Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to commonly asked questions about Fibonacci Trading
Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions are tools used in technical analysis to predict potential support and resistance levels in trading. The Fibonacci Retracements are useful in providing a roadmap for price action, while the Fibonacci Extensions tool is useful in comparing previous swings. Both tools are based on key numbers identified by mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci.
To add Fibonacci tools in ThinkOrSwim, go to the Drawings menu in ThinkOrSwim, select Drawing Tools, and choose either Fibonacci Retracements or Fibonacci Extensions. I'll show you how to do this step-by-step in Modules 2 and 3 of our Fibonacci Trading course.

I caught a nice bounce using the fib extensions levels from last week's video. Waited for an entry to the support zone near the Market Pulse, took the trade off at the 1.618.
