retracements

I'm working on a short term system.  The system picked the previous Intel
bottom, which I bought and turned a nice profit in 3 days.  The next bottom,
the system signalled another Intel buy.  I bought and that's when Intel gapped
down and the rest is history.  I was stopped out.  However, when I was looking
at that second trade, I did worry about the fact that the low was very close
to the previous low.  It did qualify as a "higher low"... but just barely.  I
believe the retracement was too far to be a healthy sign.  Therefore I want to
add a filter to this system that checks to make sure that the current low is a
certain percentage (a still-healthy) percentage above the previous low.  I'm
going to use the MRO function.  My question is, does anyone know off hand what
the FIB retracement should be?  Thanks!
