The forex (foreign exchange) market is the largest trading market in the world,estimated at 1.8 Trillion dollars daily; it dwarfs the next competitor,The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) by 2 to 1 in the dollar per day turnover stakes. It is the modern day warrior battlefield and from lone day traders to the largest investment institutions and probably your local main street bank, all are playing this 24 hour, 5 day a week market and many are using the mathematical formula's of a long dead Italian mathematician called Leonardo Pisano, (c. 1170 - Pisa, 1250), nicknamed Fibonacci to improve their profits.
Leonardo Fibonacci became a world renowned mathematician at the age of 32 publishing a book called Liber Abaci, or Book of Calculation. Amongst other things this book outlined the Fibonacci number sequence, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144. etc, which was originally introduced to solve a problem in relation to the growth of a population of rabbits.
Of major importance to this sequence of numbers where every next number is the sum of the proceeding two, 0, 1 (0+1), 2 (1+1), 3 (2+1), 5 (3+2), 8 (5+3), 13 (8+5), etc is the \"Fibonacci ratios\", derived from comparing the relationship between each number and each alternate number, and even each number to the one four places to the right. By doing this we arrive at some fairly consistent ratios. The important ones are .236, 50, .382, .618, .764, 1.382, 1.618, 2.618, and 4.236
It turns out that the ratios are mathematical principles prevalent in nature around us, and is also in man-made objects. Fibonacci numbers appear in ancient buildings, in plants, planets, molecules, the dimensions of human bodies, and of course foreign exchange price charts.
Serious Foreign exchange traders use these ratios daily in there trading to gauge price support levels and plot profit target objectives. Trading millions of dollars a day with the aid of this ancient mathematical formula
