If you want to learn strategies with Fibonacci, this book is not it. Its just a book of charts of very little substance behind it.

I think some of the other reviewers are a bit harsh when considering this book. It presents a great trading methodology in and of itself. I was already familiar with fibonacci trading and trading convergences already but this book added a great deal to my trading knowledge. I use many of her methods and subscribe to Carolyn's free e-mails and have learned a lot from her. I use the lower level charts from hourly down to the 5 minute and this method works like a charm. Anyone wanting to learn the basics of fibonacci can easily learn it free doing searches on the internet. Add this book and it just gets better. I would like to have the dynamic trader software for the time aspect but still manage to use my charts from FXCM with her methods. This book will greatly add some sound methodology which will add tics or pips to any traders game. Most people do not understand nor want to hear trading is not easy, takes a great deal of pain and hard work to get right. After you learn the methods 90% of trading is self-mastery with 90% of the latter being patience. Having an ability to get up after repeatedly failing and falling flat on your face also helps. If you are looking for a get rich quick scheme, hitting home runs, doing minimal work, and have a low tolerance for frustration then good luck Pal because you are guaranteed to fail at trading...I highly recommend this book without reservation but honestly you owe it to yourself to learn as much about the market as you can because that is what it will take to succeed...that and endurance. Never Give UP!

This book has everything you need to get started in applying the Fibonacci method to futures and commodities trading analysis.But forex is My game I trade only the majors I get incredible results using the daily charts four hour and one hour; I'm still entry-level in trading and feared this would be over my head, but the charts and graphs are helpful and the tone is accessible. I've already read it twice and constantly refer back to it as I work. It takes a commitment (all of trading does), but I have already begun to experience true results where it counts with this guide. It has really refreshed my game

Traders reading this book should have a basic understanding of technical analysis and charting.

I am familiar with Carolyn's work and this book really does explain 95% of the trading methodology she uses in her trading room.

You do not need the software (Dynamic Trader) mentioned in the book to use her setups. It makes it more convenient (especially the time cycle setups) but any halfway decent trading platform makes it pretty easy to apply the techniques.

As with any trading technique, risk management and mental mastery are as important as the actual entry/exit strategies.

This book is NOT for the beginner. You have to have the basics of Fibonacci under your belt before you can even have a prayer that this book would be useful. No basics are explained whatsoever. I am returning it.

I agree with one person's opinion, this is not a beginners book. Though, if you have a little more than novice level of experience with technical analysis, then you can comprehend the analysis. I thought the examples were good and each topic had plenty of examples, even if you do not understand a topic after the first graph or two. I think she has a somewhat clear writing style....but some of the topics can be a little wordy. Moreover, I give this book three stars because of its price for one(69.95) and the sales pitch for two Dynamic Trading Software($1300.00). Also, along with the software, you need a subscription to eSignal $400 annual fee, Quote.com $400 annual fee...but wait....I think you get my point here. There are other books out on the market that address this Fibonacci Trading Analysis, but I will not give any of them free advertising. If you want to learn Fibonacci, yea it's ok, but I would not rely on just one trading method, would you?

This book has everything you need to get started in applying the Fibonacci method to futures and commodities trading analysis. I'm still entry-level in trading and feared this would be over my head, but the charts and graphs are helpful and the tone is accessible.

It has really refreshed my game.

To start off I would like nothing more than to take this golden nugget of a book and lock it up never to be seen by anyone except for me, but alas I feel it a duty to give an honest review on what I believe to be a great NEW take on fibonacci trading. I use the term NEW loosely, it's new to most traders because I've never found anyone who teaches what Carolyn covers in depth here, and I feel it offers more value than all the other fib systems that have been around for years.
I've had the pleasure of meeting the author at a seminar in Los Angeles back in Feb 08, and if I have ever seen anyone working their butt off putting their system to the test on a daily basis it was Carolyn(and no I dont work for her). It was simply amazing to see this method which I had not tried or heard about(I've been trading over 9years) of applying fibonacci levels overlapping each other to confirm setups for potential trades, symmetry setups and time and price confluence and cycles creating a robust set of tools for improving ones trading results. And her results were phenomenal, the prices would react like magnets on the charts she had clusters layed up on, I don't know how else to put it other than impressive! One of the great things about this book is that it's full of charts on almost every page, with a topic like this its nice to see plenty of visual elements to keep you focused on the material being taught, the writing is clear and concise and even though most people will doze off when reading trading books the information is to the point, enough to keep you awake and plugging away at it. Believe me financial books are the number one cure for insomniacs!!!!
I have to say in my opinion this book is not for a total newbie to trading, it would help if you've at least read one or two other books on trading(not investing) or chart reading, because this books is clearly focused on applying Fibonacci techniques to your trading, its not an intro book on how to trade. One thing to note, she is using a specialty program to draw her charts, thats not available on any trading platforms(I use TradeStation,Omnitrader) or charting websites. So if you want to draw it the way she has you many consider purchasing the program, it may be a good investment in your trading career, or you could always sign up to her Trading Room where she does all the work for you.
I truly believe using whats taught here is a great set of tools to add to any strategy or system to improve your probability of having winning trades, and I am glad she chose to share her knowledge and expertise to help more traders find success.!
