Fibonacci Price Patterns


A Fibonacci analysis is a popular tool among technical traders. It is based on the Fibonacci sequence numbers identified by Leonardo Fibonacci in the 13th century. The Fibonacci sequence numbers are:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, …………………

As the Fibonacci number become large, the constant relationship is established between neighbouring numbers. For example, every time, when we divide the former number by latter: Fn-1/Fn, we will get nearly 0.618 ratio. Likewise, when we divide the latter number by former: Fn/Fn-1, we will get nearly 1.618. These two Fibonacci ratio 0.618 and 1.618 are considered as the Golden Ratio. We can use these Golden ratios to start our Fibonacci analysis. However, many technical traders use additional Fibonacci ratios derived from the Golden ratio. Since the calculation of each Fibonacci ratio is well known, I have listed all the available Fibonacci ratio calculation in Table 6.1.


In fact, Fibonacci pattern analysis in financial trading is extremely popular. As with support and resistance analysis, Fibonacci analysis is probably the most popular technical analysis among traders. There are two important techniques in Fibonacci analysis. First technique is Fibonacci retracement. Second technique is Fibonacci expansion. In fact, former is just one triangle pattern and latter is two triangle patterns. Hence, you can consider these two as Fibonacci price patterns. These two price patterns share the identical concept to the retracement ratio and expansion ratio.

There are two important points in regards to Fibonacci patterns. Firstly, you need to spot swing high and swing low in price series to identify Fibonacci price patterns. The easiest way of doing this is just to apply Peak Trough Transformation using either ZigZag indicator or Renko chart. Therefore, you start with predefined swing points in your chart. Secondly, Fibonacci retracement technique will concern one triangle that is two price swings. Fibonacci expansion technique will concern two triangles that are three price swings. Most importantly, calculation of Fibonacci retracement and expansion is identical to the retracement ratio and expansion ratio calculation in RECF notation. Sometimes, we might use percentage format instead of decimal format. However, two quantities are the same. For example, the Golden ratio 0.618 is the same as 61.8%.

Let us start with Fibonacci retracement example. For simple example, we use 61.8% Golden ratio. For retracement, we can have two cases including bullish (Trough-Peak) retracement and bearish (Peak-Trough) retracement. In bullish retracement, 61.8% retracement level will act as a support level. Price will reverse in the correction phase to follow the previous bullish movement. In RECF pattern definition, 61.8% bullish retracement can be expressed as below:

R0 = 0.618 = Right swing of first triangle / Left swing of first triangle


Likewise, in bearish retracement, 61.8% level will act as resistance. Price will reverse in the correction phase to follow the previous bearish movement. In both case, the 61.8% retracement will be measured from end of correction phase to previous peak or trough. We have used percentage in this example. Some technical traders prefer to use the ratios in decimal places like 0.618. It is just your preferences. Using ratio or percentage does not affect the accuracy of trading. In RECF pattern definition, 61.8% bearish retracement can be expressed as below:

R0 = 0.618 = Right swing of first triangle / Left swing of first triangle


You can use other Fibonacci ratios like 0.382 or 1.618 in the exactly same way as 0.618. Some traders use secondary Fibonacci ratios in addition to the primary ratios.

Fibonacci expansion is slightly more complicated than Fibonacci retracement because it concerns two triangle (i.e. three price swings). As in retracement technique, we can have two cases including bearish (Trough-Peak) expansion and bullish (Peak-Trough) expansion. In bearish expansion, we will measure the expansion from where the correction ends to next peak. In the next peak, we will expect the bearish reversal in the same direction to the correction. In fact, the 100% Expansion level is act as the resistance in Figure 6-3. Likewise, in bullish expansion, we will expect the bullish reversal in the same direction to the correction. In Figure 6-4, 61.8% expansion level acts as the support. In RECF pattern definition, 61.8% bearish and bullish retracement can be expressed as below:

E0 = 0.618 = Right swing of first triangle / Left swing of second triangle

Pairs Trading and Spread Analysis Guide

Pairs Trading and Spread Analysis is the efficient tool to monitor the unusual market event or market anomaly. The advantage of Pairs Trading and Spread Analysis comes from its sophisticated statistical analysis across different instruments. For Forex and Stock market trading, it works both. Many hedge fund manager and professional fund manager are using Pairs Trading and Spread Analysis to seek profits.

In Optimum Chart, we provide the automated solution for Pairs Trading and spread analysis. This sophisticated statistical analysis can be done in few button clicks. All you have to do is to apply the end results for your trading.

