About the Fibonacci Bands Indicator
The Fibonacci Bands indicator for MT4 is a specialized variation of traditional Fibonacci tools designed to display dynamic support and resistance zones directly on the price chart.
Instead of relying on static retracement levels, it plots multiple Fibonacci-based bands that adapt to current market conditions.
The indicator consists of a blue center line surrounded by upper and lower Fibonacci bands.
Bands plotted above the center line act as resistance areas, while bands below function as support zones.
This layout allows traders to gauge both trend direction and potential reaction areas at the same time.
Trading with Fibonacci Bands is conceptually similar to using Bollinger Bands.
The slope of the bands plays a key role.
When the bands slope upward, bullish pressure dominates.
When the bands slope downward, bearish pressure takes control.

Key Features
- Plots adaptive Fibonacci support and resistance bands on the chart.
- Uses a central reference line to define market balance.
- Highlights trend direction through band slope.
- Works similarly to volatility band-based strategies.

Indicator Chart
The Fibonacci Bands indicator chart shows price moving within a series of Fibonacci-based bands around a blue center line.
Upper bands highlight resistance areas, while lower bands mark support zones.
The visual slope of the bands helps traders identify bullish or bearish market conditions.
Guide to Trade with the Fibonacci Bands Indicator
Buy Rules
- Confirm the Fibonacci Bands are sloping upward.
- Wait for the price to trade below the blue center line.
- Look for bullish price reaction near the lower bands.
- Enter a buy trade once price stabilizes in line with the trend.
Sell Rules
- Confirm the Fibonacci Bands are sloping downward.
- Wait for the price to trade above the blue center line.
- Look for bearish price reaction near the upper bands.
- Enter a sell trade once price weakens in line with the trend.
Stop Loss
- For buy trades, set the stop loss below the lower thick LightSeaGreen support band.
- For sell trades, place the stop loss above the upper thick LightSeaGreen resistance band.
- Keep the stop aligned with the current band spacing.
Take Profit
- Close buy trades when price reaches the upper Fibonacci bands.
- Close sell trades when price reaches the lower Fibonacci bands.
- Alternatively, exit when the band slope begins to flatten.
Fibonacci Bands + Sibbet Demand Index Forex MT4 Strategy
This MT4 strategy combines the trend direction of the Fibonacci Bands indicator and the momentum signals of the Sibbet Demand Index Divergence indicator.
The Fibonacci Bands show market bias through the slope of the bands.
When the bands slope upward, the environment is bullish, and when they slope downward, the bias is bearish.
The Sibbet Demand Index adds momentum confirmation with green histogram bars above the zero line for buy signals and red bars below zero for sell signals.
This strategy suits short to medium term traders working on M15, M30 or H1 charts who prefer clear trend alignment combined with reliable momentum confirmation.
Buy Entry Rules
- The Fibonacci Bands slope upward.
- The Sibbet Demand Index shows green histogram bars above zero.
- Wait for a retracement toward the middle band before entering.
- Enter a buy trade when a bullish candle closes with momentum still green.
- Place a stop loss below the lower band or the nearest swing low.
- Take profit at the upper band or use a fixed reward to risk target.
Sell Entry Rules
- The Fibonacci Bands slope downward.
- The Sibbet Demand Index prints red histogram bars below zero.
- Wait for a pullback toward the middle band before entering.
- Enter a sell trade when a bearish candle closes with momentum still red.
- Set stop loss above the upper band or above the recent swing high.
- Take profit at the lower band or apply a fixed reward to risk target.
Advantages
- Easy to follow because trend and momentum must align before entering.
- Fibonacci Bands offer dynamic support and resistance zones.
- Reduces countertrend trades because slope determines the direction.
- Works on most major and cross pairs with clean swings.
Drawbacks
- Weak in ranging markets where the bands flatten out.
- Momentum may shift unexpectedly, creating early exits.
- Pullback entries may be missed when the trend is very strong.
- Low volatility periods can produce small profits.
Example Case Study 1 (NZDUSD H1)
NZDUSD formed a clear uptrend on the H1 timeframe.
The Fibonacci Bands sloped steadily upward and the Sibbet Demand Index printed green bars above zero.
After a pullback touched the middle band, momentum stayed green and a buy position was triggered.
Stop loss was placed under the lower band.
Price continued to rise for several candles and reached the upper band, giving a clean profit on a trend continuation move.
Example Case Study 2 (GBPJPY M30)
On GBPJPY, the Fibonacci Bands sloped downward during a bearish session.
The Sibbet Demand Index printed red bars below zero as price retraced upward into the middle band zone.
A bearish candle closed with momentum still red, triggering a sell entry.
The pair dropped strongly and reached the lower band, hitting the take profit target with solid downside movement.
Strategy Tips
Use these additional tips to improve consistency and manage risk more efficiently when combining Fibonacci Bands with the Sibbet Demand Index Divergence indicator.
- Focus on the direction of the Fibonacci Bands during volatile sessions, since rapid expansion of the bands often signals strong directional continuation after a divergence signal appears.
- Avoid entering trades when the Sibbet Demand Index flips above and below the zero level within a few candles, because this usually indicates low liquidity or choppy conditions that reduce accuracy.
- When price pulls back to the middle Fibonacci Band, wait for the Sibbet histogram to return to the same color as the main trend before entering. This reduces false entries and helps align with momentum.
- Use the higher time frame Fibonacci Band slope as a primary filter, especially when scalping on M5. A bullish slope on H1 while the Sibbet Index prints red on M5 usually signals a temporary pullback instead of a trend reversal.
- During news events, let the first candle after the release fully form above or below the Fibonacci Bands before acting on any Sibbet signals. This prevents reacting to noise and keeps entries more accurate.
- When the Sibbet histogram shows strong momentum on multiple previous bars, take profit sooner at minor support or resistance levels instead of aiming for large moves.
- Avoid short trades if price repeatedly rejects the lower Fibonacci Band, because these rejections often signal exhaustion and may lead to bullish reversals despite bearish Sibbet signals.
- Record each trade and compare how often the Fibonacci Band slope agrees with the Sibbet signal. This helps refine which conditions offer the highest probability.

FAQ
How is this indicator different from standard Fibonacci retracements?
Standard Fibonacci tools use fixed swing points, while Fibonacci Bands adjust continuously with price.
This creates dynamic support and resistance zones that evolve with the market.
Which timeframe works best with Fibonacci Bands?
The indicator performs well on intraday and swing timeframes.
M15, H1, and H4 charts are commonly used for trend-following setups.
Can Fibonacci Bands be traded like Bollinger Bands?
Yes, the logic is similar.
Traders focus on band slope, pullbacks toward the center line, and reactions near outer bands.
Does the indicator work in ranging markets?
It performs best in trending conditions.
Flat markets may cause frequent band overlap and reduce trade quality.
Summary
The Fibonacci Bands indicator for MT4 offers a structured way to trade trends using adaptive Fibonacci-based support and resistance zones.
Its band layout helps traders visualize both direction and key reaction areas.
This indicator fits traders who prefer trend-following strategies and pullback entries rather than aggressive countertrend trades.
The familiar band-style behavior makes it easy to integrate into existing workflows.
