It's supressed technology. lol j/k like phase said, 1.414 is the sqrt of 2. I spent a pretty penny myself to find that out. oh.. and then i saw the sqrt symbol on my calculator and felt ripped off. but seriously, it's a good ratio. I love squares ...

What is 41.4% retracement???

I used to trade a similar system that was very effective. So effective I should start doing it again. It looks like you understand the concept of the regression to the mean and that price typically creates a range in which it oscillates. So why ...

I wonder if it's related to the 1.414 ratio. Where have you seen it?

What is 41.4% retracement???

I think that statement needs to be qualified. There may be 50% sideways on intraday, but get up to the daily and higher charts and there rarely is sideways. But knowing that means you can take the system to a whole new dimension (pun totally ...

I'm on a hunt today for some fibonacci info and I haven't seen it yet. But I across this here thread and I thought I'd chime in. I agree with smjones in that I think most people plot fibs wrong. While any range can reveal harmonic proportion, I ...

I posted this in a different thread, but it seems appropriate in this post as well: If you really wanna wet your noodle, try taking square roots of fibs and plotting those ratios. All of a sudden a whole new series of numbers emerges. Some of which ...

Fib Experts Answer Please

If you really wanna wet your noodle, try taking square roots of fibs and plotting those ratios. All of a sudden a whole new series of numbers emerges. Some of which are even more powerful than the first. Or doubling up the fib numbers. ...

The latter has happened and price has risen right up to the trend line and square line and peaked right on the time line. No choice but to short some more. Short at 1.3607. Stop at 1.3632. Trading "time" is not about predicting the future. It's ...

Euro Manual Grid — The Euro manual grid from 2 months ago is still holding up. One of the things to watch for with this method is to see how price reacts at the diag. lines. They act as support or resistence and when price touches them it's a ...

Cycles of 45 and 144 — Almost exactly a year ago I had calculated some cycles of 45 and 144 calendar days from a point in December of 2004. I had totally lost track of this chart and found it tonight. I wish I would have been using it the past ...

Just to update the 32nd bar fib count ended up being a minor low. My price target was off by about 44 pips. Not too bad for a forecast a month ago. I didn't expect the run away drop right out of the gate but looking back at some other analysis, ...

Not an intrusion at all and sorry for the confusion. 45° is 1/8 of the circle, but the corresponding degree factor is .25. In other words the degree factor for 360° is 2. 180° is 1 on down the line. The Gann Hexegon uses a 360° degree factor of 1 ...

Great thread. I used the Bill Williams methods for about a year with good success. It's all about the add-on trades. I ditched the oscillators and now only use the fractals as entries, add-ons, and support/resistence. I just couldn't keep up with ...

woohoo — I'm short both pound and euro pretty much from the top on both. Holding until I get confirmation the cycle is up. On my blog I have a post that talks about creating a Gann Grid from the stock tools in MT4 on a 30 min. euro chart. The ...

Euro stopped out. I should have had a tighter trailing stop. Anywho, today is the day I've been watching for all week on the pound as mentioned in the fib bar count post above. Price has busted out of the triangle and running up to time on the ...
