Fibonacci Forex Trading Strategy With Reversal Candlesticks

The Fibonacci Forex Trading Strategy With Reversal Candlesticks  is simply about using fibonacci retracement in conjunction with reversal candlesticks.

If you have traded forex long enough, you will notice that sometimes, price has an uncanny ability to reverse exactly at or around fibonacci levels.

Now, using fibonacci levels alone to execute a trade is not ideal in my opinion. You need to confirm it with reversal candlesticks.

The fibonacci retracement tool works best in a trending market and it will be quite useless if the market is not trending.

Timeframes: 15mins and above would be better.

Currency Pairs: Any

Forex Indicators/Tools: fibonacci retracement tool

TRADING RULES

Buy setup:

1. Market must be in a clear uptrend and eventually it will start to fall back down.
2. Use the fibonacci tool and click and drage at the start where the trend has started to where the trend has started to reverse back down and that would give you the fib retracement levels to watch out for.
3. The fib levels to use are 38.2, 50 and 61.8. Just wait to see if price reverses down to any of these levels and if it does so you move to the next step below.
4. Watch to see if a bullish reversal candlestick forms, that will be your buy signal. So what you do is place a buy stop pending order just 2-3 pips above that candlesticks high.
5. For take profit, use the previous swing high zone or level for that (see chart below).
6. Place your stop loss 3-5 pips below its low. If price breaks upwards, your pending buy order will be activated and you will be in a trade
7. If you get stopped out on 38.2 level, and price goes down to 50 level, do the same thing again. If you get stopped out on 50 level and if price goes down to the 61.8 level, repeat the process.
