  * Golden Ration:
    * The beauty of these numbers is a certain ratio, called the golden ratio.
    * If we take any two successive numbers in the sequence, their ratio (X­n / X­n-1) gets closer to 1.618 which is what we call the golden ratio:
    * 3/2 = 1.5
    * 13/8 = 1.666
    * 55/34 = 1.61764
    * 233/144 = 1.161805
    * 317811/196418 = 1.161803

  Find the rest of the significant ratios useful to us in trading.
  They are all variations of 1.618 and its reciprocal 0.618.
  Notice how the reciprocal of 1.618 is simply 0.618.
  A reciprocal is when you divide 1 by the number.
  The below table summarizes the rest of the ratios and how we got them:

^Ratio^Calculation^
|2.240|1.1618 + 0.618|
|1.1618|Fibonacci Golden Ratio|
|1.130|1/0.886|
|0.886|sqrt(sqrt(0.618))|
|0.786|(sqrt(0.618)
|0.618|Reciprocal of Fibonacci Golden Ratio|
|0.500|Simply Half of an observation|
|0.382|(0.618)^2|
