CTS-Fibonacci and entry

 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.

Here is a complete trading plan based on your request.

The Core Concept: Confluence

This strategy works by finding confluence. Confluence is when multiple, independent technical reasons for a trade all point to the same price area.

  • 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 control at that specific battleground.


Part 1: The High-Timeframe Setup (D1 or H4)

Your first job is to identify a major, obvious swing and a breakout on the D1 or H4 chart. There are two primary Fibonacci tools to use here.

Scenario A: Breakout & Pullback to a Fibonacci Retracement Level

This is the most common and reliable setup.

  1. Identify a Breakout: Find a clear consolidation range (a sideways box) on the D1/H4 chart that the price has decisively broken out of.

  2. Identify the Major Swing: Find the most recent major swing that led to the breakout. This is Swing Low to Swing High for a bullish breakout, or Swing High to Swing Low for a bearish breakout.

  3. Draw the Fibonacci Retracement:

    • For a Bullish Breakout: Draw the tool from the Swing Low up to the Swing High.

    • For a Bearish Breakout: Draw the tool from the Swing High down to the Swing Low.

  4. Identify Key Levels: The most important Fibonacci retracement levels are the 50% and the 61.8%. 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."

Example (Bullish Breakout):

  • 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 at 3,401.50.

  • 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

This is used to find new areas of interest after a breakout has already run for a while.

  1. Identify the Swing: Find the last clear swing on the H4/D1 chart (e.g., Swing High to Swing Low to a Lower High).

  2. 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.

  3. Identify Key Levels: The most common extension targets are 127.2% and 161.8%. 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)

You have identified your D1/H4 Fibonacci "hot zone" and set an alert there. Now you do nothing until that alert triggers.

Once the price enters your zone, you zoom into the M15 chart and become a hunter for a specific price action pattern.

For Bullish Entries (At a Fib Support Level):

You are looking for confirmation that buyers are taking control.

  • Pattern 1: The Higher Low (HL)

    1. Price pushes down into your Fib zone and makes a low.

    2. It bounces slightly and then pulls back, but fails to make a new low. This creates the Higher Low (HL).

    3. Entry: Buy when the price breaks above the small high between the two lows.

    4. Stop-Loss: Place it just below the low of the HL candle, plus your buffer.

  • Pattern 2: The Bullish Engulfing Candle

    1. A bearish candle forms inside your Fib zone.

    2. It is immediately followed by a larger bullish candle that completely "engulfs" the previous red candle's body.

    3. Entry: Buy at the close of the engulfing candle.

    4. Stop-Loss: Place it just below the low of the engulfing pattern.

For Bearish Entries (At a Fib Resistance Level):

You are looking for confirmation that sellers are taking control.

  • Pattern 1: The Lower High (LH)

    1. Price pushes up into your Fib zone and makes a high.

    2. It drops slightly and then pulls back, but fails to make a new high. This creates the Lower High (LH).

    3. Entry: Sell when the price breaks below the small low between the two highs.

    4. Stop-Loss: Place it just above the high of the LH candle, plus your buffer.

  • Pattern 2: The Bearish Engulfing Candle

    1. A bullish candle forms inside your Fib zone.

    2. It is immediately followed by a larger bearish candle that completely "engulfs" the previous green candle's body.

    3. Entry: Sell at the close of the engulfing candle.

    4. Stop-Loss: Place it just below the high of the engulfing pattern.

The Complete Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Frame the Market (D1/H4): Identify a major swing and a breakout.

  2. Draw the Tool (D1/H4): Draw your Fibonacci Retracement or Extension.

  3. 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."

  4. Set an Alert: Place a price alert at your "hot zone" and walk away.

  5. Wait for the Alert: When the alert triggers, the market has come to your predefined level of interest.

  6. Hunt for the Pattern (M15): Zoom into the M15 chart. Look for one of the specific price action patterns (HL, LH, Engulfing).

  7. Execute: If a valid M15 pattern forms, execute your trade.

  8. Set Stop-Loss: Immediately place your stop-loss based on the low/high of the M15 entry pattern.

This disciplined, top-down approach ensures that you are always trading with the backing of a significant high-timeframe level, while using low-timeframe price action to confirm your timing and minimize your risk.

  Trading technique with ADX        Trong western T/A nó có 4 cái indicators chính mà trên hầu hết các trading desks trên thế giới đều xài. Đó là: MACD, RSI, ADX, và gần đây nữa là CCI. Bên stocks thì MACD là dẫn đầu. MACD, nếu biết xài, thì có thể nói nó đúng chừng 80% trở lên trong US stocks. VN thì tôi không biết. RSI thì tôi không rành lém. Tôi thấy thằng Q đó quờ quạng làm sao ấy. Nhưng có rất nhiều người thề sống chít với nó. Và họ đều là cao thủ hơn tôi, nên tôi không dám chê thằng Q đó nhiều. Vì trong đời tôi gặp ít nhất là 5 cụ. Cụ ở đây có nghĩa là ít gì cũng 50 năm (yeah..50 years on the Street). Cụ nào cũng khen nó còn hơn thuốc Tiên. Có 2 lão dám nói là chỉ cần nhìn RSI thui, không cần nhìn giá mà vẫn trade được như thường. Anyway, thằng thứ 3 là ADX. ADX ở tại Mỹ, nhất là các trading desks mà tôi làm việc khi xưa, đều xài nó cho Currency market. Xin mở dấu hoặc ở đây để phân biệt được cái gọi là currency market và cái gọi là forex marke...

    5. STOCHASTIC:  Anh VC cho Q hoỉ, nếu nhìn lại năm 2006, 2/8 là đáy, nhưng trong suốt xu hướng giảm giá Momentum giao động thấp nhất là -100. Còn VNI hiện tại, dù chưa giảm nhiều như vậy, nhưng Momentum đã <-100 và đang từ dưới đi lên, điều đó trong PTKT có phản ánh điều gì không?      Momentum nó khác với giá. Nó là sự thay đổi của giá QUA thời gian. Trong một khoảng thời gian nhất định nào đó nếu giá thay đổi nhiều thì momentum sẽ đi xuống và ngược lại. Tôi không xài momentum vì trong giai đoạn này tôi chỉ nhìn trend qua các điểm reactionary points để xác định hướng đi của nó. Khi trend được xác định rồi thì tôi mới xài momentum để dò la sức mạnh của nó. Như cái chart của tôi phía trên, nếu giá đi lên khỏi 1155 hay đi xuống điểm thấp nhất của VNI hôm tuần trước thì lúc đó mới lấy momentum ra đo. Vì lúc đó nó sẽ nói cho tôi biết cái break out (trên 1155) và cái break down có thật sự mạnh hay không? Còn bây giờ chỉ số này chỉ trade trong ...
