The indicator finds the maximum and minimum in the chart window and shows the Fibo levels.

Are you using a beta version viewtopic.php?f=30&t=57814?

I get the same error, and I am using the beta version.

No, I use regular version 01.12.060413. If this indicator created only to using in beta?
Alexander.Gettinger · Fri Aug 09, 2013 1:01 pm
Yes, this indicator requires the use beta version viewtopic.php?f=30&t=57814.

This is truly a great and extremely useful indicator! Huge time saver.
Can we please request the option of allowing the levels selected to be toggled on/off.
Thanks,
sjc

I second that, it is one of the most useful indicators I have come along!
Just one tiny thing is bothering me: Could the Fib percentages made a bit smaller so that they match the font size of the scale? Also, it would be great if there was an option which levels to show.
Thanks very much in advance, I truly appreciate your efforts!
Apprentice · Sat Oct 12, 2013 4:31 am
Level selector Added.
toxxum · Sat Oct 12, 2013 10:21 pm
Woa, terrific! Thanks a bunch!
Could you make the font smaller so it matches the font size of the scale and perhaps move the percentage labels to the left of the chart?
Apprentice · Tue Oct 15, 2013 1:37 am

Please test version with scaling, also label can now be turned off, moved to the left side.
toxxum · Tue Oct 22, 2013 6:18 am
Awesome!! Thank you very much!
mjf1288 · Tue Oct 22, 2013 9:24 am
There seems to be an issue with this. The fib levels are not corresponding to the lines. There seems to be a 40 pip difference.
Apprentice · Tue Oct 22, 2013 5:03 pm
Can you show this on example, in my testing I have NOT found discrepancies.

It doesn’t seem to be doing it now, but 2 days ago it was. I will try to reproduce the same, but it looks fine now.

Here is the issue I found, it seems to be doing it again.

U have to post the entire screen, with visible axes. As presented, can not have fix reference.
Lyka122 · Mon Oct 28, 2013 12:37 am

Love this indicator!
Was wondering if two extra levels could be added so user can add his own values, like 11.8 and 88.6 as shown on enclosed chart?
Apprentice · Mon Oct 28, 2013 3:05 am
Try this Version
speakinmymind · Mon Oct 28, 2013 9:23 am
can you please create a version of this that can be used on indicators and oscillators? thanks

Oh WOW! Thank your very much it fits in my style of trading!

speakinmymind, Tick Window_Fibo added. it can be applied to oscillator, simply select the appropriate location.
Lyka122 · Thu Oct 31, 2013 3:14 pm
Not sure if this the place I should post , but I would like to share something with the group.
As I said before I love this indicator, but ran into a problem when I simply entered a trade based on the indexing and color change of the grid only to find that it indexed again because there was a strong trend. What I have done to help me with that is I added theRSI_PK indicator with a setting of 5 period and with both overbought and oversold set at 50. What I do now is wait for a cross over and retest of the 50 level in conjunction with the indexing and color change of the Window-Fibo indicator as can be seen in the attached chart.
tjunjie1983 · Fri Dec 20, 2013 8:09 pm
Hi, Is there a way to remove the trendline drawn by the fib indicator?I mean on the default one too.Doesnt seems to be able to do so.
Apprentice · Sat Dec 21, 2013 7:37 am
Try Mon Oct 28, 2013 Version I just added this functionality.

Could you make the Window Fibo give out output streams, for each level? So it can be used within strategies

hi Apprentice,
WINDOW_FIBO WITH SCALING stategy please !
a strategy that retains this peculiarity to adapt to the windows of the graph to calculate the levels fibo is extraordinary and it will relieve me in clicks.
thanks!
Apprentice · Sun Jul 21, 2019 4:38 am
Can you define an entry/exit condition?
Gilles · Tue Jul 23, 2019 8:39 am
of course dear apprentice. for me, the resizing of the graphic window is extra.
As I said, I use Window-Fibo With Scaling indicator.
The signal is detected by the setting of the graphic window, which dynamically resizes.
Example, right now my chart is currently in m5 (6 hours) but I open a new position with each new m1 or t1 (trading-source).
Activate allowmultiple and close on opposite.
before starting trading, Allowtrade is false, I take my time to adjust the chart to determine the current trend. So, I choose my time unit and adjust my scale on the graph. Then I activate allotrade to open my first order in the direction of the fibo line.
If Up fibo color - open a BUY order with a Limit order set at 0.0% and the stop order at 100.0%.
If Dn fibo color - open a SELL order with a Limit order at 0.0% and the order stop at 100.0%.
When the bars disappear from the grpahic, the Source.high or Source.low are recalculated. The fibo line tells us whether the price is going up or down right now.
Thank you apprentice for your support.
As I am French I hope my English is understandable.
Apprentice · Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:06 am
I don’t think this strategy has any use. The only way to do this is to make a trading indicator. But this indicator changes its output based on chart scale. Any manipulation with the FXTS2 window will change its output and the trading may be random.
Gilles · Fri Jul 26, 2019 11:03 am
Apprentice, you’re absolutely right. However, I would like to use it to adapt my current strategy, which is based solely on price study, variation, deviations and other study and range detection. I would have liked to use the Window-Fibo-With-Scaling-Strategy.lua version as a support to adapt mine. My strategy uses no indicators, just 2 Time Frames and price study. To be more precise, I study the price over 100 periods. Among other things, I detect the highest price with mathex.max and the lowest with mathex.min. Then I set the typical price. To avoid signal noise, I use Source.open instead of Source.close in the formula. I also added many dynamic parameters (GrossPL, Quantity, number of positions, P/L by position type by questioning the tradetable and closed trades.
My first results are correct. As you know, we can always do better. I think I can make progress with Window-Fibo-With-Scaling-Strategy.lua.
If it’s possible for you.
Thank you apprentice for your support.
See you soon!
Apprentice · Sat Jul 27, 2019 7:17 am
Sure, it would be feasible if the fibo period is fixed, via parameter, for example.
Gilles · Sat Jul 27, 2019 7:49 am
Hi apprentice! Thank you for your response. So I suggest you set the number of periods at 100. Thank you very much.

Can an iteration of this indicator be developed utilizing the Fib Expansion tool?

I was wanting to see whether an indicator could be developed using the Fib Expansion rather than the Fib Retracement.
