As we mentioned throughout this course, the Fibonacci trading tool is one of the most reliable and profitable trading strategies you can use to find entry and exit points in forex trading. Even advanced traders are using this trading strategy to predict price movements and to know where to place stop loss (and take profit targets) market orders.
So keeping that in mind, let’s recap what we’ve learned about trading using Fibonacci retracement levels and key Fibonacci ratios. Remember, Fibonacci Retracement Levels are watched and used by many forex traders, which is why Fibonacci levels are so effective and valuable in trading currency pairs.
To help you remember all the different methods of the Fibonacci retracement tool, we have prepared a Fibonacci retracement cheat sheet for you. But first, let’s go through the key points to using Fibonacci retracements.
First and foremost, the Fibonacci retracement tool is a predictive technical analysis indicator that Forex traders use to identify the potential support and resistance areas and help you find key price levels to enter or exit a trade. And, like other technical indicators, the Fibonacci trading tool can be applied to any time frame and any type of Forex chart.
The key Fibonacci retracement levels to keep an eye on are: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8%, and 76.4% (not including Fibonacci extensions). These numbers are known as the Fibonacci golden ratio and are used by many traders as a predictive technical indicator in analyzing price action movements in financial markets. Before you can apply Fibonacci levels to your charts, you need to identify swing high and swing low points. A swing high is a candlestick with at least two lower highs on both the left and right of itself. A swing low is a candlestick with at least two higher lows on both the left and right of itself.
Then, you need to draw Fibonacci retracements on your chosen charting software. For downtrends, you’d click on the swing high and drag the cursor to the most recent swing low. For uptrends, you’d click on the swing low and drag the cursor to the most recent swing high.
And that’s it…. well in a nutshell anyway. If you skipped the previous lessons, then I would definitely recommend you read through them.
To help you memorize all of the above, we have prepared a cheat sheet with everything you need to remember in order to use Fibonacci trading tools and help you along the way.

Well, there ya go!
