Perfect Ratio with
Fibonacci Strategy
and Price Action
About Strategy
Fibonacci Retracements, support/resistance zones, candlestick
patterns, and trendlines are all used in this technique.
I'm using it for intraday trading, but you may also use it on
higher periods to execute long-term trades, but I recommend
reducing your lot size for these transactions.
This technique involves trading in the direction of the current
trend utilizing important levels such as support and
resistance,trendlines, as well with Fibonacci retracement levels.
I suggest utilizing this technique for intraday trading on 15M,
30M or 1H timeframes, even though it can be used on any period,
but these two (15min and 30min 1hour) are the most effective.
We use Fibonacci to predict when a retracement may occur.
When combined with excellent risk management, this approach
may be very effective since the risk is low and the reward can be
three times higher.
Broker
Choosing a good broker is quite difficult. I have been trading with
Prosperity4x for an year now and I love it. Their customer service
is quick to respond and they have a great range of markets with
competitive spreads. The payouts are also very fast, which is

"Edge" in the Martket
You could look up the definition of the term edge online, which
is what I did.
You'd most likely come across a definition that has nothing to
do with trading.
Let me break it down for you...
In trading, having an edge implies being able to earn more
money than you lose over a certain number of trades.
Will you profit on the next trade?
Nobody knows, because that isn't the point of the edge.
However, an advantage nearly always ensures profit over a
given number of transactions (a large sample).
Here are a few things to think about:
An edge does not imply that you have more winning
transactions than losing deals.
A competitive advantage does not imply that your winning
transactions are much larger than your losing deals.
In a nutshell, the edge you will have in your trading technique
will offer you an advantage over all of the other traders who are
representing the market.
Getting an "Edge"
Given that having an edge implies making more money than
you lose over time, there are two methods to get an edge as a
Forex trader:
1.You win more frequently than you lose (and your losses are
controlled).
2.You win a greater percentage of the time than you lose.

How To Win More Often Than You Lose
If you want to win more frequently than lose, you must have a
trading strategy that has a greater chance of becoming a win
than a loss.
In other words, you will win more often than you will lose.
Consider the following scenario...
You've probably heard of Support and Resistance zones before.
Those are the areas on the chart where the price has previously
bounced or reversed.
A currency pair's price is likely to bounce or reverse in those
price zones again in the future.
However, not all of those zones will result in a rebound or
reversal, implying that merely buying at a support or selling at
a resistance would not provide much results.
You would not necessarily win more often than you would lose.
When it comes to gaining an advantage, the first thing that
springs to mind is, "How can I enhance the likelihood of that
transaction turning out?"
A very easy method would be to wait for a significant price
action indication in those areas (an Engulfing candle for
instance).
Then you'd have a better idea of who controls the market you're
looking at.
This kind of transaction has a better chance of succeeding.
You would get an advantage by limiting the amount of money
you risk and entering trade setups that would bring in a
suitable amount in the event of a successful trade.
Simple as that.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 3
How To Have Bigger Gain Than Your
Average Loss?
Some transactions are more difficult to confirm than others.
In such scenario, increasing the likelihood of your transaction
succeeding will be considerably more difficult.
Fortunately, you can still make a profit as a trader.
The key to gaining an advantage is to guarantee that your successful
transactions bring in more money than your lost ones.
A breakout trader, for example, may be able to recognize setups with a
reasonable chance of success.
However, the possibility of a "fakeout" (a false breakout) remains strong.
Because he cannot improve his chances of winning consistently, he
would concentrate on ensuring that his winning trades had a far higher
return than the average loss of his losing transactions.
Rather of attempting to earn the same amount of money risked each
transaction, he would want a higher Risk-To-Reward(RR)
The table below illustrates what win rate is required to break even
depending on a particular Risk-To-Reward(RR):
Risk-To-Reward(RR) Required Win Rate
1:1 50%
1:2 33%
1:3 25%
1:4 20%
1:5 17%
1:6 14%
1:7 13%
With a Risk-To-Reward(RR)ratio of 1:3, for example, a breakout trader
would only need the price to reach his take profit 25% of the time to
break even.
He will make money if he wins three deals and loses seven (a win
percentage of 30% over ten trades).
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 4
The Key To Getting An Edge
The approach to gaining an advantage as a trader may
be summed up as "turn the odds in your favor."
This may be accomplished by either raising the
likelihood of winning or increasing the amount earned
for each successful transaction.
Things have to be in place:
A risk that is under control
A consistent methodology
And in this book, I am going to introduce you to one of
these strategies. So let's move on.
Dictionary
SL = Stoploss
TP = Take Price
BE = Break Even (it's mean stoploss is moved to entry point
= Support/Resistance zone (S/R zone)
PA = Price Action (candlesticks)
SL to BE = Moving stoploss to entry price

