interesting how many closed minds there are out there regarding this issue. whilst fib isnt the be all and end all it helps me trade the ES with uncanny accuracy giving low risk entries on the short and longside. i use it for indices as there are less outside influences pushing the numbers than individual stocks. it is simply amazing how many times a range from peak to peak retraces 50 to 62% of the range to then overshoot the previous high by 38 to 50% of that same range . the current peak to peak range is 1031 to 1074 . the high was just short of the 38% extension of the previous range . the 50% retracement of current range is 1052.5 with the 62% level at 1048 , lets see what happens as this pans out . i think we will find that this pattern occurs over and over. now when the retracement levels dont hold as support we go to longer time frame fib levels being 1/4ly , 6 monthly and yearly to find the next fib support levels . have a go instead of bashing it , put some fib fans on charts and see what you find . it may surprise many of you . there is more to my trading methods than fib but i'll tell you it makes up the basis of it. i use no MA's RSI etc. looking forward to some of you opening your minds to it .
cheers bris
