Writing the Wait Condition for a Fib Touch

Price arriving at 61.8% is not a signal. The wait condition decides whether you act.

Students often treat the first touch of a Fibonacci level as the trade. That habit ignores context: session, wick shape, and whether the larger swing still stands.

Wait condition examples

  • “Enter long only if H1 rejects 61.8% with a close back above 50% during London.”
  • “Short only after a second touch of 38.2% fails to make a higher high on M15.”

Vague phrases like “look for weakness” do not pass workshop review.

Abort rule

State what cancels the idea before entry and after. Example: “Abort if the Korea cash open gaps through 78.6% and holds for thirty minutes.” Without an abort, Fibonacci retracement planning collapses into hope.

Our template fits on a single sheet: swing name, ratios kept, confluence notes, wait, entry, stop, first reduce, abort. If you need a second page, you are probably managing too many instruments at once — bring three charts maximum to coaching.
