Fibonacci Golden Zone Strategy PDF
In this strategy report, we are going to share with you a simple Fibonacci Trading
Strategy that uses the golden ratio which is a special mathematical number that can be
used to model and find patterns as well in nature as in the financial markets.
Note** We use our Fibonacci Golden Zone Indicator which you can find here:
https://info.tradingstrategyguides.com/fibonacci-golden-zone-indicator
with the Fibonacci Golden Zone Strategy. It is not mandatory, however, makes this
strategy 100% easier to follow and has many features we added in that the stock
fibonacci drawing tool does not give you!!
There are multiple ways to trade using the Fibonacci Retracement Tool, but we have
found that one of the best ways to trade the Fibonacci is by focusing on the golden ratio
1.618 or 0.618 which is probably one of the most important numbers in mathematics
and in our day to day life as well.
The Fibonacci Retracement tool was developed by Leonardo Pisano, who was born
around 1175 AD in Italy was known to be "one of the greatest European mathematicians
of the middle ages."
Well, let’s first imagine a sequence of numbers which start with number 1. The
second number is also 1 and then going forward every next number is equal to the
sum of the previous two numbers.
To answer this question let’s plot the number 1 and number 2 on a horizontal axis.
Now, what we’re going to do is we’re going to go through the Fibonacci sequence and
take every number in the series and divided by the previous number in the sequence
and plot our answer on the same axis.
21/13 equals
1.615
You kind of see that the further we go with this exercise the closer and closer we
get to one specific number and that number is 1.6180339 …
This number is known as the golden ratio which approximately equals 1.618.
I know this is math and for many it can be quite boring. So, you might be asking what the
purpose of the Fibonacci sequence is.
Well, let’s have a look at some of the examples where you can find the golden ratio
that
will probably blow your mind.
First of all, if you measure the distance between the edges of your fingertips and your
wrist and then you measure the distance between your wrist and your elbow it will be
approximately 1.618.
Next, if you take an x-ray of any starfish and you measure its base and take it as 1 then
the distance between the superior limbs will be 1.618.
Now, if you want to go in even more depth we have something called the Fibonacci spiral
which is constructed of the Fibonacci numbers. You can find the Fibonacci spiral in
many places in nature like a grain of wheat or sunflowers and even in a single cell or
human DNA.
No one knows why they are so common in nature and in the world, but what we
can do is maybe take advantage of it including in trading. If the Fibonacci sequence has
applicability in so many parts of our day to day life, many market practitioners have
found out that the financial markets respect the Fibonacci numbers and especially
the golden ratio.
By now you should be impressed by the many applicability of the Fibonacci sequence.
Leonardo Pisano developed a simple series of numbers that created ratios describing the
natural proportions of things in the universe.
And these numbers have been used by traders now for many years!
Your charting software should come with a standard Fibonacci retracement tool;
however,
you are the one that puts this on your chart.
The bottom line is that many traders use this tool which is why it is highly important
to have a trading strategy that uses this.
You are going to need to know where to apply these fibs. You will need to place
them on the swing high/swing low.
A Swing High is a candlestick with at least two lower highs on both the left and right
of itself.
A Swing Low is a candlestick with at least two higher lows on both the left and right of
itself.
If you are unsure of what that means, let’s take at a chart to see what this looks like:
So here is what it would look like then on your chart with the Fibonacci Retracement:
A quick thing to remember about this: if it is an uptrend you want to start with the
swing low and drag your Fibonacci level all the way up to the swing high. If it’s a
downtrend you start with the swing high and drag your cursor all the way down to
the swing low.
Now, what if we told you there is a simple way to draw the Fibonacci retracement
levels on your price chart.
Well, our team at Trading Strategy Guides has developed a proprietary Fibonacci Golden
Zone indicator that once placed on the chart it will instantly plot the Fibonacci
retracement levels of the last swing.
You’ll not need to pick by yourself the swing high/low levels as the Fibonacci Golden
Zone indicator will do the job for you.
Note * The Fibonacci Golden Zone indicator is compatible with the most popular trading
platform used by Forex traders like NT7, NT8, MT4, and MT5.
You’ll notice that the Fibonacci Golden Zone indicator comes with another
interesting feature that plots on all swing high and low waves how far away it has
moved in relation to the previous swing high.
If you try to measure that move with the classical Fibonacci Retracement tool you’ll
only be able to see the 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% 76.4% and 100%.
It’s quite clear that the Fibonacci Golden Zone indicator is superior but we still
haven’t covered all the trading features. The Fibonacci Golden Zone indicator comes
with trading alerts that will notify you whenever the price is near the golden zone
between 38.2% and 61.8%.
