{quote} Yeah I noticed that in your charts. Most of what you find looking up fib retracements talks about buying on the fib retracement in a trend and selling at some extension point. I've found that to be utterly useless. But if I drag fibs across a long term trend on say, the hourly chart, and then use those as support/resistance on the 15 min chart, it tends to line up. Probably try using that next week as I struggle to find support/resistance zones without ending up with lines every 20 pips on my charts.
I remove all my Fibs. Another trading disaster with Fibs. I don't ever try to use Fibs again.

i buy and sell on certain levels once i have identified valid swings.. this is the hardest part, drawing the swing and placing the entry is easy

perhaps the swings you are choosing are too small... hourly has a lot of highs and lows/hh/hl etc... for example large tf fibs i have my firsy buy entry at x, the second one after that is a few hundred away usually... it isnt until a new high/low where i have condensed levels...

after a new high everyone who was a bear before changes to bull... those orders get filled then bigger orders sell and there is a usual retrace... its how i work

again if you want some examples then i am happy to do so, its how i learnt

for example, here is an intraday example... based on the previous days range... the TP can be a new low or 50% with a stop just above previous day high...

the second example is exactly the same number but on a larger scale TF.... it is UJ 100.0x and is also the last time UJ was at that level... it would have been a 0 draw down trade... unfortunately i closed all my UJ trades out before the trump election... i was long from sub 100 3 times #

learn to use fibs on LARGER time frames before you use them intra day - you will get burnt more often than not, the key to using fibs is the RR, i have a lot more losers than winners... but i use 3-20 pip stop losses (usually 5/10) and i can TP after 500 pips...

*hugs*

Losses are the part of this game we chose to play, it is how we accept them, and if we learn anything from them that matters the most.

Chin up, it will be better.

That's so true. I remove them, because they cause disaster in my trading. But, Fibonacci himself doesn't have any right to call me names. So who is closed mind?

some people do not need to know how to use them.
many ways to skin a cat. if it works for you then good for you.
there are other ways too.
be careful when you call someone close minded.
it could be you who is trapped in that mind set.

close minded saying it is a disaster when trying to trade with fibs... essentially saying they are useless...
im not saying everyone needs to know to use them... what i am saying is it is close minded-ness that says they don't work...

i am open minded... always adding to my trading to better it... ive gone from MA's alone to market profile, fibs, pivots, MACD all combined...

and if someone else can show me something else that works, i am open to using it...

you should find out what a closed minded person is,

the other way i can/could have interpreted the post is that he has failed himself using them, but the opening line was remove fibs altogether... close minded.

I can also relate to his experience.
There are pros and cons, even fibs.
get caught in wrong timing or direction can cause disaster.
hence, in his point of view, it can be useless.

Naked chart + price action = Where the money is In my opinion indicators are all lies, especially in the shorter time frames.
