Fibonacci Numbers CalculatorThe following notes are designed to help you use the Fibonacci Numbers trading risk calculator. This calculator can be used for stocks or the FOREX market, simply change the units that you enter as appropriate, either dollars, pounds or the exchange rate etc. You only need to enter 3 price points, the rest is calculated Up Trend (Buying)1.Chart Valley Point - enter the low value2. Chart Peak Point - enter the high value3. Chart Retracement Point - enter the retracement value.
Note - the chart retracement point has not happened yet!, this is the pull back point, until it
actually occurs you need to use an estimate, a lot of people use the 0.382 retracement level to give you an estimate until the retracement has actually formed.
Down Trend (Short Sell)1. Chart Valley Point - enter the high value2. Chart Peak Point - enter the low value3. Chart Retracement Point - enter the retracement valueTrade/Don't Trade factor - set this to determine the reward/risk ratio, the default is 2 which means that unless the reward potential is at least twice as big as the risk potential don't trade. You need to set this to suit your own trading style.Fibonacci Retracement levels - these 3 boxes show the 38.2%, the 50% and the 61.8% retracement levels, these are from either the high point, or the low point, depending on the trade type (buying or shorting).Price Targets - 3 price targets are calculated, with obviously increasing valuesIn the bottom section the calculator calculates a reward/risk ratio for each of the 3 price targets, it shows the potential downside risk (as a %) and the potential upside reward (as a %), then calculates the reward/risk ratio. Using the value set in the Trade/Don't Trade Factor it will indicate if you should do the trade or not
