They aid in the charting of curves, rectangles and triangles through which the forecasting of the forex market is done.

Contributions

The important contribution of Fibonacci in the number theory is one of the most important incorporations in the domain of arithmetic and calculations. He conferred the following benefits.

1. Implementation of square root notation.
2. Introduction of bars in the fractions. Earlier, the numerator used to have quotations around it.

Later it was discovered that the Fibonacci numbers and the respective series were not only limited to the arithmetic but it also played a pivotal role in economics, commerce and trading sectors too.

Fibonacci Forex trading

The concept of Fibonacci forex trading has been used by millions of forex traders all around the world. These numbers forecast the coming oscillation in the forex charts. Though, at the same time, the prediction made cannot be proclaimed as flawless and straight hitting to the mark, the closeness it gets to is quite amazing. Thus, this has also led to the emergence of the Fibonacci price points. Thus, the Fibonacci levels are very elementary and fundamental concepts which need to be grasped before delving into the risky environment of forex trading.
