How to Use Fibonacci Retracement Like a Pro
Fibonacci is a mathematical tool that reveals the "natural" retracement levels of a market trend. Professional traders use it to find value in an existing move.
01
Identify the Trend
Fibonacci only works in a trending market. Find a clear move from a "Swing High" to a "Swing Low" (or vice versa).
02
Draw the Tool
Pull the tool from the start of the move to the end. Focus on the "Golden Zone" between 50% and 61.8%.
03
Wait for Confluence
Don't trade a Fib level in isolation. Look for a moving average or a previous support level to align with your Fib level.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- /Drawing the tool on a range-bound market
- /Using too many extension levels
