Fibonacci Channel is a channel with price levels inside that are plotted diagonally. The distance between the levels, as well as in the other Fibonacci drawings, is based on Fibonacci sequence. The channel is used to estimate support and resistance levels on the chart.

Fibonacci Channel is drawn by two points (two lows and a high). To add Fibonacci Channel to the chart, click its name or the iconfib_channelon the Drawings Panel. First, specify two low points on the chart to draw a trendline, then specify a high point to place the channel.

Note: To cancel drawing, press ESC