We believe that in order to have a clear understanding of the current market trends one
should apply a multi time frame analysis. In this regard, we have developed a proprietary
trading indicator in form of a Dashboard displayed at the bottom of your chart.
The Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard will display all the default time frames starting
from the 1 minute time frame all the way to the bigger monthly time frame.
But that’s not all the Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard will also show you on each
individual time frame the golden zone. This is great because if we’re on multiple
time frames in the golden zone our probabilities of winning increases.
Simple enough! Now, let’s go ahead and look at all we will need with this trading
strategy:
This trading strategy can be used with any Market (Forex, Stocks, Options, Futures). In
our example, we are going to be using Forex currency trading.
It can also be used on any time frame . (1 day, 4 hours, 1 hour, 15 minutes, etc.)
This is a trend trading strategy that will take advantage of retracement of the current
trend.
Forex traders identify the Fibonacci retracement levels as areas of support and
resistance. Because of this, the levels are watched by many traders, which is why the
Fibonacci Golden Zone strategy could be a difference maker to your trading success.
The Golden Zone is represented by the price area between the 38.2% and 61.8%
Fibonacci retracement. Obviously, the 61.8% is the most critical number in our strategy.
Now that we’ve learned the importance of the Fibonacci retracement levels and why they
work in analyzing the financial market let’s have a look at the rules of the Fibonacci
Golden Zone Strategy .
This is simple enough. We need to make sure it’s either an uptrend or a downtrend.
Identifying the market direction should be an easy task. We like to keep things simple,
to the core. If you look at your screen and see the market rising from the bottom left
corner to the upper right corner that’s an uptrend. In other words, a market that does
higher highs followed by higher lows is defined as an uptrend.
Conversely, if you look at your screen and see the market falling from the upper left
corner to the bottom right corner that’s a downtrend. In other words, a market that does
lower lows followed by lower highs is defined as a downtrend.
Inversely, in a downtrend, we want to only sell because that’s how a smart person
trades the market.
In order to put to the test and show you the power of the Fibonacci Golden Zone
Strategy,
we’re going first to highlight a sell trade.
Rule #2: Wait for the Market to Reach the Golden Zone 38.2
– 61.8 Fibonacci Retracement
The same rules of the Fibonacci Golden Zone Strategy can be applied on all time
frames. However, our preferred time frame is the 1h chart.
In the figure below, we have the AUD/USD 1h chart which is trading in a downtrend
and price has already reached the golden zone 38.2% - 61.8% of the Fibonacci
Golden Zone indicator.
An interesting feature of the Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard is that it displays for
each individual time frame whether the price is trading above the golden zone or
below the golden zone.
This brings us to the next step that we need to look after before entering a trade:
The Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard is quite intuitive to be used and in this regard
has been developed to make your job much easier.
To Learn more about the Dashboard Go here:
https://info.tradingstrategyguides.com/fibonacci-golden-zo
ne-indicator
The Dashboard will display a red rectangle in front of the time frame where the price
is trading below the Golden zone, which is a bearish signal.
The Dashboard will display a green rectangle in front of the time frame where the price is
trading above the Golden zone, which is a bullish signal.
Note* Refer back to this picture when you use this strategy since this basically shows
us
what our charts will look like before we make a trade.
Now, we can notice that on the majority of the time frames AUD/USD is trading
below the Golden Zone, which overall is bearish for the market and secondly, it
supports our sell trade idea.
Obviously, for a buy trade idea, we want the Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard to
display the majority of the time frames above the Golden Zone.
It’s the time to look for our entry catalyst, which brings us to the next step of the
Fibonacci Golden Zone Strategy .
We want to trade on the safe side of the market and in this regard as an extra
measure of caution we will not enter as soon as the 61.8% golden ratio is hit, but
we’re going to enter only if we see the market finding resistance and is unable to
close above it.
In other words, we wait for the candle to close below the 61.8% before deploying our
hard earned cash into the market.
As you can see the Fibonacci golden ratio can give us great entry points, especially
in a trending market, which is one of the reasons why we want to trade in the
direction of the primary trend.
This rule is the critical step to the strategy so you need to pay close attention.
Because we need to price to hit the golden ratio 61.8%, stall, and go back in the
direction of the trend.
If it breaks the golden ratio and keeps going then the trend is obviously broken and
you need to look elsewhere because a trade with this strategy would be invalidated
at that time.
As I said, the market tends to follow the Fibonacci sequence, but sometimes it will
fake traders out and they will end up losing a lot of money when it breaks the trend.
