Pergunta 1A:

 

Given a stock chart with an identified trend, plot the Fibonacci extension levels and determine potential price targets. Explain how you would use these levels to set profit-taking points.

 

Solution:

 

Step 1: Identifying Trend and Plotting Fibonacci Extension Levels

 

  1. Identify the Trend:
    • Low Point (A): $100
    • High Point (B): $150
    • Retracement Point (C): $130

  2. Calculate Fibonacci Extension Levels:
    • 61.8% Level: $130 + (0.618 * ($150 – $100)) = $161.90

\(\textbf{Fibonacci Extension Level Calculation:}\)

\[ \displaystyle \$130 + (0.618 \times (\$150 – \$100)) = \$161.90 \]

\(\textbf{Legend:}\)

\(\$130\) = Initial Price Level

\(0.618\) = Fibonacci Extension Level (61.8%)

\(\$150\) = High Price

\(\$100\) = Low Price

  • 100% Level: $130 + (1 * ($150 – $100)) = $180

\(\textbf{100\% Fibonacci Extension Level Calculation:}\)

\[ \displaystyle \text{100\% Level} = \$130 + (1 \times (\$150 – \$100)) = \$180 \]

\(\textbf{Legend:}\)

\(\text{100\% Level}\) = 100% Fibonacci extension level price

\(\$130\) = Initial Price Level

\(1\) = Fibonacci Extension Level (100%)

\(\$150\) = High Price

\(\$100\) = Low Price

  • 161.8% Level: $130 + (1.618 * ($150 – $100)) = $210.90

\(\textbf{161.8\% Fibonacci Extension Level Calculation:}\)

 

\[ \displaystyle \text{161.8\% Level} = \$130 + (1.618 \times (\$150 – \$100)) = \$210.90 \]

\(\textbf{Legend:}\)

\(\text{161.8\% Level}\) = 161.8% Fibonacci extension level price

\(\$130\) = Initial Price Level

\(1.618\) = Fibonacci Extension Level (161.8%)

\(\$150\) = High Price

\(\$100\) = Low Price

 

  1. Plotting the Levels on the Chart:

 

Price

|

| 210.90 — 161.8%

|

| 180 — 100%

|

| 161.90 — 61.8%

|

| 150 — (High Point B)

|

| 130 — (Retracement Point C)

|

| 100 — (Low Point A)

———————— Time

 

Step 2: Setting Profit-Taking Points

 

  • First Profit-Taking Point: 61.8% Level ($161.90)
  • Second Profit-Taking Point: 100% Level ($180)
  • Third Profit-Taking Point: 161.8% Level ($210.90)

 

Explanation:

 

  • 61.8% Level: A conservative profit target where some traders may take partial profits.
  • 100% Level: A significant profit target where many traders take substantial profits.
  • 161.8% Level: An ambitious profit target where traders aim for maximum gains.

 

Tips and Best Practices:

 

  • Partial Profits: Consider taking partial profits at each extension level to lock in gains while allowing the remaining position to capture further upside.
  • Trailing Stop: Use a trailing stop to protect profits as the price moves towards higher extension levels.

 

Questions Set 2: Q2A, Q2B

 

Pergunta 2A:

 

Analyze a trading scenario where the price reaches a key Fibonacci extension level. Discuss how you would adjust your trading strategy based on this new information.

 

Solution Part 2:

Solution:

 

Scenario Analysis:

 

Step 1: Identifying the Key Fibonacci Extension Level Reached

 

  • Key Level Reached: 100% Level ($180)

 

Step 2: Adjusting Trading Strategy

 

  1. Evaluate Market Conditions:
    • Check for Confirmation: Look for confirmation signals such as volume spikes, candlestick patterns, or other technical indicators that support the price movement.

  2. Take Partial Profits:
    • Sell Portion of Position: Take partial profits at the 100% level ($180) to lock in gains.
    • Rationale: Securing some profits ensures that you benefit from the price move while still participating in potential further upside.

  3. Adjust Stop Loss:
    • Trailing Stop: Move the stop loss to just below the 100% level ($178) to protect remaining profits.
    • Rationale: A trailing stop helps protect gains while allowing for additional profit if the price continues to rise.

  4. Monitor for Further Moves:

    • Target Next Extension Level: Keep an eye on the 161.8% level ($210.90) as the next potential target.
    • Rationale: If the price continues to move upward, aim for the next Fibonacci extension level to maximize gains.

 

Example Adjustment:

  1. Partial Profit Taking:
    • At $180 (100% Level): Sell 50% of
    • the position to lock in profits.

  2. Trailing Stop Adjustment:
    • Stop Loss: Move stop loss to $178, just below the 100% level.

  3. Next Target Monitoring:
    • 161.8% Level: Watch for price action towards $210.90, and be prepared to take further action based on market conditions.

 

Tips and Best Practices:

 

  • Dynamic Adjustments: Be flexible and ready to adjust the trading strategy based on new information and
  • market conditions.
  • Gerenciamento de riscos: Always prioritize risk management by adjusting stop losses and taking partial profits to secure gains.

 

Closing Remarks: 

 

Congratulations on completing the assignment! By using Fibonacci extensions to predict potential price targets and developing a trading strategy based on these levels, you have gained valuable insights into technical analysis. Continue to apply these principles to enhance your trading skills and achieve your financial goals.

 

Key Takeaways/ Tips:

 

  • Accurate Plotting: Ensure Fibonacci extension levels are accurately plotted using correct high, low, and retracement points.
  • Partial Profits: Consider taking partial profits at key extension levels to lock in gains.
  • Trailing Stops: Use trailing stops to protect profits as the price moves towards higher extension levels.
  • Adapt Strategies: Be prepared to adjust your trading strategy based on new information and market conditions.
