Fibonacci Retrace Ment Channel Trading Strategy
Fibonacci Retrace Ment Channel Trading Strategy
Trading Strategy, look no further than what our team here at Trading Strategy
Guides.com have developed!
The Fibonacci Retracement Channel Trading Strategy is designed for any market,
and any time frame. So yes, aside from forex, that includes you stock, options, and
futures people too!
The reason we made this one-of-a-kind strategy is because we wanted to
show the world how powerful the Fibonacci retracement lines are and why the
market respects these lines on a consistent basis.
I can go deep into what the Fibonacci Retracement Lines mean, but we cover that
extensively here in our Fibonacci Trend Line Strategy. So if you are new to the
Fibonacci world, go ahead and read that article and come back here when you finish
reading.
Also, this strategy is designed to trade inside the channels, not a break of one! Our
popular Rabbit Trail Trading Strategy shows you how to trade the break of a
channel.
Now...
Before we get started, let's look at what tools you
need for the job for the Fibonacci Channel Trading
Strategy:
The First and ONLY tool you need is the:
Fibonacci Channel Indicator: This indicator may look different for you
depending on what Platform you are using (Tradingview, MT4, Tradestation,
Ninjatrader). They all come standard on your platform. This is similar to the
Fibonacci Retracement tool, only you can turn the FIB levels to the upside or to
the downside.

Like this:
This will allow you to make perfectly straight parallel lines on the support and
resistance points on the uptrend or downtrend. Check out the "What Goes on at
Support and Resistance" areas if you have no prior knowledge as to what this is.
Let’s now jump into the rules of the Fibonacci Channel Trading Strategy.
Fibonacci Channel Trading Strategy
(*RULES FOR A SELL TRADE)
Step #1 Find a Strong Down Trend/ Uptrend that is
Forming.
This step is critical to get right. You need to find a strong current uptrend at this
point. More often than not you will see this occur on a trend reversal. Not all the
time, but a good portion of it.
3 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
Take a look:
We saw here a nice uptrend before it broke the line of support and headed to the
downside. At this point you need to continue to wait if the price will "bounce" off
of a certain level and head back to the upside.
Note** Our Fibonacci tool is not in play yet. At this point, we are waiting
for the price action to head back to the upside hit a "resistance" level and
then heading back to the downside forming a "Channel"

Step #2 of this Fibonacci strategy, In a Down Trend,
wait for price action to consolidate and head back to
the upside.
Here is what it looks like:
Again, there is nothing here we are interested in trading. The price action needs to
head back to the upside, consolidate, then we are ready for business for a sell
entry.
Step #3 of the Fibonacci channel strategy: Wait for
Price action to "Hit a Ceiling" or in other words
Consolidate Again.
Here is what this step will look like:
5 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
You can see in the chart above that I labeled each step of the Fibonacci channel
trading strategy. Each step is colored.
So at this point here is what has happened. Price action broke a main up trend and
then cause a long bearish trend (Step #1) Then, after consolidation, the price
action went back to the upside (step #2) This uptrend continued for quite a while
before finally consolidating again (step #3)
Step #4: Apply Fibonacci Channel Indicator
I will walk you through where to place this. You already did most of the work
already following Step 1-3 so this step should be very simple.
Place the Fibonacci Channel Indicator on the consolidation #1 and
Consolidation #2 in the direction of the channel.

Once you do this, congrats! It's now time to search for a trade....
After it shows you one more thing to confirm that this is indeed a channel :)
Step #5: Wait for Price action to push down and pull
back. (Make Entry after Pull Back)
Here is what This looks like:

Great! Do you see that on the pull back it hit our channel line? That is exaclty what
you want to see!
Below are all the steps so far with this trading strategy:
Take a minute and study this picture above. There is a lot to digest there!
8 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
This is the main five steps it takes to make a SELL entry based off of this
strategy. Simply follow each step by their color and you got your first entry!
SELL Entry #1 and Entry #2
So you already know where to enter the first trade.
Right here:
Now.. You want to press you winners with this strategy so when the price action
hits the 50% mark of the Fibonacci Channel indicator you make a second entry!
9 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
So at this point, you have two trades on, both in profit.
TAKE PROFIT/STOP LOSS
When the price action hits the 100% Fibonacci channel line you drew you will close
both trades immediately, no exception!
10 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
This is the other support level. When the price hits this level there any many
things that could happen (Mostly bad)
You see a lot of buyers know this level, so they have BUY entry orders sitting at
the 100% line of that channel. Once price action hits that level it's going to trigger
all of those buy entries (along with many sellers getting out) and this is what’s
going to happen most likely:
It's simply traders making trading decisions!
You want to use a trailing stop loss. So as the price moves down you will be moving
you stop loss accordingly. There are advantages and disadvantages to using a
trailing stop. Our team tested a few different methods with this strategy and
agreed that a trailing stop loss is the way to go with the Fibonacci Channel Trading
Strategy.
11 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
Here is what it would look like during the trade:
Once the Price actions touches the 50% Fib line and we added a second
entry, go ahead and move your stop loss to your first entry at the 38% Fib
Line.
This will lock in some profit in case the price action decides to turn on you and
head to the upside!
Once the Price action touches the the 78% Fib line move both stop losses to the
50% fibonacci line. This will lock in profit for the first trade and you will break
even on the second trade! You still win either way.
Take a look:
12 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
Like I said before, you exit both trades immediately when the 100% fib. line is
touched!
13 Fibonacci Retracement Channel Strategy
Note**The above was an example of a sell trade using
the Fibonacci Channel Strategy. Use the exact same
rules (only opposite) for a BUY entry.
Below is a BUY trade example using the Fibonacci
Channel Strategy:
Conclusion

great by implementing these simples rules into their trading system. These
channels are formed on all time frames and all currency pairs, stocks, ect... You
need to learn this strategy because this could be all you need to become a full time
trader! By adding to your trades you are basically doubling your profit! Some like to
stick with only one entry on a single stock or pair at a time (we understand) but for
those who have yet to adopt a strategy in their arsenal, consider the Fibonacci
Channel Strategy!