Drawing Fibonacci
Bullish move
High
Low
Drawing fibonacci is easier than you might think.
When we got a BULLISH move, we place 1 at the low
and 0 at the high of this move.
When we got a BEARISH move, we place 0 at the low
and 1 at the high of this move.

Bearish move
High
Low
There are many strategies with this tool, but here we
focus the most on retracement 0.618. From
experience, I have noticed that this level is the most
effective (after all, it's the "perfect ratio" fibonacci
number). But at 0.5 and 0.786, we can also look for
retracements, because they also happen.

Support and Resistance
Looking at the chart, we try to find levels where the
price tended to change direction, and where there
was some reaction. Designating such areas is used to
plan your investments. This is because the price
movement on the chart creates various types of
cycles and if something happened, if the market has
already rejected a level, we have a very high
probability that it will happen again in the future or
at least we will be able to observe some level in these
areas. reactions.

Major/Minor Support & Resistance levels
Minor resistance or support delays rising or falling
prices within a broader market trend, while
significant resistance or support completely stops
rising or falling prices and causes the larger market
trend to shift direction.
Major Resistance
Minor S/R levels
Major Support
S/R = Support/Resistance
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 11
Is support can be resistance and vice-versa?
Looking at the chart, we try to find important levels
above and below the current price. All levels above
are resistance levels and all levels below are support
levels. Among traders S/R zone is often used.
If the price breaks the resistance level, it becomes
support, and the same applies to support but be
aware of fakeouts and zone not always have to be
respected so always wait for the confirmation.

Psychological Levels
If we look indifferently at any market graph, we notice
that it is at round levels that the price always has
problems: it either bounces and reverses its course, or it
passes to test a given level as the opposite pole in a
moment.
They are called psychological levels because humans like
simplicity. Translating this into the trading world, it means
traders value whole numbers, which are often used for trade
entries or exits. This can also happen in form of stop and limit
orders. When such orders are concentrated around a round
price level, this level can turn into support or resistance.

Trendlines
Trend, as is well known, is one of the basic concepts when it
comes to technical analysis. Simply put, it is the trend that
determines the direction of price movement of virtually the
entire market. The trend plays a key role, above all, in making
decisions to buy or sell.
Setting a trend line is not as difficult a task as it might seem at
first sight. The simplest and most popular trendlines are
created by combining the price of the support points (so-called
lows) and price peaks(highs)in a selected period of time on the
chart.
In this strategy trendlines are used very rarely.

Confirmations and psychology
behind the candlesticks
Evening Star Pattern
It's a 3 candle bearish reversal pattern. It
usually appears at the top of an uptrend and
is a bearish signal.
The first bullish candle means that the bulls
are still strong and are pushing the price up.
The second candle is the “star” with a small body (it might be
bullish or bearish) or without a body (doji candle) and it shows
that buyers losing their strenght and they're not as powerful as
before
The third bearish candle shows us that the strength of the bulls
has been extinguished and now the sellers are taking control.
This gives us a possible signal of reversal.
Morning Star Pattern
The Morning Star pattern is a three-candle,
bullish reversal candlestick pattern that
appears at the bottom of a downtrend. It
shows a slowing down of downward
momentum before a large bullish move lays
the foundation for a new bullish trend.
The first bearish candle shows the selling pressure and
continuation of the existing downtrend.
The second candle has a small real body (open and close prices are
near to each other, sometimes it can be doji candle either) that
presents decline of the current trend.
The first real sign of new bullish pressure is revealed in the third
bullish candle. In non forex markets, this candle gaps up from the
close of the previous candle and signals the start of a new uptrend.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 16
Engulfing patterns
As the name implies, the Engulfing bar is generated after the
previous candle is completely engulfed.
The engulfing bar can engulf more than one earlier candle,
but at least one candle must be totally eaten to be termed an
engulfing bar.
One of the most important candlestick patterns is the bearish
engulfing.
Bullish Engulfing Pattern
The small body is the first candlestick in the
bullish engulfing bar, and the engulfing candle is
the second.
The bullish engulfing bar pattern indicates that
the market is no longer controlled by sellers and
will be taken over by buyers.
In the context of an uptrend, a bullish engulfing
candle suggests a continuation signal.
The reversal is significantly more strong when a
bullish engulfing candle forms at the end of a
downtrend, as it signals a capitulation bottom.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern
This is how a bearish engulfing bar pattern
appears on your charts,this candlestick pattern
provides us with important information
regarding to market bulls and bears.
This pattern indicates that sellers are in control of
the market in the case of a bearish engulfing bar.
When this pattern appears at the end of an
upswing, it means buyers have been overtaken by
sellers, signaling a trend reversal.

