Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between retracement and extension?
Retracements show how far price may give back of the move just made, and are used to find pullbacks. Extensions show how far price may run beyond that move, and are used as profit targets.
Which level should I pay most attention to?
38.2%, 50% and 61.8% are the three most widely watched, and they are highlighted here. Bear in mind they are drawn mechanically from the range: in practice a level tends to work better when it coincides with another reason, such as a horizontal level or a trendline.
How do I pick the trend direction?
If the recent move ran from a low up to a high, choose Up; if it ran from a high down to a low, choose Down. Up measures retracements downward from the high, Down measures them upward from the low. Getting it wrong reverses every figure.
Which period should the high and low come from?
Use a clearly defined swing on the timeframe you are trading. Day traders typically use the last few days, swing traders the last few weeks. Changing the swing changes every level, so it is worth noting which one you based your levels on.
