Good morning p.Martin.

If trading using fibonacci retracement as a basis, what should be done? Should we immediately place a limit order in the fibo 38.2/50/61.8 area? Or should we wait for the price to be confirmed by the oscillator indicator before we open a position?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the strategy if we immediately place a limit order without confirmation from technical indicators?

And what are the advantages if we confirm the price first with technical indicators before opening a position even though with this strategy we might be late for entry momentum because the price has moved first.

Thank you P.Martin.

@ Yogi:
- Wait for confirmed prices first, either with price action or indicators, or both. The indicator doesn't have to be an oscillator, but can be another type of indicator.
- With a limit order: the price is not necessarily bouncing (rebounding), it could also continue in the direction of the retracement trend. Using a limit order (buy limit or sell limit) means it's a gamble.
- Momentum entry is not too late if your observation is precise at the Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 76.4%), by paying attention to the price action that occurs and confirmation from the indicator.
Here are examples of continuation of the retracement direction (EUR/USD H1) and bouncing (USD/CAD H1) at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level:



The signal for continuation of the retracement direction appears from the evening star formation and pin bar to the 2nd, and is confirmed by the MACD indicator curve moving below the signal curve (red color), and the OSMA histogram line being below the 0.0 level.



The bouncing signal appears from the pin bar formation and the curve of the %K stochastic indicator crossing the %D curve from below, and also the stochastic curve is in the oversold area.
