This lesson teaches students how to select clean swings and avoid over-measuring. If swing selection is poor, Fibonacci levels become confusing. Clean swings produce more useful structure and help identify proportional movement.
Students learn how zigzag analysis supports retracement, extension, PRZ, and continuation planning. It helps organize price behavior into readable legs and reactions.
The goal is not to force geometry onto every chart. The goal is to recognize when price has enough structure to make measurement useful.
1. Mark major swing highs and lows on one chart.
2. Apply Fibonacci only to the cleanest swing.
3. Explain why you selected those swing points.
- 1. What is zigzag analysis?
- 2. Why should traders avoid measuring every small move?
- 3. What is market geometry?
- 4. How does swing selection affect quality?
- 5. When should Fibonacci analysis be avoided?