The good thing about Optimum Chart is that it provides the the complete statistical analysis across all time frame and all symbols. Then it would provide the powerful insight in one table for all available instruments.

In Optimum Chart, this powerful statistical analysis can be done in two steps.

Step 1: Tick on Scan all timeframe box

Step 2: Click on Calculate Cointegration of Pairs

That is it. It is easy as ABC while the pairs trading and spread analysis is used by the sophisticated analyst in the fund management and hedge fund industry. After the button click, Optimum Chart would perform lots of calculation at background until it go through all the possible combination of different symbols across all timeframe. After that, it would provide you the buy and sell signals according to their spread strength. Hence, you will get weak, medium and strong signals according to the current spread.

The signals are simply determined by the magnitude of spread. In default signal setting, Weak signal are produced if the spread is between 2 and 3. Medium signals are produced if the spread is between 3 and 4. Strong signals are produced if the spread is over 4. Optimum Chart will also provide the lot size multiplier after the computation is done. The lot size multiplier is determined by their tick value. Typical Forex market tick values are applied for Forex market. You can find the tick values of each Forex symbol in the link below.

https://algotrading-investment.com/2020/07/19/optimum-chart-forex-symbol-tick-values/

For the Stock market, the multiplier is simply the price ratio of two instruments. Multiplier helps you to determine how big the contract size (i.e. lot size or number of shares) for the pairs (i.e. for asset 1 and asset 2).

How To Use Forex Prediction With Fibonacci Analysis For Free

In this article, we will explain how to use Forex Prediction with Fibonacci Analysis For Free in two steps. In the first step, you can access the Forex Prediction Webpage from the following link. You can book mark this Forex Prediction page below so you can access Forex Prediction any time.

https://algotrading-investment.com/2020/10/23/forex-prediction-with-fibonacci-analysis/

From above page, you will get access to the turning point prediction for Forex market including EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, BTCUSD, ETHUSD and so on. In fact, most of statistical predictions are not compatible with the actual trading strategy used by the real world trader. However, the turning point probability (and also the trend probability = 1 – turning point probability) is useful because the predictions were measured from the Fractal Wave. Remember that fractal wave is the direct representation of price action. For example, Support, Resistance, Fibonacci Ratio Analysis, Harmonic Pattern, Elliott Wave Theory, X3 Chart Pattern, Symmetric Triangle Pattern, Rising Wedge Pattern, Falling Wedge pattern, Double Top, Double Bottom, Channel, Renko Chart and so on are such technical analysis derived from Fractal Wave. You can consider the turning point probability as the quantified version of the price patterns. Hence, using the turning point probability with these price pattern is really beneficial in assessing the trend strength and risk for your trading. Especially, we recommend using the turning point probability together with any horizontal support resistance. For example, you can use the hand drawn support resistance, supply demand analysis, round number (=psychological number), pivot analysis, Fibonacci analysis, and so on. I am sure you can think of many horizontal support and resistance of your own.

In the second step, you can visualize the turning point probability and Fibonacci Analysis with this free Market Prediction tool from our website or from google drive. Anyway, you will get the same files.

Scan Supply Demand Zone Across All Timeframe

In Ace Supply Demand Zone indicator, you can scan the supply and demand zone across all timeframe for your Forex trading. This is a powerful feature included in Ace Supply Demand Zone indicator. Controlling the Multiple Timeframe scanning is similar to our other MetaTrader products like Harmonic Pattern Plus or X3 Chart Pattern Scanner. You can control them from the inputs under the Multiple Timeframe Scanning. With the inputs, you can enable or disable multiple timeframe scanning. You can also choose to switch on or off specific timeframe from your dashboard. In addition, you can also control how frequently the indicator should scan. The default value for update frequency is M5 timeframe. However, you can use M1 for update frequency if you need to scan them more frequently.

If you enabled email or push notification in the inputs under General Setting, then you can also receive the alert for the detected supply and demand zone as well as the touched supply and demand zone. The thing you need to understand about multiple timeframe scanning is that it requires multiple computation too per each timeframe. The computation can be heavier up to 7 times or more when you enabled M1 to D1 timeframes. Hence, due to data loading issues, the calculation might be stuck sometimes. In that case, just click Show button to refresh all the calculation. Of course, it is possible to switch off the multiple timeframe scanning if you only want to trade one timeframe.

Ace Supply Demand Zone in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5

In addition, we provide the YouTube video for Ace Supply Demand Zone Indicator. Hence, you can watch this YouTube Video to learn the basic operation with the supply demand zone indicator.
