Higher-Timeframe Fibonacci Levels with Lookback High-Low Signals
Summary
This strategy derives Fibonacci levels from the open and range of a selected higher-timeframe candle, with an option to use the current or last completed candle. It compares the closing price with the 50% retracement level and with prior lookback lows and highs. A long signal occurs above both the recent-low reference and the midpoint; a short signal occurs below both the recent-high reference and the midpoint. The lookback lengths and retracement levels are configurable.
The document publishes a daily BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration spanning 2019 to 2024, but supplies no results or performance analysis. It explains the signal construction and plots the reference levels, rather than demonstrating that the system has an edge.
The stated limitations include false signals in ranging markets, lag from lookback data, and sensitivity to parameter choices. The document suggests volatility or trend filters and stronger risk controls as possible additions, but these are proposals rather than tested components. Because levels can use the unfinished higher-timeframe candle, the choice between current and last candle may also affect how stable the references are.
Key ideas
- Fibonacci reference levels are calculated from the open and high-low range of a higher-timeframe candle.
- The default midpoint is used with recent lookback lows for long signals and highs for short signals.
- Users can select current or completed higher-timeframe data and adjust lookback periods and retracement levels.
- The published daily futures configuration includes no performance results, so it does not establish profitability.
- The source identifies ranging conditions, lag, and parameter sensitivity as risks.
