FiboLine

Description:

A group of horizontal line(s) used to indicate fibonacci retracement levels.

To create a FiboLine, select draw mode from the main toolbar and right click with the mouse on the chart you wish to apply it to. This can be either the main chart area or any of the indicators that appear in the indicator chart area. Select "New Chart Object" from the popup menu and select FiboLine from the menu.

After selecting the menu option, the mouse pointer will change to a hand pointer. The user must select the high and low points of the Fibonacci retracement levels.  The high point is requested first, and is selected by clicking the left mouse button on the chart. Once the high point is selected, the retracement levels will appear  and folow the mouse pointer and update dynamically. The the low point is selected the same as the high point.

• Low - The low point of the retracement range.
• Extend - Extend lines to end of the chart.
  
• Set Default - If checked, all settings will default to the current values when new ones are created.
• Line 1 to Line 6 - User defined retracement levels. eg. 1.0 = 100%, 0.5 = 50%. Set to zero if no line is wanted.

Ther user can adjust the high and low points by first left clicking on the top right grab box to adjust the high point or the lower left grab box to adjust the low point and then move the mouse pointer. Once a new spot is selected, left click the mouse to drop it.
