Anchor one clear swing
Choose a completed impulse with an obvious origin and end. For a pullback, confirm that the retracement percentages measure back through that move. Reverse the drawing when the orientation is wrong.
MEASURE THE PULLBACK
Fibonacci Trading: The 0.618–0.65 Golden Pocket
Fibonacci levels measure where a pullback sits inside a completed price swing. They identify areas to study, not automatic entries. The quality of the swing and the surrounding market structure matter more than the drawing tool itself.

HPT highlights the 0.618–0.65 area because markets often retrace into a zone rather than one perfect price. Look for support or resistance, volume, trend and price response at the same location.
Wait for evidence
A level is not an entry. Define the candle, reclaim, rejection or lower-timeframe structure that confirms the idea, then place invalidation beyond the structure that made the setup valid.
