Don't worry, you'll be busy in an hour or so I'm just doing my end of quarter accounts and paying bills

What your broker said contradicts itself to a certain extent, at best it's misleading. I've found on Eur/Usd and Swissy 50% is usual, on Cable it's 50 and 61.8, on 4hr charts it seems to be mainly 50%. 38.2% can also be significant, if price comes off there it usually indicates a strong trend.....but then as you know, nothing is set in stone! A lot of the time it's the price action surrounding those levels that hint at where it's headed.

That's my take on it anyway, others may disagree.
