Fibonacci Retracement Trading — How I Actually Use It Profitably

r/technicalanalysisstocksDaily or 4-hourby reddit_community

Fib retracement at 0.618-0.786 zone with reversal candle + volume confirmation. Stop below 0.886. Target at 1.272 extension. Works on strong impulse moves.

ENTRY RULES

Identify strong impulse move (trending move with follow-through) | Draw Fibonacci from swing low to swing high | Wait for retracement to 0.618-0.786 zone | Enter on bullish reversal candle (hammer/engulfing) at zone | Volume must be above average on reversal candle

EXIT RULES

Stop loss below 0.886 Fibonacci level | First target at previous swing high (1.0 extension) | Second target at 1.272 extension | Trail stop using 21 EMA | Close if price spends 3+ days below 0.786 level

Fibonacci Retracement Trading — How I Actually Use It Profitably

Fibonacci retracements are powerful but most traders use them wrong. Do not just draw fib and buy at 0.618. Instead: identify a strong impulse move, draw fib from swing low to swing high. Wait for price to retrace to 0.618-0.786 zone. At that zone, look for a bullish reversal candle (hammer, engulfing) on higher-than-average volume. That is the entry. Stop below 0.886 fib. Target at previous high or 1.272 extension.
