Fibonacci was the great mathematician from Italy. He founded the new sequence of numbers and it was named after him called as fibonacci. The 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377,610 etc are the numbers of this sequence which has the starting of 0 and 1. Each number in this sequence is the sum of the preceding two numbers.

While moving forward with the larger numbers in the sequence, the division of the two closer consecutive numbers results in the golden ratio. And this golden ratio's where used by trading stocks , they produce primary and secondary results. Onward direction refers in the primary result and opposite direction refers the secondary result.

In primary trend,the most common Fibonacci retracement levels are 38.2%,50%,61.8%.These standard levels are used by most basic stock charting applications.These Fibonacci retracement levels act almost as magnets once the countertrend rally takes place.Apart from above three there are few other levels that can provide resistance.These are 75%, 78.6%, 87.5%, and 88.7% retracement levels.

The thumb rule states that the retracement levels makes about 50%, and the earlier mentioned levels attracts the price by behaving like magnets. The price must be analyzed by the persons who are familiar on those levels. Always the prices do not move in constant. Stocks, futures, forex,all instruments which are liquid,will often oscilate in Fibonacci proportions.

Fibonacci ratios may be applied to the Price scale,and also to the time scale of charts.Many traders use Fibonacci ratios with a few simple indicators that can help them to determine probable price turning points,optimum entry,exit and stop-loss levels.

After identifying the primary trend, use price reversal pattern recognition to coincide with a fibonacci retracement level to confirm that the countertrend move has ceased.Then look for the stock to test the recent lows and double bottom or break through that level.

The trader must have the clear idea and knowledge of the international markets because of the andquot;risk arbitrageandquot; in the existing market situations mainly in andquot;forex tradingandquot;. For help andquot;forex signal tradingandquot; can be used by the trader. While performing andquot;forex radingandquot; the transaction of currency between nations take place, so the trader must be aware of that.

This application of Fibonacci to trading can be very complex for a new beginner and does take time and experience to perfect it.Many floor traders use these Fibonacci retracement levels. These levels are used by many advanced traders as well,it allows them to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
