Fib retracement
Fibonacci2 points to clickDivides one move into ratios to see how far price has retraced it.
What it looks like
The numbered dots are where you click. Once drawn, you can grab those dots and move them.
How to draw it
Click the start and end of the move; horizontal lines appear at 0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786 and 1. The second click is the 0 level.
When to use it
The ratios have no force of their own — what matters is that many people watch the same ruler. Measuring a different swing moves every line.
