Excellent strategy. Combining high-timeframe Fibonacci levels with low-timeframe price action is a powerful and professional way to trade. This method allows you to identify significant areas of interest on the main trend and then execute with precision and a clearly defined risk.
The Core Concept: Confluence
Your D1/H4 Fibonacci level provides the"where" – a key battleground with historical significance.Your M15 Price Action provides the"when" – the confirmation that buyers or sellers are taking controlat that specific battleground .
Part 1: The High-Timeframe Setup (D1 or H4)
Scenario A: Breakout & Pullback to a Fibonacci Retracement Level
Identify a Breakout: Find a clear consolidation range (a sideways box) on the D1/H4 chart that the price has decisively broken out of.Identify the Major Swing: Find the most recent major swing thatled to the breakout . This is Swing Low to Swing High for a bullish breakout, or Swing High to Swing Low for a bearish breakout.Draw the Fibonacci Retracement: For a Bullish Breakout: Draw the tool from theSwing Low up to theSwing High .For a Bearish Breakout: Draw the tool from theSwing High down to theSwing Low .
Identify Key Levels: The most important Fibonacci retracement levels are the50% and the61.8% . You are looking for a "level cluster" where one of these Fib levels lines up perfectly with the old resistance-turned-support (for a bullish breakout) or support-turned-resistance (for a bearish breakout). This is your high-probability "hot zone."
Price breaks out above a range at 3,400. You draw your Fib retracement from the last major swing low to the new high. The 50% Fib level happens to be at3,401.50 .Your "hot zone" for a buy entry is now the 3,400 - 3,401.50 area. You now wait for the price to pull back into this zone.
Scenario B: Breakout to a Fibonacci Extension Target
Identify the Swing: Find the last clear swing on the H4/D1 chart (e.g., Swing High to Swing Low to a Lower High).Draw the Fibonacci Extension: Use the three-point tool. For a bearish breakout, you'd click the Swing High, then the Swing Low, then the Lower High.Identify Key Levels: The most common extension targets are127.2% and161.8% . These levels, which were once targets, can become significant support/resistance areas once they are reached. You would watch for price to hit one of these levels and then show a reaction.
Part 2: The Low-Timeframe Entry (M15)
For Bullish Entries (At a Fib Support Level):
Pattern 1: The Higher Low (HL) Price pushes down into your Fib zone and makes a low. It bounces slightly and then pulls back, but fails to make a new low. This creates the Higher Low (HL) .Entry: Buy when the price breaks above the small high between the two lows.Stop-Loss: Place it just below the low of the HL candle, plus your buffer.
Pattern 2: The Bullish Engulfing Candle A bearish candle forms inside your Fib zone. It is immediately followed by a larger bullish candle that completely "engulfs" the previous red candle's body. Entry: Buy at the close of the engulfing candle.Stop-Loss: Place it just below the low of the engulfing pattern.
For Bearish Entries (At a Fib Resistance Level):
Pattern 1: The Lower High (LH) Price pushes up into your Fib zone and makes a high. It drops slightly and then pulls back, but fails to make a new high. This creates the Lower High (LH) .Entry: Sell when the price breaks below the small low between the two highs.Stop-Loss: Place it just above the high of the LH candle, plus your buffer.
Pattern 2: The Bearish Engulfing Candle A bullish candle forms inside your Fib zone. It is immediately followed by a larger bearish candle that completely "engulfs" the previous green candle's body. Entry: Sell at the close of the engulfing candle.Stop-Loss: Place it just below the high of the engulfing pattern.
The Complete Step-by-Step Workflow
Frame the Market (D1/H4): Identify a major swing and a breakout.Draw the Tool (D1/H4): Draw your Fibonacci Retracement or Extension.Find Confluence (D1/H4): Identify the key Fib levels (50%, 61.8%) that line up with other support/resistance structures. This is your "hot zone."Set an Alert: Place a price alert at your "hot zone" and walk away.Wait for the Alert: When the alert triggers, the market has come to your predefined level of interest.Hunt for the Pattern (M15): Zoom into the M15 chart. Look for one of the specific price action patterns (HL, LH, Engulfing).Execute: If a valid M15 pattern forms, execute your trade.Set Stop-Loss: Immediately place your stop-loss based on the low/high of the M15 entry pattern.
