After making two posts on Fibonacci trading rules,

I decided to place two Forex trades based on the setups and post them here. The time frame is 5 mins.




1. From point B price retraced to the 38.2% line and also touched the 5WMA. This was the setup bar.
2. I placed sell order when next bar closed below 5WMA with initial stop at 61.8% fib level. Target is the the 161.8% level.
3. Being this is a short time frame I like to take quick profits usually in the order of 10pips. So, the first exit was 10pips and the stop was moved to break even. They call that a "free trade" from there on.
4. The target was hit and the down move started to reverse.
