Fibonacci 5 Candles Retracement

FIBONACCI 5 CANDLES RETRACEMENT - STRATEGY GUIDE
================================================================================
WHAT DOES THIS STRATEGY DO?
---------------------------
This strategy automatically identifies market trends and uses Fibonacci
retracements to find the best entry points. The idea is simple: when price
makes a strong movement (trend), it often pulls back before continuing in
the same direction. The strategy captures these "pullbacks" to enter at the
right moment.
HOW IT WORKS?
-------------
1. TREND DETECTION
The strategy looks for 5 consecutive candles of the same color:
- 5 red candles = BEARISH trend (price falls)
- 5 green candles = BULLISH trend (price rises)
2. CALCULATION OF START AND END POINTS
For a BEARISH trend (5 red candles):
- START: The highest point between the first red candle and the previous one
- END: The lowest point reached during the 5 candles (and beyond, if the
trend continues)
For a BULLISH trend (5 green candles):
- START: The lowest point between the first green candle and the previous one
- END: The highest point reached during the 5 candles (and beyond, if the
trend continues)
3. DYNAMIC UPDATE
The END point updates automatically if price continues to move in the
direction of the trend, creating new highs (for bullish trends) or new
lows (for bearish trends).
4. TREND END
Normal Mode:
- BEARISH trend ends when a candle closes above the previous candle's open
- BULLISH trend ends when a candle closes below the previous candle's open
"Extended Trend" mode (optional):
- The trend remains active until a candle closes beyond the dynamic 50%
retracement level
- When this happens, the END point "freezes" (stops updating), but the
trend can continue
5. FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT CALCULATION
Once START and END are identified, the strategy automatically calculates
Fibonacci levels. IMPORTANT: for retracements and pending orders, we
consider START as 100% and END as 0%, because we work on the part of the
trend that is recovered (the pullback).
The retracement levels are:
- 70% = level closest to START (smallest retracement)
- 60% = second level
- 50% = central level (often used for entry)
- 25% = level closest to END (largest retracement)
6. PENDING ORDER PLACEMENT
When a trend is identified and completed, the strategy automatically places
a pending order (limit order) at one of the selectable Fibonacci levels.
Available levels:
- 25%: closest to END
- 50%: central level (balanced)
- 60%: closest to START
- 70%: very close to START
The order direction depends on the trend:
- BEARISH trend → SHORT order (bet that price falls)
- BULLISH trend → LONG order (bet that price rises)
Stop Loss and Take Profit (for retracements):
- Stop Loss: always at START level
- Take Profit: always at END level
EXTENDED TAKE PROFIT:
If the order is executed (filled), the strategy can apply an "Extended
Take Profit" if configured. IMPORTANT: for the extended TP calculation,
we consider START as 0% and END as 100% (the original trend movement).
For example, if you set 3%, the Take Profit will be at 103% of the
original trend movement instead of 100%.
AVAILABLE FILTERS
-----------------
1. MINIMUM TREND (pips)
Filters trends that are too small. If a trend is below the set value:
- START and END labels become gray (instead of red/green)
- No pending order is placed
- The trend is still displayed on the chart
Useful for avoiding trading movements that are too small.
2. EMA FILTER
Uses two moving averages (EMA 50 and EMA 200) to filter direction:
- If active: places LONG orders only when EMA50 > EMA200 (uptrend)
- If active: places SHORT orders only when EMA50 < EMA200 (downtrend)
Useful for trading only in the direction of the main trend.
3. EXTENDED TREND
Modifies how the trend is considered "completed":
- If disabled: uses normal logic (opposite candle)
- If active: the trend remains in formation until a candle closes beyond
the dynamic 50%. When this happens, END freezes but the trend can continue.
Useful for capturing longer trends and extended movements.
VISUALIZATION
-------------
The strategy displays on the chart:
1. START AND END LABELS
- Red color for bearish trends
- Green color for bullish trends
- Gray color if the trend is not valid (too small)
- Remain visible even when new trends form
2. START AND END LINES
- Horizontal lines indicating the start (START) and end (END) points of the trend
- White color by default, customizable from the settings panel
- Update dynamically when the END point changes
- Can be shown or hidden via the "Show Start/End Lines" option
3. FIBONACCI LINES
The strategy shows horizontal lines at retracement levels:
- Line at 50% (yellow by default)
- Line at 25% (green by default)
- Line at 60% (azure by default)
- Line at 70% (red by default)
COLOR CUSTOMIZATION:
All line colors can be customized from the settings panel in the
"LINE COLORS" section:
- Start/End Line Color: customize the color of START and END lines
- 50% Line Color: customize the color of the 50% line
- 25% Line Color: customize the color of the 25% line
- 60% Line Color: customize the color of the 60% line
- 70% Line Color: customize the color of the 70% line
Lines update dynamically when the END point changes and can be shown or
hidden individually via options in the "VISUALIZATION" section.
4. PENDING ORDER LABELS
Show pending order information:
- Direction (LONG or SHORT)
- Entry price
- Stop Loss
- Take Profit
Positioned far from the chart to avoid cluttering the visualization.
