Automatic Fibonacci Retracements with Manual Anchor Adjustment

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes a chart indicator that automatically draws Fibonacci retracement levels. It also provides controls for the line color, style, and width. Traders can adjust the calculated placement by dragging either endpoint of a red diagonal guide line, allowing them to reposition the retracement against the chart.

The placement returns to its automatic calculation when the chart period changes, so a manual adjustment may not persist across timeframes. The document gives no formula for identifying the anchor points, explanation of how retracement levels are calculated, trading rules for using them, or performance evidence. It is therefore a brief description of a charting tool rather than an evaluated trading method. Its practical value is in illustrating the indicator's display options and adjustment behavior; it does not establish that Fibonacci levels predict price movements or offer an independent trading edge.

Key ideas

  • The indicator automatically draws Fibonacci retracements on a chart.
  • Users can customize the retracement lines' color, style, and width.
  • Dragging either end of the red diagonal guide adjusts the calculated placement.
  • Changing the chart period resets the retracement to its automatic placement.
  • The document provides no trading rules or evidence of indicator performance.
