yours or islander has his or pipr has his or galaxy mom has hers or dx has his or barney has his etc. etc. etc. all good bats IMO..... remember I am a convert of piprs 5 pip a day plan

PS ....sizz.. first note i am still practicing and missed this higher time frame super master fibble down here... never noticed it......nobodys perfect...human error....check this chart though bud.... and one thing to note is that IF this thing did go long....(still a very big IF) i would only feel comfortable with the blue fib t1..... not the red t1..... can u see why ... this to me was what i saw when i finally started to say aha aha aha .....(on second thought thats a bad example maybe.... a lil more testing needed..... I'll post a good example soon...when i get it perfected now go practice figure out the moliest quail possible and get back to me


PSSS this weeks bar looks like a hard fought dogfight with equal bears bulls so far doesn't it?

maybe another pair is in order for a bit...gj is tough

If anyone is interested here's my take for GJ today:

Price came back down to the low of the small fib pip perfect...close to pivot and the 61.8 of the daily.
Price is still above daily DZ... so long tendancy.
I might go long at the break of the small DZ in the 209 area with target around 138 of the small or R1...for some 70-100 pips.

here is a good example.... ok fellow skunnions which break makes you all warm and fuzzy inside if you had your fib this way (which i just threw up there just for examples sake...and is probably not where my fib would be)?

a short break or a long break?

hint: if u cant anwer this yet (like I couldn't until recently)... go back to start studying and reading about s/r and then go back to vhands and practice .... like I did/do ....

after some consideration i prefer my fib to be here >>>> see chart 2.... excepting the possibility of human error and me being nuts this fib placement makes me warm and fuzzy regardles of which way it breaks next.... of course i am still learning and as always i could be wrong.... but looks good to me

any comments appreciated
