## Summary

This video presents a five-step trading strategy that combines Fibonacci retracement with fair value gaps and liquidity sweeps to improve the probability of successful trades. The creator explains how to configure the Fibonacci tool with specific levels and demonstrates the strategy on real chart examples, emphasizing the importance of higher time frame analysis and confirmation signals.

### Key Points

- **Fibonacci Tool Overview** [00:02] — The Fibonacci retracement tool can predict price reversal points and identify optimal take-profit levels, but most traders use it incorrectly.
- **Custom Fibonacci Settings** [00:28] — On TradingView, set Fibonacci levels to 0, 0.706, 0.618, 1, and 0.79 to create the 'golden zone' where price has the highest probability of reversing.
- **Basic Fibonacci Usage** [01:05] — Standard approach: mark from trend low to high, wait for price to retrace to the golden zone, set stop-loss below it, and take-profit at the highs.
- **Need for Higher Probability** [01:43] — The basic strategy works often but not always; a five-step strategy is introduced to increase the likelihood that the golden zone holds.
- **Step 1: Find High-Interest Area** [02:11] — Identify a fair value gap on a higher time frame (e.g., 4-hour or daily). A fair value gap is a three-candle formation where price moves rapidly, creating an imbalance that price often retests.
- **Step 2: Find Liquidity on Lower Time Frame** [03:31] — On a 30-minute chart, look for price to sweep a low (liquidity) before entering the high-interest zone. Liquidity is open orders, often stop-losses below lows.
- **Step 3: Change of Character** [04:11] — Confirm the high-interest zone is strong by seeing price bounce exactly at the zone and then break the previous high, indicating bullish momentum.
- **Step 4: Apply Fibonacci** [04:38] — Mark Fibonacci from the low of the liquidity sweep to the high of the change of character to identify the golden zone for potential reversal.
- **Step 5: Enter the Trade** [05:05] — Enter at the 71% level, set stop-loss below the most recent low, and take-profit at the top of the range. A secret trick is teased to optimize take-profit and improve risk-to-reward.
- **Real Chart Example 1** [05:31] — On the 4-hour chart, find an uptrend with a fair value gap. On the 30-minute chart, price sweeps liquidity, enters the gap, and breaks a high (change of character). Fibonacci is applied, and price bounces exactly at the golden zone, hitting take-profit.
- **Real Chart Example 2** [06:49] — Another example: find uptrend and fair value gap on 4-hour, liquidity sweep on lower timeframe, change of character, Fibonacci golden zone, and price bounces perfectly, resulting in a winning trade.
- **Risk-to-Reward Improvement** [07:42] — The example had a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio, which is good but not great. The creator teases a secret trick to improve risk-to-reward, offered via a PDF guide in the comments.

### Conclusion

The video provides a structured, multi-step approach to using Fibonacci retracement with fair value gaps and liquidity concepts, demonstrated on real charts. The strategy aims to increase trade probability and improve risk-to-reward, with a promise of a secret trick for further optimization.

