    <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>I use Fibonacci numbers for all

    coming close to a Gann 90, and being nearly 1/2 of the 160-180 cycle that I 
    have found the stocks I follow to have. I found this by doing alot of

Re: Value depends on where you start it.

It thought that was true also, but Achelis doesn't indicate that and
in fact gives bullish and bearish levels (-1300,+1600) which would
imply that it is independent of starting location.   Also, CNBC and a
couple of websites don't show the curve, just the numbers which seems
very bogus to me.  Can anyone clarify?

Ultimately, I agree that the curve is what's important.  Just trying
to get a full understanding of things.
