In an upward trend, there are points where buyers exit the market either to secure their profits or cut their losses; so, this causes price to fall temporarily (red candles) & this is called a downward retracement.<\/p>\n

The same scenario plays out in a downward trend when short sellers begin to exit the market by buying & this causes the price to rise briefly & this is an upward retracement.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tricky to differentiate between a retracement and the beginning of a new trend; & this is what the Fibonacci Retracement<\/strong> tool is for.<\/p>\n

You want to anticipate these retracements before they happen, because some traders build their trading strategy around retracements.<\/p>\n

The Fibonacci Retracement is a tool that draws lines depicting possible areas of support & resistance where retracements could happen. <\/p>\n

You should first draw your support & resistance lines manually (using the horizontal line tool), then add the Fibonacci levels so anywhere they coincide is also an area of value for you.<\/p>\n

For accuracy, Fibonacci Retracement should only be applied in an upward or downward trend & the Fibonacci icon can be found in your toolbar.<\/p>\n

How to Trade with Fibonacci Retracement<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you spot an ongoing trend on the charts, you click on the Fibonacci icon then use your cursor to draw a line connecting the opening of the first candle on the trend to the closing of the last candle on the trend.<\/p>\n

You will notice some support\/resistance lines with Fibonacci numbers from 0 to 100 overlaid on your chart.<\/p>\n

Each time price approaches these lines, there\u2019s a probability a retracement will occur especially around the 38.2%, & 61.8%<\/strong> lines, as these are considered golden Fibonacci numbers.<\/p>\n

Fibonacci Retracement helps you in trading because it lets you identify false trend reversals which could just be retracements. <\/p>\n

If you see a reversal occurring at a golden Fibonacci number, it\u2019s likely it\u2019s just a retracement & not a trend reversal.<\/p>\n

You can also prepare to trade retracements, but this can be risky because retracements may not last for long before the primary trend continues.<\/p>\n

So, if you notice an upward retracement in a downward trend, you can quickly buy & then sell when the retracement is over.<\/p>\n

If you notice a downward retracement in an upward trend, you can quickly sell then buy & exit the market when the retracement is over. Either way you make a profit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
