Fibonacci candle with Fibonacci ema strategy
Apr 16, 2021

The Fibonacci candle with Fibonacci ema strategy tool is a trend-following system that utilizes Fibonacci sequences to calculate smoothed candle values and moving averages for trade identification. By averaging price and volume data across ten Fibonacci-derived lookback periods, it aims to filter out market noise and identify robust directional shifts on higher timeframes.
Usage
The strategy is primarily designed for identifying long entries when multiple price action and momentum criteria align. A long position is initiated when the "Fibonacci candle" (a candle derived from the average of prices at Fibonacci lookback intervals) shows bullish characteristics—such as closing higher than the previous average close and average high—while simultaneously being supported by a volume surge and a stochastic momentum filter.
Specifically, the strategy enters a long trade when:
- The current average close is above the average open.
- The average close and average high are both trending upward over several periods.
- The average volume crosses above its EMA.
- The average Stochastic value is above the user-defined middle threshold.
- The average close is trading above the composite Fibonacci EMA.
Positions are exited when the corresponding short conditions are met and the average price drops below the composite EMA.
Details
The core logic of the script relies on the first ten numbers of the Fibonacci sequence: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55. Instead of using standard lookback windows, the tool samples price (Open, High, Low, Close) and volume at these specific intervals to create a "Fibonacci average candle."
Similarly, the script calculates nine different Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on these Fibonacci lengths and averages them to create a single "Fibonacci EMA" line. This approach combines short-term and long-term momentum into a singular smoothed trend filter.
Settings
- Volume EMA Length: Determines the lookback period for the EMA applied to the Fibonacci-averaged volume to detect volume breakouts.
- K: The period used for the raw Stochastic calculation.
- D: The period used for the Stochastic moving average.
- Smooth: The smoothing factor applied to the %K line.
- Stoch Middle: The threshold (default 40) that the average stochastic must be above for long entries or below for short exits.
FAQ
How do I use the Fibonacci candle with Fibonacci ema strategy?
You can apply this strategy to your chart to visualize potential trend reversals and momentum shifts based on Fibonacci sampling. It is best suited for higher timeframes like the 4H or Daily.
Can I change the Fibonacci numbers used?
The current implementation is hard-coded to use the first ten sequences (up to 55) to maintain the specific calculation logic of the Fibonacci average candle.
