My understanding of Fibonacci numbers, as based on his work, would not
include 14 or 91, but are specific set numbers.
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, etc.
I choose a fib number for my periods to bring about standardization in the
process. While I might vary the chosen periods according to the cycle I
choose to follow, the use of fib numbers denote my belief there is something
of nature in those numbers.

Is there magic in the numbers or the golden mean? I am not sure, but why not
keep everything on your side. The use of Fib retracements and extensions
(ratios) certainly plays a role in each of my trades and in Ewave theory.
