Chart Patterns
Fibonacci Retracement Pullback Entry
Draw a grid between a swing high and a swing low, then wait for the pullback to reach one of the standard levels. The question this page actually tests is which level really gets touched.
Drag the anchors, then run the pullbacks
Drag either gold handle left or right and it snaps to that bar's real high or low, redrawing the retracement grid instantly between the two. Pick one level below to place a hypothetical limit entry, then run batches of simulated pullbacks off the current swing. Each trial is a real stochastic walk down from the high, and the leaderboard tallies the deepest fib level every trial actually reached before it reversed.
Drag the swing-high or swing-low handle to reposition the grid.
Pick a level and run a batch to see your personal fill rate.
How it works
- The grid needs two real anchor points. A swing high and a swing low, both taken from actual bars in the data, not picked freehand off a blank chart.
- The five levels are a fixed set of ratios. 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6% of the distance between the two anchors, measured back from the high toward the low.
- Dragging either handle recomputes every level instantly. Move the swing high or the swing low and the whole grid redraws off the new real prices, there's no separate "recalculate" step.
- Each simulated pullback is a real random walk, not a scripted bounce. The chance of continuing lower shrinks the deeper the pullback already went, which is what makes the deepest levels naturally rarer to reach.
- The leaderboard is built from outcomes, not from the ratios themselves. 61.8% being called the "golden" level doesn't make it the most-tagged level in this tool's own data, run enough trials and you can check that directly.
Where this breaks
Fib levels are a place to watch, not a guarantee of support
Every level on this grid is just arithmetic between two prices someone chose to call a swing high and a swing low. Two traders drawing the grid off slightly different anchor points will get different levels for the same move, and this tool's own draggable handles make that ambiguity obvious rather than hiding it. The leaderboard above should also make it clear that no single level dominates by an overwhelming margin, and a meaningful share of pullbacks either reverse before reaching the shallowest level at all or blow straight through the deepest one and break the swing low entirely. Placing a limit order at any one level and assuming it will hold, the "golden ratio" framing included, treats a common tendency in the data as a rule the market is obligated to follow.
