The problem I have with Fibs is that there are many different swing points to use. Sometimes you can use the overnight low to start draw from, or sometimes the low after the open. So now you have two ways to draw a low. Then you maybe see some obvious high 30 mins or 1 hour after open, so you start drawing. You might consider the 38%, or 50% or 68% fibs. So you have 3 combinations, but with 2 starting points, its now 6 different possible turning points.
Let's suppose that each day you start with the high and low of the day before. That is how I would do it if I were going to day trade using fibs. If today is rallying above yesterday's high, then I will just drag that high fib anchor higher with the market, keeping the low anchor yesterday's low.
If today is declining below yesterday's low, then I would keep dragging that low fib anchor lower with the market, keeping the high anchor at yesterday's high.
Then, I wouldn't look at these fib levels as precisely struck price levels. Instead, I'd treat the whole price area between the 38.2 and the 61.8 as a zone of potential fib support or fib resistance. If you are trying to use fibs as exact scientific levels, you will be disappointed in fibs. Use them instead as a zone, and you will love them. If, that is, you learn to use price candles to time your entries.
Therefore, I would then pick the longest duration candle I could that allowed me to be comfortable with using the low as my stop loss for longs, or the high as my stop loss for shorts.
Then I'd wait for price to trade into that fib zone. If today's high is above yesterday's high, then maybe I'm just looking for a long. If I am using a 30-minute candle, I want to wait for price to have a pullback from whatever its highest high of the past two days and into the fib zone. Once a 30-minute candle closed having traded into that fib zone, I'd look to buy using a stop order if and only if price traded above the high of that now closed 30-minute candle.
What if price falls below the low of the fib zone? Then move your low fgib anchor to the next daily low. Wait for the 30-minute candle that contains the low of the pullback to close. Place a buy stop above its high.
Your target could be a fixed set of points or a fib level of the pullback, or a test of the high of day or you can trail a stop.
But the basic approach should be start each day using the high and low of the day before as your anchors. Look for a pullback into the fib zone. If price break the high or low of the day before without a pullback to the fibzone, then just drag that anchor with the market. Keep th other anchor at the high or low of the day before.
Don't expect exactness. That isn't how the world works. Use the largest bar interval you can use and still be comfortable with the risk. No smaller than 5 minutes, and for day trading, probably no larger than 30 minutes. Over 30 minutes and you are better off working multi day swings.
Last thing is you reference Globex. If you are trading stock index futures, pick either Globex chart or the regular day chart. You don't need both. I would probably gravitate to the regular day chart myself. But whichever you trade, trade it. Don't look at the other. You will just find yourself the same place we started with you today with two starting points and three combinations and six whatevers.
Pick a candle interval, pick Globex or regular, start with the high and low of the day before, treat the fib levels as a zone not precision price points.