Rejected as resistance Breakout
Possible support area after a breakout
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 21
4.Wait for rejection and Price Action confirmation to
enter the trade
IMPORTANT!
This is where a small support level was
created that was tested 3 times. These levels
are sometimes manipulated by big players to
grab stoplosses of retail traders. Usually,
after such a false breakout, the trend
continues.
This wick looks like fakeout
(liquidity grab,stophunt etc.)
5.So we got a huge rejection from the 0.618 level, the
S/R zone, and a fakeout. These 3 confluences give us a
high probability trade. We enter the trade at first green
candle after a fakeout, that closed above previous one.
SL under the low of this candle, TP at the top or a little
below last high.
For the simple reason that it was
manipulation, we do not take into account
the low that was created by manipulation.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 22
7.We observe our trade, how the price behaves, we look for
possible resistance at which the price may turn back and,
above all, we secure the position when it is in profit.
Resistance
Move SL to BE
When price reaches resistance level we can move SL to BE,
then we got risk free trade!You can take partials if you want on
such a level, so when it drops down to BE, you will be in profit
anyway.
8. Watch and manage the trade. This trade was RR 1:4.5
The strategy I am presenting is not a golden grail (something like that does not exist).
This is not a 100% winning strategy. To be profitable, you must properly manage risk
to secure your capital. Remember that the most important thing is
RISK MANAGMENT!

Each strategy is different and the most important thing
is that you should adapt a given strategy to yourself so
that you enjoy it. There is no need to get tired of playing
like the others. Before I got here, I went through dozens
of strategies.So don't worry if you want to add
something to this strategy.By experimenting and
spending hours with the chart, we understand the
market better, so I hope I can help you understand it

Here i took
50% of profits
I noticed resistance at the 0.618 fibonacci level, so if
this level would be rejected, I expected a further down
move.The higher timeframe trend was bearish, so I was
looking for sell positions.
I entered when price rejected the 0.618 fibonacci level
and the green candle closed below the red one, creating
a bullish engulfing pattern.
Beginners should enter after a candle has closed.
Entering with a candle still open is a risky move that
needs practice.
*For expirienced*
If you want to take entry earlier to catch a better RR,
you can change your timeframe to lower to spot a
possible reversal.

Trade 2
#1 #2
I moved SL to BE when
price broke last lower high
#1 In this example we see 2 zones that are at levels 0.5 and
0.618. In point number 1, we have a nice move down to
the ALMOST 0.5 zone and a bullish engulfing candle
(good entry if it touched the 0.5 level). I did not enter
this trade because a few pips were missing to the
fibonacci zone. It is better to wait until all entry
conditions are met.
#2 As we can see further, the price went down to the
second zone(0.618), so at this point I was waiting for
Price Action confirmation. When the third green candle
closed above the high of the last candle, I opened a buy
position with a stop loss below the low and TP at the
last high. In this trade i did not take partial becouse of
strong bullish momentum.RR of this trade was 1:6

Here we have an example of a BAD trade. First of all, the higher
timframe trend was bearish, so it would be against the trend
(remember that trend is your friend and always look at the
bigger timframe trend). Second, the RR on this trade was very
low 1:1.3 .You should look for trades with at least a 1:2 RR.

Observed the price's bullish movement, identified the

expected the price to rise further if it rejected that level.
Long wicks suggest that the zone is respected, so we
should look to take a buy position. I took a buy position

As I said before, it's not a 100% win ratio strategy. Sometimes the

This trade was a risky one, so I closed 50% of my position near
entry. Why? because I protected my capital.
Look at the candles, sellers and buyers,they both show strength. I
entered when green candle closed above the last two candles. Of
course, I could have entered one candle earlier to catch a better RR,
but I wanted to wait for a better confirmation. After the # 1 big red
candle, I closed 50% of my position near the entry point because it
shows that sellers still had power and there was indecision in the
market. TP hit, but only with 50% of my position. Still good.
Such action may "assist" you in losing less at times and "assist" you
in winning less at other times.
Because the market will always be there, you should always
protect your capital.