ALERTS
------
If enabled, alerts send notifications when:
1. PENDING ORDER CREATED
When a new pending order is placed, with all information.
2. PENDING ORDER UPDATED
When the pending order is updated (for example, if the level changes or
if the END point moves).
3. ORDER OPENED
When the pending order is executed (filled) and the position is opened.
Alerts can be configured in TradingView to send notifications via email,
SMS, or other platforms.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
--------------------
To get started, you can use these settings:
VISUALIZATION:
- Show all lines and labels to see how it works
- Show Start/End Lines: true (to display lines at START and END points)
- Customize line colors in the "LINE COLORS" section according to your preferences
STRATEGY:
- Pending Order Level: 50% (balanced)
- Extended TP: 0% (use standard TP at 100%)
FILTERS:
- Minimum Trend: 0 pips (disabled initially)
- Use EMA Filter: false (disabled initially)
- Extended Trend: false (use normal logic)
ALERTS:
- Enable Alerts: true (if you want to receive notifications)
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
-----------------
Scenario: Bearish Trend
1. Price forms 5 consecutive red candles
2. The strategy identifies:
- START = 1.2000 (highest point)
- END = 1.1900 (lowest point)
- Range = 100 pips
3. Calculates Fibonacci levels (for retracements: START = 100%, END = 0%):
- 100% = 1.2000 (START)
- 70% = 1.1930
- 60% = 1.1940
- 50% = 1.1950
- 25% = 1.1975
- 0% = 1.1900 (END)
4. If you set "Pending Order Level" to 50%:
- Places a SHORT pending order at 1.1950 (50% retracement)
- Stop Loss at 1.2000 (START = 100%)
- Take Profit at 1.1900 (END = 0%)
5. If price rises and touches 1.1950:
- The order is executed
- Opens a SHORT position
- If price falls to 1.1900 → Take Profit (profit)
- If price rises to 1.2000 → Stop Loss (loss)

Fibonacci Extension Strt StrategyCore Logic and Steps:
Weekly Trend Identification:
Find the last significant Higher High (HH) and Lower Low (LL) or vice-versa on the Weekly timeframe.
Determine if it's an uptrend (HH followed by LL) or a downtrend (LL followed by HH).
Plot a Fibonacci Extension (or Retracement in reverse order) from the swing point determined to the other significant swing point.
Weekly Retracement Levels:
Display horizontal lines at the 0.236, 0.382, and 0.5 Fibonacci levels from the weekly extension.
Monitor price action on these levels.
Daily Confirmation:
When price hits the Fib levels, examine the Daily chart.
Look for a rejection wick (indicating the pull back is ending) on the identified weekly retracement levels.
Confirm that the price is indeed starting to continue in the direction of the original weekly trend.
Four-Hour Entry:
On the 4H timeframe, plot a new Fib Extension in the opposite direction of the weekly.
If it's an uptrend, the Fib is plotted from last swing low to its swing high. If the weekly trend was bearish the Fib will be plotted from last swing high to the swing low.
Generate an entry when price breaks the high of that candle.
Trade Management:
Entry is on the breakout of the current candle.
Stop Loss: Place the stop loss below the wick of the breakout candle.
Take Profit 1: Close 50% of the position at the 0.5 Fibonacci level. Move the stop loss to breakeven on this position.
Take Profit 2: Close another 25% of the position at the 0.236 Fib level.
Trailing Take Profit: Keep the last 25% open, using a trailing stop loss. (You'll need to define the logic for the trailing stop, e.g., trailing stop using the last high/low)
How to Use in TradingView:
Open a TradingView Chart.
Click on "Pine Editor" at the bottom.
Copy and paste the corrected Pine Script code.
Click "Add to Chart".
The indicator should now be displayed on your chart.
Trend and Momentum DashboardI created this indicator to tell me when it's time to trade (going long) and when it's time to wait (or going short).
You can enter up to 13 ticker (default is S&P500 and key market segments).
For each ticker, fibonacci levels are calculated and represented either in 5 color or 3 color mode as single lines.
(Thanks to eykpunter for the fibonacci level implementation. I'm using his code and modified it slightly).
Color coding (5 color mode) explanation:
blue = in uptrend area
light blue = in prudent buyers area
gray = in center area
light red = in prudent sellers area
red = in downtrend area
The topline is a combination of all ticker and shows if the market is either bullish or bearish (threshold adjustable in settings)
The bullish/bearish trend can also be used as background color. Alternatively the last bar in the selected time period is been highlighted.
How to use it:
The indicator works on all timeframes. Use the color coding explanation above to see the status of each asset.
a) You can evaluate "long" term trend using day or week timeframe. e.g. I'm usually trading only long and stay out of the market when it is not bullish (top line & background = blue). I'm also using it to know which segments/assets are currently "hot".
b) You can evaluate short term momentum (using 1h or lower timeframe) and see in which direction the market/assets are moving. e.g. I use this when the exchanges open to see how the day is going to move.
I've attached 3 examples in the screenshot - first is the default, in the second one I'm using different asset classes and the third one is for crypto.
Limitations:
There are security request limits as well as string limitations for the security calls in pine script, so I went to the maximum what is currently possible.
