When trading, I always pay attention to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, which is a strong level where trends most often resume. But here, it's important to correctly determine the trend direction and look for corrections within it.
I use Fibonacci in my HFM MT5 charts mostly as a confluence tool, not as a reason to enter by itself. The 50 and 61.8 areas become much more useful when they align with market structure and a clear trend continuation setup. Without that context, fib levels can feel too subjective from one trader to another
When trading Fibonacci retracements, it's also best not to simply enter by touching the line. Look for additional signals at the chosen level: candlestick patterns, sloping trend lines, or indicator readings. This will make the signal stronger.
I also stopped using Fibonacci as a direct entry signal after taking too many early trades. Now I only trust the 50 and 61.8 zones when they match structure, trend direction and some clear candle reaction
I tested this extensively on HFM, Fibonacci works better as confluence than as a standalone signal. The 50–61.8 area can be useful, but only if it lines up with trend direction, structure, and some actual price reaction. Otherwise it’s just drawing levels and hoping price respects them