Here is mine Swing Trade,sometimes I make such transactions to take a
break from forex. We can see a nice uptrend (in this trend, as you look
at, you could've entered and take a long position a few times, thanks to
this strategy). The price went up a lot without any corrections, so I
waited for a correction to the s/r zone and 0.618 fibonacci. It so
happened that the price has additionally reached the trend line, so we
have 4 confirmations to take a position. And great

When the price reached
50% of its target, I
cashed half of it.
Another swing trade, this time on the H4 timeframe. That was a
nice trade with RR 1:9. The price here was very bearish. I marked
the fibonacci area after the price dropped, and as usual, I marked
the S/R zone. As you can see, there was a huge imbalance in price,
so I expect that it will be filled and the price will go further down.
My RR was this high because I spotted it on H4 but entered a sell
position on H1 (That's why multi-timframe analysis is very
important!). When the trade reached 50% of my target, I took 50%
of my profits and moved SL to BE.
Of course, this position could be taken without changing the
timeframe and staying on H4. On H4 there are also nice
confirmations like long wick rejection and evening star pattern,
but then I would probably have 50% profit and the position would
hit BE.
This trade should show you the potential of that strategy.

Putting the stoploss a
little higher can save Wick rejection from
your trade 0.618 fib level
Entry after candle closed
below the low of the last
candle.
I remember this trade. Good entry but I was a little bit greedy. I
like having tight stops, and even though my stop loss was
above the last high, it wasn't enough. I could put the stoploss
above the high of the candle that broke the zone to the
downside (look # 1). Sometimes if you put a stoploss like in the
example above, it's way safer, but you've got a smaller RR. I
still prefer putting stops above the last high. But you, as a
beginner, should try with bigger stops and, in time, gain
experience and adapt it to yourself.
Losses are part of the game because there is no strategy with a
100% win ratio.Keep that in mind

zone, bullish engulfing, and big spike down created
another imbalance that indicates that price may fill
this imbalance. I entered after bullish engulfing

Now, remembering the earlier mistake and too thight stoploss,
seeing that the strength of bears is high when reaching our
zone of interest, I remembered that my SL should be a bit
bigger. So I put it under the last low before breaking out of the
S/R zone.
Entry was taken after green candle closed above red candle.
Overall, it was quite a risky trade. As a beginner, you should
wait out such positions or play them on a demo account for
experience. What was wrong? There were very large price
fluctuations, which speak of indecision in the market.
Remember that entering such positions is risky, but when you
do, you must secure your capital.
In the above trade, I showed you moments that show large
price fluctuations.
Sometimes it's better to observe than force trades.

A strong S/R zone has been created.
This trade teaches us to take part of the profits.
We have 2 zones of interest (S/R zones) where we will be
looking for a reaction to this level. If the price reacts at any of
these levels and we have sufficient confirmations to take sell
positions, we enter. Of course, you see a bullish engulfing
candle here, and you are correct.I mentioned that it closed
below the last 3 candles because it is a stronger signal to take a
position (it shows strong bearish momentum).
After such a drop, I cashed half my profits because we were
approaching a zone where a reversal may have occurred.And
yeah, the price reversed and hit BE. But i took my 25%
profits(25% because it was 50% of 50%).
You can see a similar reaction for the second zone, only that
the price has reached TP. Unfortunately, I did not take this
position.

#2 TP
In this example, I want to show that you can use this
strategy against the trend, but then it is more risky.
Above we have a nice rally up, so I expected some healthy
correction.The price dropped really well. I drew a fibonacci
and marked the S/R zone. After the wick rejection from the
0.618 fib level, I was looking for entry. I took entry after the
second red candle closed below the last candle's low.
I anticipated that the price would fall further, so I split this
trade for two targets.I took 60% of the position at 1st TP and
the rest of it at 2nd TP.