This happens every single day, which is why it is critical to have a strategy that will
help
you know if this break may occur.
With that being said let’s now define where one should hide his protective stop loss.
The obvious place to place the stop loss is simply above the 100% Fibonacci
retracement
which should also coincide with the previous high or the starting point from where the
Fibonacci retracement levels are measured.
Obviously, for a buy trade, the stop loss should be placed below the previous swing low.
Our stop loss should not be hit very often if we’re correct in our analysis because
eventually, the bigger trend should resume.
Next, we should determine where to take profits, which is as important as the entry
and the stop loss placement.
Since we’re focusing on a sell trading example, we have as a primary rule to take our
profit
just below the previous swing low.
Inversely, if we were talking about a buy trade example, we would have taken our profits
above the previous swing high.
If the market doesn’t break below the previous swing high/low but the Fibonacci Golden
Zone Dashboard shows the majority of the time frames trading on the opposite side of
our trade we want to exit early.
In our example, we can see the market is struggling to break below the previous
swing low and at the same time the Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard shows the
majority of the time frames trading above the Golden Zone which is showing a shift
in the sentiment.
In this regard, we want to close at the market our trade and take the profits.
There is no point forcing the market, even though later she might have another attempt
and break below the swing low.
Summary
The Fibonacci Golden Zone Strategy one of the most sophisticated strategy that makes
use of the golden ratio. It’s not sophisticated because somehow is more complex, quite
contrary, in essence, it’s a very easy trend following strategy.
What makes it unique is our proprietary Fibonacci trading indicators that will help
you have a better experience using the Fibonacci retracement levels.
With our proprietary indicators Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard and Fibonacci
Golden Zone Indicator once can conquer the markets.
With so many currency pairs and so many time frames it can be a daunting task to
follow each one of them and it can be quite stressful to watch these fast-moving
markets and at the same time to make fast trade decisions.
So, our proprietary Fibonacci indicators really can make the difference between
success and failure.
AS A BONUS FOR YOU WE ALWAYS LIKE TO INCLUDE
EXAMPLES OF OUR STRATEGY TO HELP YOU PERFECT
We all know that not every trade will look exactly like the example that we provided.
So, below you will find some examples (that we backdated) that use the Fibonacci
Golden Zone Strategy .
You can do this also, which is actually what we always recommend for any trader
who is using a new system. You could also use your demo account and make trades
based off of this strategy to help you perfect this.
We look at this as a basic guideline to trading. You can always adjust it or tweak it,
based on your rules you use when you trade.
Another way to find the dominant trend is to look on the daily time frame and see if
we’re trading above the golden zone or below the golden zone. You don’t have to
switch the time frame, simply glance at the Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard
indicator.
If we’re trading above the golden zone the trend is bullish. Inversely, if we’re
trading below the golden zone the trend is bearish.
Apply the rules from Step #2 through Step #7 to enter the trade, place your stop loss
and take your profit.
Example #2: USD/JPY 15-Minute Short-Term Trade
First, we determine the trend by using the Fibonacci Golden Zone dashboard indicator.
The majority of the time frames are bearish and on the daily time frame we’re trading
below the golden zone, which means we’re only going to trade in the direction of the
bearish trend.
Apply the rules from Step #2 through Step #7 to enter the trade, place your stop loss
and take your profit.
Example #3: Use the Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard Buy/Sell
Signals
Our proprietary trading indicator Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard uses a dynamic
algorithm to determine what the best trade to take is. You’ll notice that for each
individual time frame the Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard will issue buy and sell
signals.
Depending on your preferred time frame you can choose which signals you want to
take. In the example below, we have a buy signal on the GBP/USD daily chart:
Actually, we have a buy signal issued on the 30-minutes time frame as well, but we’ve
chosen to take the daily signal. From here on we can apply the same rules described in
the Fibonacci Golden Zone Strategy .
Example #4: Gold Long Trade Example – Weekly Chart
On rare occasions when our proprietary indicator Fibonacci Golden Zone Dashboard will
show bullish signals on all time frames than this is one of the most powerful trade signals
you’ll get.
In the example below, the Gold chart is showing a bullish signal on all time frames. In
this situation, it’s best to enter anywhere between the 38.2 – 61.8 golden zone because
the 61.8 golden ratio will be rarely hit as the prevailing trend is too strong to provide us
with such a deep retracement.
The ideal entry in this example would have been the 50% retracement. The rules of the
Fibonacci Golden Zone Strategy remain the same in this example as well.
