Fibonacci Sequence Analysis

admin — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 16:54:55 +0000

How To Use Fibonacci Sequence Analysis

Leonardo Fibonacci was a world-renowned mathematician in the 13 century. During the course of his personal studies he discovered a natural sequence of numbers that tended to reveal a natural order in the universe. Fibonacci did not actually discover the sequence himself, but he did largely popularize it by using it in one of his major publications, Liber Abaci. Many centuries later, stock traders noticed that when applied to a price chart, the Fibonacci sequence offered some fascinating insights.

Fibonacci In Financial Markets

Basically, when a financial asset such as a stock, commodity, or currency, is moving in a trend, it never moves from point A to point B in a perfectly straight line. Instead, the asset will move forward 2 steps, back 1, move forward 3 steps, back 1.5, etc. There is a certain rhythm to the forward movement of any asset in financial markets. When traders began to apply the Fibonacci number sequence to financial markets, they noticed that the price of an asset will oftentimes retrace 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, or 79% of its move before it will resume its forward direction in the direction of the trend. Therefore, the Fibonacci number sequence was transformed into a trading tool to help traders discover possible reversal areas in trending markets when analyzing the market at an online brokerage.

In the picture above, you can see that price makes a strong move from the 1.1875 area up to a HI of 1.3330. Then as it begins to retrace, traders use the Fibonacci Tool in order to determine how far price will retrace before it continues in its intended direction. You can see in the first yellow shaded bubble that price hit the 38% retracement and bounced up several hundred pips in fx trading. Then, price moved a bit lower down to the 50% retracement and bounced up again. That bounce from the 50% proved to be the one that held, and the EUR/USD then resumed its upward trending direction. Price eventually moved from the 50% fib level of 1.2600 up to a HI of over 1.4000 for a total move of 1,400 pips!

Fibonacci Extensions

Traders also discovered that Fibs were not only accurate in determining possible reversal areas in a retracement, but they also could be used as extensions in order to determine where price was going to go after it retraced and resumed the direction of the trend.

In the chart above, price makes a move from 1.2330 to a LO of 1.1875 as shown by the red arrow. When price makes this move, traders then apply a fib to see where price may retrace. You can see that price bounced at the 38% retracement for a nice 90+ pip trade, then price continue to move up and it bounced again at the 62% fib for a nice 100+ pip trade. Then, as price continued to move up, traders are now looking at the 127% retracement at 1.2450. Sure enough, price bounced there and moved down for over 200 pips. Forex Scalping Instructions will oftentimes make use of Fibonacci analysis. Note that this example is provided as an illustration and was prepared with the benefit of hindsight. It does not reflect any actual trading results.

How To Use Fibonacci As A Strategy

There are several keys to using the Fibonacci Tool correctly in the forex market or in any financial market. First of all, it is best for Fibonacci analysis to be combined with other tools of technical analysis such as trendlines, support/resistance lines, Pivot Points, MACD, RSI, Stochastics, etc. When Fibonacci analysis provides a particular trading signal, and that trading signal is confirmed by several other technical tools, then the trade probably has a decent probability of working out. However, if Fibs are used by themselves, they are not that effective.

Furthermore, it is always best to enter trades in the direction of the overall trend. Using Fibs to develop a counter-trend strategy is definitely a challenge and much more difficult than trading with the trend.

Day Trading The Forex Market

How To Day Trade Forex

You’ve heard about the many people making a sizable fortune in the Forex market. In this article, you will be presented with some introductory information about the Forex market to get you started on a similar path. You too can become a profitable Forex day trader if you follow the simple rules outlined below.

Forex is the Foreign Currency Exchange Market. Currencies are traded in pairs, such as the US Dollar (USD)/British Pound (GBP) pair. The most commonly traded currency pairs in the Forex market are the US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY), Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD), US Dollar and Swiss franc (USD/CHF) and the British Pound and UD Dollar (GBP/USD). The Forex market trades 24/7 and moves in pips.

A pip is .0001 for most currency pairs and .01 for JPY combined currency pairs. On a standard contract, with a leverage of 100:1, one pip is worth $10. If you trade smaller sizes with smaller leverages, the value of each pip is reduced. For example, a mini lot pays $1 per pip, whereas a micro lot pays $0.10 per pip.

It all depends on what size account you start with, and how much you are willing to risk per trade. When learning how to trade the Forex market, start with only one or two currency pairs. It is very difficult to keep track of all four currency pairs simultaneously.

There are many ways to learn how to trade Forex. You can read books on how to trade Forex. A recent search on Amazon alone yielded 133 books on trading Forex. Though the least expensive way to learn Forex trading, it is also the slowest. Another option is to invest in an online course that offers training modules.

Even better is to purchase an online trading course with an accompanying mentor in a trading chat room who is not only a professional forex trader, but is good at teaching his craft. This is far better than joining a trading chat room alone, without an accompanying course, unless you have a lot of time to sit at a “wise man’s” feet waiting for scraps of knowledge to come to you.

This will be the most expensive option, but the best. Do your due diligence however. There are many people out there trying to take your money with offers too good to be true. Even those with honest trading rooms and courses may not match your learning style. Take advantage of free trials, ask the right questions, and remain objective when choosing a course.

If you follow this guide, stick to one or two currency pairs, and find the right course for you, you soon will be on the path to learning how to make your living in the Forex market.

