Fibonacci-Trading-Indicator_2
Sep 7, 2020

The Fibonacci-Trading-Indicator_2 tool provides automated Fibonacci price levels based on historical trading ranges to identify high-probability entry points and profit-taking targets.
Usage
The indicator is designed for both day trading and longer-term position trading. It calculates Fibonacci projections based on the trading range of a previous period (Day, Week, Month, or Year).
- Entry Strategy: Traders typically look for entries within the 0% to 23.6% range. For day trading, the 0% - 23.6% zone is recommended, while for weekly or monthly position trades, a tighter entry zone of 0% - 14.6% (calculated as half of the 23.6% level) is often used.
- Take Profit: The 61.8% level serves as the primary minimum price target. It is common practice to realize 50% of the position at this level and manage the remainder with a trailing stop.
- Trend Direction: Users must manually select the trend direction (Uptrend or Downtrend) and provide the relevant price data (range and anchor high/low) for the indicator to project the levels correctly.
Details
The script operates on the principle that liquid markets often move in Fibonacci ratios relative to their previous volatility. By inputting the "range" (High - Low) of a completed period and an "anchor" (the current extreme low for an uptrend or extreme high for a downtrend), the script projects where the current price bar is likely to extend. The tool allows for significant customization of visible levels, ranging from the standard 38.2% and 61.8% to extended targets like 161.8% and 261.8%.
