Brent,

Whatever works for you is great, you seem to be using fib
expansions.. I use fib retracement to sell the rallies
(go short) or to buy dips (long). Fib expansions for
profit-objectives..

The picture you sent is too confusing for me, too many
lines over-printed. I use a software package designed
specifically to avoid that problem. As a short-cut
I might to a fib retracement in Metastock or TradeStation,
but when you try to do fibs for multiple time-frames,
it looks messy like the chart you uploaded.

Using fibs of multiple time-frames is key for me. For
example, when a support/resistance zone from a
Weekly and a Monthly chart is also near a 60-minute
FibNode, I have extra confidence.. Doing that with the
wrong charting tools gets me all messed up..
