Moving Average Crossover FIBOnacci


RELOADED

There are so many Macfibo knowledge that I yet
share to you all, but as my audience are for newbies, I
will take it one thing at a time... Macfibo Edition 1.2, page 1

MACFibo Reloaded stands for Moving Averages Crossover Fibonacci Reloaded. It is almost like
any Moving Averages (MA) crossover system you could find, but as you would know by now (if
you have traded Macfibo before), it is unique in its mechanism objectively picking a high
probable price levels as profit targets upon a valid signal occurred.

Unlike Speed Trap, Macfibo (old version) and Gap-Pivot, I will try my best to cramp all the
elements of this system in just one E-Book whilst not making too complicated specifically for
new traders (such as trendlines, price action/price patterns, fundamental analysis, volume,
market cycles). In other words, this guide will be Macfibo Reloaded : The Complete Version
For New Traders.

I need to clarify the word complete version though. What I meant by Complete is that it is
the most recent version that I personally use both demo trading, paper trade, forward test and
live trading (Ive used this on Live Trading for a particular trading account since 2013). Any
system is a work-in-progress. You must not stop learning, you must not stop refining the
system (that suits your trading objective ofcourse). Honestly, Ive had tested 13 different
versions of Macfibo.. and this particular version is for me the best one Ive had tested over 500
trades and balanced (between day trader and swing trader).. SO
FAR..

My objectives for sharing this system are two-folds : Sharing and
Helping. I hope I can accomplish that with this system reveal.
Happy Reading and May you all be Profitable.

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

There are THREE Valid Setups for MACFIBO RELOADED :

1. Compass Macfibo Signal
2. Mini-Compass Macfibo Signal
3. Counter-Trend Macfibo Signal

I will explain each APPLICABLE setups with the following sub-parts :

a- Setup Introduction

b- Entry and Exit

c- Macfibo Trade Management (Exit) : The whole idea of developing Macfibo
Trade Management is to provide a trader an objective way in managing the trade so the trader
able to lock some profits while the trade is still going BUT more importantly that the trader,
more often than not, still ending up profitable even in a failed trade (price not hitting the target
profit level) .

SETUP 1 :
COMPASS MACFIBO
SIGNAL


Page | 5

Compass Macfibo Signal
A. Setup Introduction : This is a lot similar to the original Macfibo setup
except it involves two focal Moving Averages (80SMA and 120SMA) which I like to call it as the
Compass MA instead of one (20SMA). I call it as Compass MA because other mini-setups will
be taken according to the direction of the breakout of the Compass MA. Its almost like a
Moving Average Channel (two or more MAs made as one channel) breakout as well if you
really think about it. Study the following images to understand what I mean (before we go
through the entry setups etc). We enter a trade when price+5EMA breaks the Compass MA.

Illustration 1 : What is Compass MA Breakout

Illustration 2 : 80SMA and 120SMA forms the Compass MA (or Channel), regardless which
SMA (80SMA or 120SMA) the price breaks the last as long as both MAS are broken

Compass Macfibo Signal
B. Entry and Exit (Both Long & Short) :
Step 1 When 5EMA crossed above or below the Compass MA
Step 2 Identify the candle that confirmed the upside or downside crossover
Step 3 Pick the closing price and mark that as POINT A * (if confirming candle for Long Signal is Bearish
Candle, Pick Open Price. If Confirming candle for Short Signal is Bullish Candle, Pick Close Price)
Step 4 Identify the most recent significant Lowest or Highest Price and mark that as POINT B
Step 5 Drag your Fibonacci Retracement Tool from Point A to Point B.
Step 6 Mark TP at 200% level (study illustration left to right). Set Stop Loss at 61.8%.
Step 7 Enter trade. Your trade will be exited automatically at 61.8% (for cut loss). Refer to
Trade Management at page 7 for more information on Exits

Compass Macfibo Signal
C. Trade Management (Both Long & Short) :

I divide Macfibo Trade Management into two phases :
a) Removing-Risk Management Phase One
b) Removing-Risk Management Phase Two

Removing-Risk Management Phase One : As soon as you are in a trade, when as price hits
161.8% or roving along the zone, move your Stoploss to either Breakeven or 127.2%. I
personally prefer to move it Breakeven but that is only me (0 loss is better than any Loss). This
is actually the most difficult phases of the two because it is harder to decide wether to risk any
amount of profit to NO PROFIT (breakeven)... its a psychological issue more than anything else
***This is where I also find it amazing that some traders prefer to lose a certain amount of loss than breaking even.

Removing-Risk Management Phase Two : This is certainly the phase that you really want to be
into. I like to call this Phase Two as a Free Trade. Whatever you decide, you are still profitable
and maintained a 2:1 Risk Reward Ratio. When price moves inside between TP zone and 177%
(exactly calculated to 2:1 Risk Reward Ratio), move the Stoploss (either from Breakeven or
127.2%) to 177% level. Even if price reverses and hits this level even before the targeted 200%,
you are still end up profitable in a very good 2:1 Risk Reward trade. It is all Piptastic! ***Unless you are
not greedy like me, you probably already close this guide and give me the middle finger.








REMOVING-RISK MANAGEMENT IS STILL IN ONGOING TESTING AND STUDY. THIS CAN BE FURTHER DISCUSSED IN THE FORUM THREAD

D. Filters : Support and Resistance


If S/R Line blocks the 127.2 or 161.8 or any
target profit 200%, then you either IGNORE this
setup OR Simply set TP at the vary S/R Line

OR



You set Take Profit at the
nearest profitable Fibo but
only hold the trade (if price
not hitting the TP) for 5
trading days upon entering
the trade.








