MT5 Swing Strategy Using Fibonacci Candles Indicator

This swing trading strategy combines the Fibonacci Candles Indicator with the Ichimoku Alert Indicator to trade continuation moves on H1 and H4 charts.

The Fibonacci Candles highlight directional intent through colored candles.

Teal candles reflect bullish pressure, while magenta candles indicate bearish activity.

These candles help isolate momentum shifts within a broader trend.

The Ichimoku structure defines the dominant trend through the relationship between the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen.

When the Tenkan-sen stays above the Kijun-sen, the market maintains bullish momentum. When it moves below, bearish pressure dominates.

This setup focuses on swing continuation rather than early reversals.

It performs best on H1 and H4 charts where trends develop with structure and cleaner pullbacks.

Buy Entry Rules

  • Confirm that the red Tenkan-sen line is positioned above the blue Kijun-sen line, indicating an established bullish trend.
  • Wait for a teal candlestick from the Fibonacci Candles Indicator.
  • Enter a buy trade at the close of the signal candle.
  • Place the stop loss below the previous swing low or below the Kijun-sen line if it is closer to price.
  • Close the trade when a magenta candlestick appears because it signals emerging bearish pressure.
  • Alternative exit: close the trade when the Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen because the Ichimoku structure signals a shift in trend direction.

Sell Entry Rules

  • Confirm that the red Tenkan-sen line is positioned below the blue Kijun-sen line, indicating a bearish trend.
  • Wait for a magenta candlestick from the Fibonacci Candles Indicator.
  • Enter a sell trade at the close of the signal candle.
  • Place the stop loss above the previous swing high or above the Kijun-sen line if it is closer.
  • Close the trade when a teal candlestick appears because it signals buying pressure entering the market.
  • Alternative exit: close the trade when the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen because the Ichimoku structure signals a bullish shift.

Case Study 1

After a short pullback, a teal candlestick appeared from the Fibonacci Candles Indicator.

A buy trade was opened at candle close.

The stop loss was placed below the recent swing low formed during the pullback.

Two days later, a magenta candlestick appeared and the long trade was closed because the Fibonacci Candles Indicator signaled a shift toward bearish pressure.

Case Study 2

On NZDUSD H1, the Tenkan-sen stayed below the Kijun-sen, confirming bearish conditions.

A magenta candlestick appeared following a minor retracement.

A sell trade was opened at the close of the signal candle.
