The Italian mathematician was Fibonacci. The Fibonacci numbers is the numbers which is named after him. In this sequence the numbers start with 0 and 1 , and the next number is the sum of the previous numbers. And the sequence is of the form 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377,610 etc. Each number is the addition of the previous two numbers.

While moving forward with the larger numbers in the sequence, the division of the two closer consecutive numbers results in the golden ratio. And this golden ratio’s where used by trading stocks , they produce primary and secondary results. Onward direction refers in the primary result and opposite direction refers the secondary result.

In the primary trend the retracement levels of the fibonacci numbers are as 38.2%,50%,61.8%. The basic stock charting applications are handled with the standard levels . They act like magnets only the counter trend rally takes place in the fibonacci retracement levels. Other then these levels they provide resistance. and they are 75%, 78.6%, 87.5%, and 88.7% .

The thumb rule states that the retracement levels makes about 50%, and the earlier mentioned levels attracts the price by behaving like magnets. The price must be analyzed by the persons who are familiar on those levels. Always the prices do not move in constant. Stocks, futures, forex,all instruments which are liquid,will often oscilate in Fibonacci proportions.

The charts of price scale and time scale can be enhanced with the applications of Fibonacci numbers. With the few simple indicators of Fibonacci ratio, can be used to determine robable price turning points,optimum entry,exit and stop-loss levels.

Then use price reversal pattern recognition after identifying the primary trend, to coincide with the fibonacci retracement level to acknowledge that the counter trend move has been over. Then to know the actual lows and double bottom or break through that level look for stocks.

The trader must have the clear idea and knowledge of the international markets because of the “risk arbitrage” in the existing market situations mainly in “forex trading”. For help “forex signal trading” can be used by the trader. While performing “forex rading” the transaction of currency between nations take place, so the trader must be aware of that.

This application of Fibonacci to trading can be very complex for a new beginner and does take time and experience to perfect it.Many floor traders use these Fibonacci retracement levels. These levels are used by many advanced traders as well,it allows them to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
