Fibonacci Retracement Strategy: AMAZING way to trade with the MACD - YouTube

today we'll be going over Fibonacci
[1]
retracements and at the very end we're
[6]
going to talk about how to trade these
[7]
with the MACD so here's an overview
[11]
first we're going to go over what the
[13]
Fibonacci sequence is then we're going
[15]
to cover how to draw the Fibonacci lines
[18]
next we'll go into how to trade them
[20]
with price action and then finally we'll
[22]
close up with how to trade them with the
[24]
MACD a little bit of history first the
[28]
Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical
[30]
sequence in which every number after the
[32]
first two is the sum of the two
[34]
preceding ones it's a little bit
[36]
confusing so here are some examples as
[38]
you can see here are some examples 0 1 1
[41]
2 3 5 8 13 21 34 and so on if you take
[45]
the numbers 1 and 1 and add them
[47]
together you'll get 2 you take the next
[49]
two numbers in the sequence 1 and 2 add
[50]
those you'll get 3 the next two numbers
[53]
in the sequence are 2 and 3 add those
[54]
you'll get 5 so on and so forth
[57]
Fibonacci lines are used as a
[59]
retracement calculator in any market the
[62]
percentage of the retracement provides
[63]
support and resistance areas for the
[65]
current price action the most important
[68]
of these levels is the 0.618 level
[70]
although the point 5 0 0 area also
[74]
offers very strong support even though
[76]
it's not a technically a fibonacci
[78]
percentage we still use this in our
[80]
trading so let's take a look at how to
[83]
draw these lines we're looking at the
[85]
Apple daily chart from 12 3 18 to 7 25
[88]
19 and this is an example for an up move
[91]
step one is to locate a recent extreme
[93]
low that's marked in yellow here step
[97]
two is to locate a recent extreme high
[99]
that'll be in teal step 3 connect the
[104]
recent extreme low to the recent extreme
[106]
high with the Fibonacci retracement tool
[108]
now these Fibonacci retracement tools
[110]
should be found in any standard charting
[112]
platform when you connect the extreme
[115]
load to the extreme high the Fibonacci
[117]
lines will automatically draw I've
[119]
highlighted the point 6 1 8 and the
[121]
point 5 0 0 areas just so that you can
[125]
see them better there in teal

stay motivated to create content like
[135]
this and to continue to try to educate
[136]
traders all right so let's cover a down
[140]
move and how to draw you know Fibonacci
[144]
retracement lines for a Down move here
[146]
we're looking at the USO daily chart and
[147]
the dates are available here's a down
[149]
move so in step one its opposite of what
[152]
we did for the up move we're gonna
[153]
locate a recent extreme high first that
[156]
again is in yellow here step 2 is to
[160]
locate a recent extreme low that will be
[163]
in teal next we'll connect those will
[166]
connect the recent extreme high to the
[168]
recent extreme low with the Fibonacci
[170]
retracement tool I've already done that
[172]
here and I've shown these lines already
[175]
drawn okay so let's go into how to
[179]
actually trade this let's incorporate
[181]
some price action and come up with the
[184]
strategy alright so going back to the
[186]
same Apple daily chart step 1 let's
[189]
locate a series of recent higher lows
[192]
essentially what we're doing here is
[193]
making sure that we verify an uptrend so
[195]
here's a low and here's a low as
[198]
delineated by the white horizontal lines
[200]
as you can see this is an uptrend step
[203]
to draw the Fibonacci lines on the most
[205]
recent move up this is exactly what we
[207]
did a few slides back alright here are
[210]
the lines I'm gonna remove a couple just
[212]
so just to make room for some more text
[214]
step 3
[215]
wait on the downside move to retrace
[217]
back to either the point five zero zero
[219]
or the point six one eight levels
[222]
without closing below them if you look
[224]
at the pink line you can see that that
[226]
red candle came down the wick touched
[229]
the point six one eight area but did not
[231]
break through it step four look for a
[234]
red candle followed by a green candle
[236]
make sure that the green candle closes
[239]
above the open of the red candle I don't
[242]
want you to be confused by that make
[244]
sure the green candle closes above the
[246]
open of the red candle that is seen
[250]
right here we're gonna go ahead and zoom
[251]
into this just so I can explain this a
[253]
little bit further alright we're just
[256]
zoomed into that price action so we've
[259]
come down and we tested the point six
[261]
eight line here's the red candle open
[264]
and here's the red candle close here's
[266]
the following green candle open and the
[269]
green candle closed what we want to see
[271]
is that the green candle close is
[274]
greater than the red candle open let's
[277]
go back over that again there's the red
[279]
candle open the red candle close the
[281]
green candle open in the green candle
[284]
close what we want to see is that the
[287]
green candle close is greater than the
[289]
red candle open after testing but not
[292]
breaking either the point five zero zero
[294]
line with the point six one eight line
[296]
in this case it was the point six one
[298]
eight line all right now on to how to
[302]
trade this with the MACD indicator I've
[306]
already drawn the lines here on the same
[308]
Apple example this is an upside move and
[311]
the dates were previously shown on
[313]
previous slides let's go back and
[316]
incorporate some price action and go
[317]
back through those steps just to review
[319]
so step one let's locate a series of
[321]
recent higher lows and an uptrend
[323]
we've done that step two let's draw the
[326]
Fibonacci lines on the most recent move
[328]
up we've done that step three wait on
[331]
the downside move to retrace back to
[332]
either the point five zero zero or the
[335]
point six one eight levels without
[336]
closing below them all right we have
[338]
that
[339]
step four look for a red candle followed
[342]
by a green candle in the price action
[343]
make sure the green candle closes above
[346]
the open of the red candle alright we've
[349]
already demonstrated that as well now
[350]
we're going to add step five for the
[352]
MACD step five
[355]
verify that the MACD has crossed over
[357]
and the negative histogram has turned
[360]
positive that is seen right here on this
[364]
chart we're gonna zoom into this just to
[366]
show you a little bit more clearly
[367]
alright so here's a zoomed in view sorry
[371]
if it's a little bit pixelated of the
[372]
MACD this is a MACD cross up okay see
[377]
the yellow line crossing the T line in
[378]
this example next we have a negative
[380]
histogram turning positive go over that
[383]
one more time I'm gonna verify after
[386]
we've done all the previous things with
[387]
the Fibonacci retracement verify that
[390]
the MACD is crossing up and that the
[393]
negative histogram has turned
[394]
positive noticed that this is happening
[396]
at the same time that we see the green
[398]
candle closing higher than the open of
[401]
the red candle above in the price action
[403]
so we have an uptrend we have a
[405]
Fibonacci retracement test to the 0.618
[408]
area and then we have a green candle
[410]
closing higher than the open of the
[413]
previous red candle now we look below
[415]
for step 5 and we verify that the MACD
[418]
is crossed over and the negative
[420]
histogram has turned positive we have a
[422]
MACD crossing upwards and a negative
[425]
histogram turn and negative histogram
[427]
turning positive this is what we want to
[430]
see when trading the Fibonacci
[432]
retracements with the MACD hope you