Chart above i'm leaving for you for your own analysis.
Let's check if you have learned something :D
If you're curious of this analysis just DM me.
So, as you noticed, this strategy is no golden grail, it is not
a 100% win ratio. You have rules that you must follow in
order to be profitable. Trading is not only "buy" and "sell",
it is also discipline, endurance and consitency. I hope that
my view of the market and describing this strategy to you
helped you see the market a little better. With a little
practice, you can get a lot more out of this strategy :)
Now you see methodology so let's jump to Multi-
timeframe analysis :)

In this chapter we will take care of the analysis and entries starting
from a higher interval and going down to a lower one in order to get
the best Risk-to-Reward ratio and to make the analysis as clear as
possible.
In the example above we have the EUR/JPY pair on the H1 iterval.
I think you can see everything correctly, broken structure, where to
mark the s/r zone, draw fibonacci and trendline.
1H
Break of Structure
POI
Everything is marked on the H1 interval. The POI (Point of Intrest) is
clearly visible, so when the price is close we change to a smaller
interval and wait for the price to go down to our zone(POI).
Tip: If you don't want to watch the pair just pin an alert near the zone.

Everything is marked, so I changed to the M5 interval. On this
timeframe, the bounces from the s/r zone are much more visible, so if
you cannot precisely identify the s/r on the higher interval, just go to
the lower one.
I think some of you have noticed additional entries from the M5
interval. I will mark them in color...
5min
Long wicks
Long wicks
Small body mean lose of bearish momentum
As we can see, the price went down to our POI and not far from this
zone we can see the bulls' pushing force. Long wicks near the zone,
mean a fight between bulls and bears, very good sign.
At the bottom of the s/r zone we can see the momentum stopping at
the trend line. Long upward wicks shows the sellers losing their
strength. This is the moment where we wait for Price Action
confirmation to enter buy position.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 44
5min
Green candle closed
above 2 pevious
There it is, a nice long green candle which completely covers the
previous 2 candles with wicks. A very good signal to take a buy
position after the close of this candle. And traditionally we set SL
below the last low and TP at the height at the top of this move.
5min
I would take some
profits over here
The trade reached the TP, but on the way had a lot of indecision
caused by the psychological barrier that I marked on the picture.
Knowing this, we can secure the positions and take 50% of the profit
near the price of 130.00 in order to still got some profit if the price
decides to reverse on that level.
Thanks to the multi-timeframe analysis I was able to achieve a RR of
1:7, which would not be possible if I entered the position from H1 or
M15.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 45
Same trade different timeframes
15min
Here we got the same trade on the M15 timeframe, the price is
moving too dynamically to take positions meeting our entry
conditions. Risk-to-Reward is also not very good at 1:1.3
H1
The H1 interval is shown above, the RR is a little better, 1:1.4, but it is
still not enough to meet the entry conditions.
Remember that confirmations from lower intervals are weaker than
from higher ones, but sometimes confirmation from higher interval
is impossible or unprofitable.

As usual, we mark the zone where the price
rebounded, draw a fibonacci retracement of
the last longer move and wait for the price to
approach the POI. Two breaks of structure are a
good sign for continuation downside. At the
POI, we change to a lower timeframe to have a
closer look on the price movement.

The H1 interval gives us a very good confirmation with the first
reversal candle as it covers 2 previous green candles.Also imbalance
left at the bottom. so we got here very good entry confirmations.

Such price behavior is quite a good signal to take a position and catch
a RR of 1:6, which would not be possible with a higher interval
analysis.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 48
Same trade different timeframe
H4
Here we have the same trade and how it would look if we did not
change the timeframe. Remember that just because I change the time
frame doesn't mean that there is a rule and everyone has to do it, you
can check what suits you best, everyone is different and despite
having the same eyes we may see things differently.

Now we can see the price behavior and mark the s/r zone more
precisely. In addition, we see the supply zone rally-base-drop, and
this place should be our first TP when entering the position.

The price went down to the POI level leaving behind an imbalance in
price which is a good sign that the price will turn back to fill these
levels. This is a good time to change a timeframe to 1M.

When the price is at the POI, I look for a confirmation to take a
position, in this case we see a strenght loss of downward momentum
and a long upward candle covering the others five. Remember that
entry from low intervals is much riskier. I prefer entries from
5/10/15min.

Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 52
As you can see, the analysis of several time intervals is very helpful in
determining the zones and for better entries into the position.
However, it is important to remember that confirmations on lower
intervals are usually weaker than those on higher ones, and
sometimes on higher ones the price is too dynamic to do anything. It
is also important to set key zones by looking on timeframes like H4 or
D1, then you can see at which levels the price turned back or did not
react at all. By setting these levels, trading becomes simpler and
clearer.
For example USD/CAD goes down to 1.2000 level which was
respected and the price turned back 3 times after reaching this point
during the last month, this means that this level is very important
and when the price bounces back and goes up again we can look for
buy positions and catch a good profit.
I know it can be confusing at first but you have to master it, you have
to determine the levels at which the trend reversal can occur and
when you notice it sooner then you have the advantage.
I think further examples will help you understand what I mean.

Double bottom+ H4 Resistance
In this example I caught a reversal move (if you are a beginner then
focus trend continuation). What does the price movement tell us
here? At the resistance of the timeframe H4 we have a strong bullish
attack, it is shortly after suppressed by the sellers and the price
suddenly drops to the support level H4, but the bears were not strong
enough to pull the price further down and make a new low.With the
exhaustion of their strength and strong buyers' reaction again, the
price rise and formed double bottom and broke the bearish structure.
The price started to form HH(Higher highs) and HL(Higher lows)
which is a very good sign to look for buys.

So where do we go next with the knowledge we already have? To find
probable zones at which it would be attractive to enter into positions.
As it happens, at the level of 0.618 fibonacci we have a clear S/R Zone
and Psychological level 0.71000
5min
Candle closed above

Wick rejection from s/r zone
and psychological level (good
long confirmation)
I change the interval to 5min and wait for confirmations to take a
position. We see a rebound from the S/R zone and fibonacci. The long
wick suggests that there was quite a strong reaction to this level.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 55
The price tried to go back to this zone, but the bulls were stronger and
the green candle covered all 4 remaining candles. A good moment to
take a buy position
If you're reading it all at one, this is sign to take a break :D

Like in trading you can't overtrade and you have to rest sometimes ;)

This is where the Fibonacci Extension comes in, which can help us
determine the TP. It adds the levels -0.618 ; -0.276 to the settings.

Now with these levels we can stretch the target, but it's not like "set a
TP at -0.618 and the price will magically come that way", so don't use
it like a magic wand. 70-90% of the profit should be taken at the level
of 0 or earlier. Then leave the rest for the next targets.

