It's very simple. Fibonacci retracement levels are the same resistance and support levels, i.e. the levels from which price is pushed back during the movement. A kind of "ceiling" and "floor" of the price. The difference between ordinary resistance and support levels is that Fibonacci retracement levels are calculated based on the Fibonacci sequence, i.e., they're based on the "golden section" principle. Why are Fibonacci retracement levels called "retracement levels"? Because in order to build support and resistance calculated this way, we need a pullback in price, i.e. a price increase following a price drop or, conversely, a price drop following a price increase. With such a tool as Fibonacci retracement levels we can calculate...

Most traders lose money. According to different data, 70-80% participants of the trade remain in deficit. Without hesitation, we can list dozens of reasons why a trader's account can decrease with every trade. But let us highlight 3 important points. They can be solved relatively quickly and see the result. 1 - lack of information Gathering information is important for a trading decision. Most beginners deal with analytics in one of 2 ways: Ignore the importance of information and open trades intuitively or based on primitive analysis.

The lifetime of any position on the foreign exchange market consists of three stages: opening a trade, accompanying it, and closing it. All trading strategies give a comprehensive answer to the question of when to open and when to close a trade. The question of tracking an open position in the vast majority of strategies is practically not disclosed, although it can increase profits by 200% or more. At the moment, there are three most common ways to accompany an open trade.

The first way of accompaniment is built on...

A trading strategy is one of the cornerstones of trading. A trader without a strategy turns into an ordinary person, haphazardly poking buttons in the terminal. Each of the strategies has its own characteristics and today we will disclose all the subtleties of channel trading strategies.

The ability to correctly analyze the price chart of a currency pair is one of the key skills for a trader. However, its presence does not automatically make a trader successful. Undoubtedly, the results of trading depend a lot on technical analysis skills, but the skill of chart analysis itself excludes the participation of some money and emotions of a trader.

That is why two traders with the same knowledge and skills will show absolutely different results. You can't just enter the market. Every day many trading recommendations and forecasts for trading on the currency market are published on websites devoted to trading. However, none of the most...

We will talk about trading currencies, cryptocurrencies and other assets in Russia. - Hello Dmitry. How did it happen that you got acquainted with trading on financial markets? - Greetings! My acquaintance with financial markets and trading has been, on the one hand, by accident, but on the other hand, quite natural. But I didn't understand it at once, of course. In my childhood and adolescence I watched movies like "Wall Street" and "Trading Places", read Dreiser's "The Financier", etc. It's true that I didn't immediately understand the main messages of these works either, but what impressed me was...

Every trader coming to the foreign exchange market starts his or her acquaintance with the market with supports and resistances. The success of an open deal depends on the correct identification of the levels. There are many strategies built on the principle of breaking through important technical levels or rebounding from them. However, not all of them will taste the same and they mainly differ in their strength. Support and resistance levels can be roughly divided into 6 types, which we will classify in order of increasing strength. Air Levels The air level of support or resistance is named because it is formed "flat". It is formed when the bodies or tails of at least four candles bounce from one and the same candle.