*Traders are not forced to apply this filtering technique. This shall be discussed further in the forum thread

SETUP 2 :
EXTENDED MACFIBO
SIGNAL

Page | 10

Extended Macfibo Signal
A. Setup Introduction : You can say this is like old Macfibos Secondary
Signal. Infact, the concept is exactly the same except a)I chose not to call it as Secondary
Signal obviously b)It is very important part of Macfibo Reloaded (unlike in old Macfibo I
regarded Secondary Signal as secondary) c) It doesnt use 8sma, but uses TWO Moving
Averages (20SMA and 30SMA) which I call it as Mini-Compass MA.

The Mini-Compass will create some form of a channel (like Compass MA). For this particular
setup (Extended Macfibo Signal), only one MA are required to be crossed. For a LONG Signal,
the upper MA (doesnt matter if its 20SMA or 30SMA) is only required to be crossed (Refer to
the chart below, the last crossover). For a SHORT Signal, the lower MA (doesnt matter if its
20SMA or 30SMA) is only required to be crossed.

Extended Macfibo Signal
B. Entry and Exit (Both Long & Short) :

Step 1 : Identify current Compass Macfibo
Signal and plot its both Point A and Point B
(Regardless if it was a profitable trade or
not)

Step 2 : When 5EMA cross above&below
Mini-Compas MA

Step 3 : Identify the candle that confirmed
the upside or downside crossover

Step 4 Pick the closing price and mark that
as the NEW POINT A * (if confirming candle for
Long Signal is Bearish Candle, Pick Open Price. If
Confirming candle for Short Signal is Bullish Candle, Pick
Close Price)

Step 5 Drag your Fibonacci Retracement
Tool from Point A to Point B (Compass
Macfibo Signals Point B).

Step 6 Mark TP at 200% level. Set Stop Loss
at 61.8%.

Step 7 Enter trade. Your trade will be
exited automatically at 61.8% (for cut loss).

Extended Macfibo Signal
Abnormal but Valid Signals

This setup will be treated as a Valid but Abnormal Extended Macfibo
Signal. Normal Macfibo Trade Management applies

*There are more cases of weird MA crossovers, its too vast for this E-
Book. We can discuss this further (when needed) in the forum. We
just focus on the perfect setups for this guide.

Extended Macfibo Signal
C. Trade Management (Both Long & Short) :

I dont want to make it redundant (plus my fingers are cramping typing this guide). It has the
similar concept as Compass Macfibo Signals Trade Management. PLEASE GO TO PAGE 7.

Simply put :
Phase One : When price roves around 161.8% -> Move SL to BE or 127.2%
Phase Two : When price closes inside between 200%-177%, Move SL to 177%

D. Filters : NONE

SETUP 2 :
COUNTER-TREND
SIGNAL

Page | 15

Counter-Trend Macfibo Signal
A. Setup Introduction : If you regard Compass Macfibo Signal as a signal that
potentially signifies an upcoming new Weekly Trend (even up to Months!) and Extended
Macfibo Signal as a continuation wave of the current trend then it is only logical to say that
Counter-Trend Macfibo signal is a potentially Correctional Wave within a developed/developing
trend. We are going NOT only taking the real trending wave (upon Compass or Extended
Macfibo signal) but we are taking its potentially retracement.

Pause a minute though, I say potentially because a) There is no way we can predict if a new
wave will only be correctional/retracement b) There are no guessing in trading and c) It dont
matter which wave it is.. as long as the setup rules have been fulfilled.. we will take the trade.
Now lets move on to the Entry&Exit setup..



Page | 16

Counter-Trend Macfibo Signal
B. Entry and Exit (Both Long & Short) :

Step 1 When 5EMA crossed above or below
the Mini-Compass MA but in the opposite of
the current trend (For Long 5ema crossed
above Mini-Compass MA whilst Price is under
Compass MA, For Short 5ema crossed below
Mini-Compass MA whilst Price is above
Compass MA)

Step 2 Identify the candle that confirmed the
upside or downside crossover

Step 3 Pick the closing price and mark that as
POINT A * (if confirming candle for Long Signal is Bearish
Candle, Pick Open Price. If Confirming candle for Short Signal
is Bullish Candle, Pick Close Price)
Step 4 Identify the most recent significant
Lowest or Highest Price and mark that as
POINT B

Step 5 Drag your Fibonacci Retracement Tool
from Point A to Point B.

Step 6 Use the Crosshair tool and find a an
intersection point between the candle that
had been identified at Step 2 and the nearest
MA of the Compass MA. Mark that as Point C

Step 7 Mark TP at 161.8 by default. If Point C
blocks 161.8 then mark Point C as TP. Set SL at
61.8% (if TP is at 161.8%) or maintain 1:1 Risk
Reward Ratio (if TP is at Point C)

Step 8 Enter trade. Your trade will be exited
automatically at 61.8% (for cut loss). Refer to
Trade Management at page 17 for more
information on Exits

Counter Trend Macfibo Signal
C. Trade Management (Both Long & Short) : NONE

D. Filters : This is quite discretionary. Basically if the
space between PT A to PT C is like 10 or 15 pips, best to
ignore the setup.

FINAL WORDS

I hope this system will be beneficial to you
and please ask anything in the forum. May
you always be Piptastically Profitable..