Ford Motor (F) Falls As Market Continues Slide
Posted: Thursday, May 20, 2010 10:01 AM EDT

Ford Motor (NYSE: F) opened at .04. So far today, the stock has hit a low of .01 and a high of .26. F is now trading at .22, down {content}.33 (-2.86%). Over the last 52 weeks the stock has ranged from a low of .06 to a high of .57. Shares of F are trading lower this morning as investors continued to push the market lower on fears that the recovery of the global economy could get tripped up by debt troubles in Europe. Technical indicators for the stock are neutral and S&P gives F a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking. If you are looking for a hedged play on F the stock seems like it could be a candidate for a September out-of-the-money bear-call credit spread above the 15 range.

STANDARD ERROR: Linear Regression Trendline?

admin — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 22:17:01 +0000

CAVEAT: I have a limited knowledge of statistics and and am not particularly adept with respect to formulas. Hence, kindly explain using prose if you would.

ISSUE: Using stock trading software by prophet.net, a 64-day Linear Regression Trendline ("LRT") is currently the best fit for a particular stock. The 64-day LRT has an R-squared of .933. Now, the trading software has an indicator called "Standard Error Bands" which allows you, for example, to enter (64,3), (64,2), (64,1) etc. In this example, of course, the indicator plots "standard error band" values ("SE") (3SE, 2SE, 1SE etc.) both above and below the 64-day LRT.

With all this in mind, I have researched how to calculate "standard error" but my results don’t seem to match the trading software. The trading software determines the 64-day LRT by using the CLOSING prices for the last 64-days. Can someone give me a step-by-step on how to calculate the 1SE of the 64-day LRT. ASSUME THAT I ALREADY HAVE THE LRT VALUE–I do.
It’s my understanding that the "Standard Error" is the "Standard Deviation" divided by the square root of the number of samples. I tried taking the Standard Deviation of the Closing Prices over the last 64 days and, alternatively, the Standard Deviation of the 64-day Linear Regression Trendline itself–both of which come out to 3.15 and 3.18 respectively, and then divided both of those numbers by 8, which gives me a value of .39 or so for 1 Standard Error. The software, however, has a value that is much greater–closer to .80.

What is the link between an improving economy and rising govt. bond yields?

admin — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 17:15:21 +0000

Happy Christmas and New year to all.

I’m learning about forex and the book that I am reading (Forex for Dummies) mentions rising 10-year government bond yields as a possible indicator of a currency that may be on the way up in relative value. The logic is that the increase in bond yield indicates a rising economy and therefore a greater possibility of an interest rate increase at some point in the future in order to keep a tab on inflation. Therefore more buying interest in the currency now and a rising relative currency value.

The link that I cannot make is the link between the rising economy and the rising bond yield. Is it because people are dumping bonds and buying stocks instead, thus pushing the bond price down and the relative value of the yield up. Or what?

Thanks.

trading career??????????? and eduational map to success?

admin — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 07:35:30 +0000

Well im 20 years old starting community college in January. I must say i will do everything in my power to get the highest GPA possible 4.0 hopefully. At CC im going to try and get into the Phi Tetta Kappa. Then i plan on transfering to university of Pittsburgh. My reasons are simple to save money. Although i did drop out of highschool my senior year. I am going to double major in computer science/economics or finance/economics. Im not sure but one thing is everybody ive talked to in my chosen profession, trading specifically proprietary trading, would agree that a computer science degree and being able to program is a +++ on your resume. Right now im relearning Russian, since im Russian just suffered language attrition, and in college i will be learning French. At PITT i plan on joining the trading club, parkour club, finance club, and investmant banking club. I also plan on obtaining an international business certificate, which requires international study abroad in chosen language or internship (France or Russia)… Im also working part time right now and plan on doing so throughout my education unless it gets in the way of a great GPA. My goal is to get recommendations from professors and a high GMAT score and work experience when i get out then to an ivy league MBA or MSF program. To pay for school the first 2 years shouldnt be a problem since its community college 8K total a year. then i will take out loans for the university. i know trading is what i do best and its my passion so success is a byproduct of all the hard work i put into it and i expect nothing less in the back of my head, but at the same time im not afraid of failure Ari Kiev preaches in his books simply psychology for traders and i must say i learned alot. But when i finish school i plan on moving to Chicago and gettng a prop trading position and doing very well one good trade at a time.. then who knows possibly hedge funds or a top prop shop where being a millionaire isnt anything special. Does my plan sound good? i think it feels right deep down and its what i want to do, so regardless its my plan but i just wanted some critisism and suggestions? thank you

btw my part time job is 50% for stock market trades and 50% for school.. I need to run my account because prop firms LOVE people who have traded before and they absolutey LOVE people who have passion, but alot ofpeople say they do when in reality they really dont and a simple questions like whats your favorite book or what trading blogs do you read? What indicators do you use? Whats better MACD or simple MA or EMA? What were your best trades? how did you feel? when ou lose money how do you react? from all the books ive read since middle school on this subject the books would agree im like the definition of great trader.

exuse my grammar and punctuation i type super fast.

The problem is that whenever I come across a book for beginners, the reviews are so conflicting that I don’t want to take the risk of reading it and confusing myself.

Stock trading method question?

This question is for those familiar with technical charts. In a bull market when selecting a stock, does setting a buy stop price a little above resistance, selecting a stock that’s currently above 30-day moving average and the MA is trending up, and relative strength indicator is also trending up mean that there is a good if not strong possibility that the stock will break out to a new high? Conversely, does a stock that’s broken through support and trending below 30-day moving average usually mean that the stock is more likely than not to fall to new lows? Thanks!
