Series of numbers - Add the previous two numbers to come up with the next number in the sequence. –Example: 1,1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 … “Golden Mean” - Measure the ratio of any number to the succeeding higher number –Example: 1/2 =.500, 2/3 = 0.666, 3/5 = 0.666 …. 34/55 =.618. Measure the ratio between alternate numbers –Example: 1/3 = 0.333, 2/5 = 0.400, ….34/89 = 0.382 Fibonacci Retracement Levels –0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.764 Fibonacci Extension Levels –0, 0.382, 0.618, 1.000, 1.382, 1.618 Fibonacci Retracements

First draw a line between two extreme points (i.e., a significant trough & peak). (It is always applied from left to right) It measures the size of a price move & subsequently places horizontal support & resistance levels on a price chart - Used to make trading decisions A series of up to nine horizontal lines will be drawn at the Fibonacci levels of 0.0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8%, 100%, 161.8%, 261.8%, & 423.6%. After a significant move (either up or down), prices will often rebound & retrace a significant portion (if not all) of the original move. The 38.2%, 50% & 61.8% levels are the most commonly used levels that the price could retrace back to. The Fibonacci tool can also project extension levels that show where the price could go to - Used for profit taking or even counter trend entries. Most common extension levels used by traders are the 138.2% & 161.8%. Note: Fibonacci is not a trading system in itself –used in conjunction with/ part of a trading system. Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci Extensions

Moving Averages (MA) smooth out the data / Warn of a trend change after it has taken place. A crossover is any penetration of a MA – Whipsaws (False signals). Valid penetrations - Filtering techniques. For example: –Take action on a MA crossover 3% penetration / Ignore all others. Better way to avoid whipsaws - Use more than one MA. Signals are given by a shorter-term MA crossing above or below a longer- term MA. Two MAs found to be reliable in determining primary market moves are the 50-day (10-week) & 200-day (40-week) moving average crossover. –Buy signals - When the 50-day or 10-week MA moves above the 200- day or 40-week MA & when the 200-day or 40-week MA is advancing. –Sell signals - When the 50-day or 10-week MA moves below the 200- day or 40-week MA and when the 200-day or 40-week MA is declining. Moving Average Crossovers

Stochastic - oscillator that indicates overbought & oversold conditions in the market. –During periods of price decreases, the price closes tend to accumulate near the low of the price range –During periods of price increases, the price closes tend to accumulate near the high of the price range. Slow Stochastic - Smoothed by means of a MA. The Slow Stochastic, plots two lines: the %K and %D. –Area above 80 - Overbought –Area below 20 - Oversold Stochastic Indicator
32
Relative Strength measures the strength of one entity relative to the strength of another entity. RSI indicator – Compare the internal strength / "Internal Strength Index Momentum indicator - Measures an equity's price relative to itself / Relative to its past performance. Front weighted - Gives a better velocity reading than other indicators. Less affected by sharp rises or falls in price performance / Filters out some of the 'noise' in trading activity. Buy & sell levels depend on period used –Shorter periods volatile indicator that reaches further extremes. –Longer periods less volatile but reaches extremes less often. –Vast majority seem to change direction at 30 & 70. Treats price as a rubber band - Stretch just so far - forced to contract. Lends itself to trend lines, support & resistance lines,& divergence. Look for divergence between price action and RSI. –Upwardly sloping price & downward sloping RSI – warning / one of them is wrong - Price is about to break down. –Downward sloping price & upward sloping RSI - Price is about to break up.
