Wow - I'm impressed with level of research going into this. There are three elements to how Bobi described his Abonacci trading based on his predeterminatino theory. 1. A formula to calculate a baseline. 2. Different length templates for nearer or longer term views. There is 103, 220, 680, 594, 965, 1030 to name 6 out of over 60) and each of those can be multiplied by 10, 100 and 1000 - that makes alot of template. 3. Rules - each template has different behaviors and therefore trading rules. I don't think anyone is likely to actually work out Bobi's...

I have discovered a very simple formula to obtain a baseline of guarantees.
We take the maximum and the minimum of 2013, in the EU

Maximum: 1.38924
Minimum: 1.27438
Difference: 1148

We applied the 23.6 fibo value: 271
This value we add to the opening price of 2014
2014 Opening price: 271 + 1.32633: 1.35343

The 2014 base line for the template 103 is 1.35343
Result:

Hey Hollowhead,

First and foremost, thanks for posting this system. It's made chart reading even more fun and it works.

However, my biggest gripe is changing the base line figure every-time I open a new graph for a different pair.

Has anyone got any ideas to make this process a bit more streamlined?

Anyway, thanks again

Hi Aussie - I guess the only thing to do is create the charts once and then save them as a profile.

I have been testing aboonacci (Murrey math baseline) and i have finally come up with good wining after filtering signals using divergence and adx.

So far, i have won 9 trades in a row !! YAY!

I made profit even in range market by adjusting length.

Risk to reward ratio is over 1:1.. Its damn good!


I am trading short term and using three templates. For eg. 78,156, 624 length for GBPJPY.

Guys, just develop a bias from bigger length chart and take action on smaller one.

I am sure you too will discover how well this works!

Murrey maths is more than perfect for finding baseline. Just look how well the price respects its support and resistance lines made by murrey.

Thank you so much, Steve!!

Also, I wanted to add that I am looking at abonacci levels as a key point where price will continue to go down or up from 0, 23.6 and 76.4.

I am not completely relying of abonacci levels. I am using it as tool and confirming it with weak signals (Divergence and adx trend).

I know some people will hate me for using adx and divergence as part of this strategy. But this is what is working for me.

In short, right now my strategy is abonacci levels (multi-timeframe), divergence(weak confirmation) and adx (weak confirmation).


This combination has given me perfect results.

MMPeriod =1440 is the setting used to set up your Murrey Chart on a daily timeframe. 1440 minutes per day. If you want to set up a 4 hour chart then MMPeriod = 240. All signals can be taken off the daily chart since a level is a level whether viewed on a daily bar or a four (hour) candle stick.

Hi mate,

have you thought about 50% of those 256 trading days? That would eliminate subjective baseline setting. Since the Baseline is always the same, say 50% you could compare price behaviour in context of market sentiment and orderflow. So the question that it could be an error of calculation is avoidable. Last but not least, congrats nice thread

I agree. I think the MTF presents an additional complexity and I am not sure what it adds - a price level is the same whatever TF you are looking at the charts with. I would suggest that if someone wants to trade abonacci/MM Levels on shorter timeframes, then they can set the MM levels to reflect that TF and a desired period back and then set Abonacci levels accordingly.

When I first starting trading Bobi's system I loved that the larger templates gave me a bias. However, recently it has become less clear - on EU and GU there are larger template targets both long and short that are hundreds of pips apart. If you are to only trade with the larger template bias you would now be stuck. As we know, there are trends within trends and while spotting a trend is very easy when looking at a single chart, when you introduce higher TF charts things become less clear and traders end up in analysis paralysis. They inevitably enter trades without conviction or confidence, which leads to cutting profits too soon and leaving losses to run - the recipe for a dwindling account.

So, I lean towards a system that trades what I see on my chart, if it loses - that's fine, I either hedge or take the loss - either way is fine because my edge and RR means I'm good for the long-term. So, we each decide which TF we personally want to trade on? 15m? 1hr? 4hr? Daily? Weekly? Calculate the MM levels for that TF and a historical period. Take the baseline and insert abonacci levels and then trade a set of (tested) rules? For me, 4h and Daily is where I am most comfortable and where I think MM levels and Abonacci are strongest.

I'm wondering whether we will fall in the un-unique FF trap of making something simple, complicated.

Please don't take this as a negative or wanting to stop discussion, but I would encourage the pursuit of simplicity. I have said previously setting a baseline and length is only part of the method - trade management/discipline is what makes a good system profit.

Just musing...

Thanks alot hollow, of course I try. Since im not into abonacci or MM, forgive me any misconception here, just try to help according to numbers.

Well for example G/J:
I dont know whether you take the last year or a year back off today. With 50% I mean simply ((H+L)/2) or (1/2)*(H+L) which is the 50% level to use as baseline.
So the last year high and low are: 174.51 & 137.83
To put it into the equation: ( (174.51 + 137.83) / 2 ) = 156.17

So the baseline would be 156.17 or 156.25 (rounded)

Am still reading some posts, maybe I come up with some ideas for your lenght.

It isnt important if you use exactly the 50% or something else, more important to take away subjective settings to put price behaviour into context of market sentiment according to your MM levels. So you can recognize how price behave on those level at any given market phase, up, down, rangebound.

Add: through the high and low you can also get a range (H-L) and maybe you can extract the length from it. That would be based on volatility & range then. I wonder how your levels look like then

Ah ok, I see what your saying - thanks for explaining. I did consider whether to test using the Annual Pivot, but the thing MM levels and Abonacci both do is create phases or rooms. So, matching the two methods to work together seems to make sense to me. Murrey and Gann can provide the baseline, and Bobi Abonacci can give me a template to trade - all I have to do is work out and trade the patterns of how price tends to respond to the levels. Simple in concept... in practice? Well that's the trading journey isn't it. Anyway, I'm deeply respectful of your experience, trading ability and willingness to share.
