By you drawing your fibs backwards, you're not on the right % when making your decision. The other thing is that no one knows when the top or bottom is reached.

When you draw your fib grid properly, the 61.8% retrace up is your target (give or take) for you to go short in a down trend, not the 23 or 38 (except on your grid it actually is... but ....it won't make sense in the overall concept of fib retracement.)
