A price cluster is the coincidence of at least three or more
Fibonacci price relationships within a relatively tight range.
These clusters identify potential key support and resistance
zones. If you take trades against these cluster zones with a
good “trigger” or “filter” (with the trend in mind), you can
greatly improve your trading results.
Symmetry by itself can also be used to create a “trade setup”.
It is similarity of swings in the same direction.
A two-step pattern is a variation of a price cluster trade.

Ratios and Price RelationshipsRatios used in the analysis: .382, .50, .618, .786, 1.00, 1.272 & 1.618
Confirming ratios: .236 and 2.618
With these ratios we run:Retracements of prior highs to lows or lows to highs
Using .382, .50, .618, .786 (.236)
Extensions of prior highs to lows or lows to highs
Using 1.272 and 1.618 (2.618)
Projections of prior high to low swings projected from a high OR
Projections of prior low to highs projected from a new low
Using 100% and 1.618 (2.618)
This work gives us our “SETUPS”
price clusters, symmetry and two-step patterns

For the highest probability setups, you want to focus on the trades in the
direction of the trend of the chart you are analyzing
These setups give you definition of RISK and TARGETS
Look at the pattern on the chart you are setting up
If it is bearish (lower lows and highs) set up the sell side
If it is bullish (higher highs and lows) set up the buy side
Once you have a setup, go to a lower time frame chart to look for an entry
trigger.
For example, for a setup on the 15 minute chart, go down to a 3 min chart, or
a 1 minute chart or a tick chart (233 tick, 144 tick or 89 tick)

Fibonacci Price RetracementsFor retracements, we are measuring prior low to high or high to low swings. Then
we multiply by the retracement ratios (.382, .50, .618 and .786). and either
subtract the result from the high (if running low to high swings for support) or
add the result to the low (if running high to low swings for resistance).

Fibonacci Price Extensions
Price extensions are essentially Retracements beyond 100%
We most often use 1.272 and 1.618 as extension levels.

Fibonacci Price Objectives
(Projections)
low
Fibonacci price objectives or “projections” are measured from 3 points or prior highs and
lows in a market. We typically use 1.00% and 1.618 for these projections.
