Yes, but why is the star of David superimposed on the Vitruvian man ? - Just curious =

Way beyond my understanding I'm afraid but the two triangles (blade and chalice) represent male and female, the circle round the naked man represents balance between male and female (the circle being the feminine symbol of protection), it's all to do with sacred geometry and the secret code which reveals how life and nature work.

If you're really into this stuff there's loads of info on the web, I read some of it and although it was interesting I didn't understand a lot of it.

Mystery still surrounds why Fibonacci levels 'work' in the markets, some argue it's a self fulfilling prophecy, others say it's nature.....me I don't know, all I know is it's significant practically everywhere you look, including forex.

Humans are subject to natural laws....gravity being one example...you don't have to be aware of it nor believe it, but step off a cliff and it will take over.....Natural law of Fibonacci is the same situation.......we as humans react to it whether we are aware of it or even if we don't believe it.......I believe the triangles are a demonstration of proportion and not anything to do with the star of David.....Good trading week to all and WS keep up the good work!

I think you'll find Newton discovered the law of gravity! Da Vinci's work was more to do with harmony I believe but I'm not sure.

I agree, that wasn't what I was saying.......my point is and was, Humans are subject to natural law...whether gravity or fibonacci.......the remark about the triangles was seperate from my example.......Bad typing on my part.....

Right, sorry, I was being facetious.

It's a fascinating subject for sure, it's ironic how in such a technologically advanced age we find meaning in what was discovered and written hundreds of years ago and apply it to the financial markets, I think that's why Fibonacci appeals to me and my romantic nature!

[golhuntsleep]

The cool part is that Technology that we enjoy today only continues to prove Leonardo De Pisa correct as we get deeper and deeper into how nature works........i.e. no way Fibonacci could have known that the measurement of a twist of dna would be 34X21.......or that the Galaxies and hurricanes would use the fibo spiral, It wil be fun to see what the future may unveil.....

Sorry, went way off topic!

Today saw +15

A Eur/Jpy short that was 1 pip away from the +30 target!

So, from last Thursday he's up +85, not too bad.

Bear in mind the market conditions of two of those three days.