The price reached the last level, but in the next example I will show
you why, because to determine the TP you also need some
confirmation and not just fibonacci extension.
30min
0.71000 I expected buyers
will come here again
I changed the timeframe and zoomed out the chart to show the zone
where "the most action" took place. Knowing such a zone, we can
expect that the price will reach it and will rebound or will continue
the movement. Knowing this, the rest of the position which we left to
grow should be taken out at this level.
PS. Do you see how the price reacted at the level of 0.71000 earlier?
Very aggressive rebound, that is why I decided take this setup.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 58
Example #2
30min
I think this example reminds you of something. Yes, this is a
continuation of the move from the previous example. Where we had
a TP the price turned back so we can again use our strategy to take
another position but this time WITHIN THE TREND!
30min
In this case I have marked 2 zones that interest me, one at 0.5 and the
other at 0.618 (you can also mark one big zone and try to play
positions in it until it is broken through).
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 59
15min
Of course I changed the interval to catch the best position. And here
is an example of a position "on the border". It meets all the conditions
for entry, but only on "millimeters", barely touched the level of 0.5,
an average rebound from this level and a rather lazy reaction of bulls.
But if you have a trading plan, stick to it.
15min
As we can see, the price went slightly on the profit but eventually hit
the SL. But it went deeper to 0.618 fibonacci and rebounded leaving a
long wick and the price covered the previous red candle, so I took a
second position this time more confident in this setup.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 60
15min
TP #3
(depends on dynamic
of the price)
TP #2
TP #1
This time I'm showing you the chart zoomed out to show you where I
would place the TP. The first would definitely be at the 0 level, the
second above the -0.276 level at the key level where the price turned
around several times and the third TP at the -0.618 level or if the
price was dynamic I would wait until the psychological level of
0.72000.
15min
You can see how dynamically the price moved. Seeing this I would
take out 50% of the position at 0 and then use a trailing stoploss (will
be explained in the next chapter) to maximize profits.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 61
Example #3
H1
Here we will trade again using the psychological level. We can see
how the price tries to break through the resistance several times, but
without success. Finally, it succeeds, but not for long, as it breaks
above the 82,000 level for a while and then turns back with a huge
bearish momentum creating a new low and breaking the structure of
all previous lows. Such a dynamic price movement shows in which
direction the market wants to go.
H1 This wick shows
how much strenght
bears still have
We draw on chart chart the S/R zone, fibonacci and wait for price to
reach the POI. Along the way, we see the bearish strength is shown by
that long last wick. We can see how much strength they have left. So
we change the timeframe and wait for confirmation at our zone.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 62
Evening star pattern
30min
We have a very strong reaction (Evening star pattern) with a deep
entry into the fibonacci levels, a good setup. I take a position.
30min
But the market lives its own life and decided to turn around and hit
the SL (it happens). But the price is still in the zone so I am still
interested in a sell position if I have confirmation. And I get it, 3 red
candles that close under the others and under our zone. I take the
position once again.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 63
H1
I use Fibonacci Extension but in this case the chart from the past does
not show interesting zones at these levels. And you can see for
yourself that it barely reached the level of -0.276 and turned back
strongly. With this example I want to make you aware that this tool
is not a magic wand and that you need other confirmations to go
along with the fibonacci extension.
It is true that the price later reached these zones, but I would have
already closed the position if I had noticed the indecision above the
-0.276 level. Alternatively I would have left 10%. If the price is
undecided, there is no need to stress. Just get out, take what the
market gives you and be happy.
Additionally, if you want to use this tool, use it preferably with a
trailing stoploss. Capital protection is the most important thing in
trading and you have to be aware of it. No strategy will help you if
you don't manage your risk properly.
Over the years I have noticed that most of the available strategies
make money BUT you must have discipline, manage the risk and
protect your capital, the strategy really comes last.
IT IS UP TO YOU TO MAKE MONEY NOT THE STRATEGY.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 64
Trailing stoploss
5min
As you can see, the price is moving
upwards after reaching 100% of our
target,if you see such strong
momentum, it's a good idea to use a
trailing stoploss.
A trailing stop loss is a form of day trading order that allows you to
specify a maximum loss amount or percentage on a transaction.
When the price of a pair or stock rises or falls in your favor, the stop
price rises or falls with it.
The stop remains in place whether the asset price increases or falls
against you.
In the above case, the price goes up in a strong trend and we move the
stoploss after each new pullback. This way, you can protect your
position against a sudden drop and still have a profit despite the
sudden drop. However, this method works best in strong trends
because when the price is very indecisive, you will not earn as much
as you could.
In the previous examples, you saw that there were moments when
the price was undecided. So if we had used this method, we would not
have made any money.
Therefore, I recommend using this at moments when the price has
reached 100% of our TP, then after we can leave about 20%-50%
(depends of dyniamic of the price) of the position for further price
continuation and adjust the trailing stoploss in our favor.This is the
way to maximize our profits, but it requires more attention and
observation of the pair.
Copyright © 2021 SimpleTradeForex 65
H1
In this case, if we moved the SL every pullback we would hit the SL
just above the 0 level, but seeing the recent high we would expect
that level to be retested. Knowing this we can avoid such situations.
Trailing stoplosses should also be used wisely if you expect higher
profits.
Taken out here
However, there are trades in which use of trailing stoploss will make
the position hit SL faster. If you are playing a setup and the price is
undecided, it is best not to use a trailing stoploss.

Rules for risk management
Don't trade with more than 2% of your capital for one trade,
and don't trade with money you can't afford to lose.
If you do this, you will end up trading emotionally, which
will almost always result in losses.
Set your TP in a realistic manner(min. 1:2).
It makes no sense to employ a 1:25 R:R because it just looks
great.
REMEMBER NOT TO OVERTRADE!
Limit yourself to a specific amount of transactions each day,
such as 3-6 or whatever number seems right to you.
After three straight losses, end your trading day,rest.
Whenever possible, secure your profits.
When the price reaches some profits or you can shut some
partial profits, move your stop loss to BE(entry point).
Recognize when trades are available.
That is to say, you should know how much time you should
spend in front of the charts, and if you don't find any
transactions throughout that time, it implies there were no
deals for that day.
Staying ahead of the charts as much as possible should not
be complicated. You don't have to trade every day.
Re-examine your trades to determine if you made any
mistakes. Start your trading journal.
Don't become a FOMO investor (Fear Of Missing Out)
It's very important to control your reactions/emotions.