use it correctly, it can not only predict the exact point where price is going to reverse, like it did here, here, here, and here, but it can also find the perfect places to set your takerit. And all of this is done by
using the Fibonacci retracement tool. Yeah, you probably have heard of it, but unfortunately, most traders use it completely wrong. I'm going to show you how to use it correctly and give you my secret settings that I use for it. and
on top of that give you a strategy that will give you sniper entries with tight stop- losses and huge takeprofit. First, you're going to go to Trading View. If in my description. You're going to go to the left category bar. Click this second
icon. This will give you the Fibonacci tool. Place it on your chart. Go to the settings. Change the values to 0, 0.706, 0.618, 1, and 0.79. This will give you
three main levels that look like this. These levels are what's called the golden zone or where price has the highest probability of pulling back to and reversing. So in essence, you would
normally use the Fibonacci as follows. You grab your Fibonacci tool, you mark from the low of the trend to the high of the trend. This will mark out your level. Price will often come back down and have the highest probability of
reversing at the golden zone. Set your stop loss below the golden zone. Set your takeprofit at the highs. And now you have a trading strategy that works pretty decent. But here's the thing. This strategy is nice and all, and if
you test it, it does work pretty often, but you will also quickly figure out it doesn't work all of the time. And sometimes price will just break the losing trade that hit your stop-loss. So, we need to figure out a way to raise
the probability of our setup so the golden zone holds way more often and we get way more winning trades. To do this, I have created a five-step strategy that will make the Fibonacci tool work so good. And once you replicate this
strategy on your charts, you will instantly see why I made a video about start with the first step, which is finding a highinterest area. Now, there are multiple ways to find a highinterest area, but this is my favorite way of
higher time frame, like the 4hour or daily time frame. For this example, we'll be using the 4hour. Next, you're going to find a fair value gap. You can have bullish fair value gaps and bearish fair value gaps. A fair value gap is
simply a three candle formation where price moves up or down an insane amount, creating a huge candle. In this example, the price moved up so quickly that it didn't give sellers enough time to counteract the movement, creating an
imbalance in the market. Naturally, sellers will want to retest this zone. You can mark a fair value gap by simply marking the candle's top wick before the big move to the candle's lower wick after the big move. This zone is the
fair value gap itself. If you open up your chart, you will see these gaps everywhere. Oftent times, especially on higher time frames, price will retrace back down to this zone, fill the imbalance, and retrace back up to test
thinking like I'm thinking, we can use this to our advantage and profit solely from this idea. >> I am the chosen one. So what you want to do go on the 4hour time frame and simply find a highinterest zone or in other
words find a fair value gap. This is just an example but usually the gap will be somewhere in this area. While price comes down to this gap it'll normally do something that looks like this. Creating lower lows and lower highs. Brings us to
step number two of our five-step formula. Finding liquidity on a lower time frame. This is where price sweeps a low before entering our gap. Liquidity is basically just open orders in the market. Naturally, there will be a lot
of stop losses below these lows, which in return provides liquidity and we can take advantage of the losers in the market. Losers loser. area, you're going to go to the 30 minute time frame. Price should be
breaking a low to provide liquidity before entering into our highinterest zone. Something like this where price breaks this low before entering into our zone. Once it does that, it should hit our high interest zone. And we move to
step three, which is finding a change of character. We want to confirm that our high interest zone is strong. And the best way to do that is we want price to bounce exactly at our zone and then break the previous high. This will give
us our change of character and confirms that our high interest zone is valid and bullish momentum is starting to occur. Once we get that, we move to step number Fibonacci tool. You're going to mark
the high of where the change of character is. This will mark out our Fibonacci sequence, but even more importantly, it'll mark our golden zone, which gives us the most optimal area for a potential reversal. We want to wait
for price to come back down to our golden zone, and then we move to the final step, which is entering the trade. Once price hits our golden zone, we can set our stop loss and take profit. What I like to do is enter right at the 71%
level, set my stop loss below the most recent low, and set my takerit at the top of the range. Now, this is the beginner way of doing things. I do have a secret trick where we can optimize our take-profit even more to get better
takerit levels and increase our risk-to-reward, but we'll get to that in a little bit. Let's do an actual real life chart example using this strategy. So, first things first, first go to the 4hour time frame. We want to find an
uptrend. Something that looks like this. During this uptrend, there should be a high interest area or a fair value gap here. There's a beautiful fair value gap right here. So, we'll mark it on our chart. Next, move to a smaller time
this. As you can see, we have a fair time frame. As price comes down, it creates a nice liquidity point right here. Price breaks this liquidity and enters into our gap. When price is in
previous high, giving a change of character. Let's see what it does. It does end up breaking the high, confirming that our fair value gap from the 4hour time frame is strong. Once this happens, grab your Fibonacci tool,
mark from the low where it swept the liquidity to the high that created the change of character. This will mark our golden zone, where we want price to retrace to. You're going to want to enter as soon as price reaches our
high of where the change of character happened and set your stop loss below the low of where it bounced at the fair value gap. And just like we expected, it bounced perfectly at our golden zone and hit our takerit. That's the power of
this strategy. I really want you to notice how price bounced exactly when it hit our golden zone. That's the power of this Fibonacci tool. Let's do one more example so you really get a feel for this strategy. We go on the 4hour time
frame. First, find an uptrend, then find a fair value gap in that uptrend. Once frame. As price starts coming down to our gap, it creates this low or in other words, our liquidity before the gap. Price ends up grabbing this liquidity
before entering our gap. Then it enters our gap. Next, we want to see a change of character to prove our gap is strong and will hold, which is exactly what happens by price breaking this high. Once that happens, we grab our Fibonacci
value gap to the high of where the change of character is. This will provide us with our golden zone. Wait for price to come to our golden zone. Set your takeprofit at the high. Set your stop loss below the low. Boom. We
got another winning trade. And again, notice how price bounced exactly when it hit our golden zone. God, I love this Fibonacci tool. It might be my new want you to notice, if we go back to our example, you can see our takerit and
stop-loss. In this specific example, we only had a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio, which is good, but it's not great. Do you want to see my secret trick on how I improve my risk-to-reward with this specific strategy, so we get huge wins
