Re: Fibonacci spiral numbers

Hi Nicholas

Whether the numbers are "Fib", Gann, or whether numbers, they have
importance to me for two basic reasons.

Either a) I use them in my indicators or b) others use them in their
indicators and analysis.

Because traders and investors like "numbers" so much, I personally watch
them to stay out of other traders way. I prefer the business of back-water
trading rather than the volatility and chop of hot money and popular
indicators.

The key question as a businessman is "how are you going to make money with
whatever numbers that you choose"? What's the "edge" that you can grind out
every week. What market inefficiency are you going to exploit?

Best regards

Walter
