Fibonacci Rays is a first tool in a group that is based on Fibonacci sequence. It is a bunch of rays coming from the initial point (high/low) on the chart.
Every ray is stretched across the chart at a fixed distance in between, which is corresponded to the Fibonacci sequence. The distance is expressed in price values. There is a basic ray (trendline) that goes through the center. All the other rays represent additional levels of standard deviations away from the trendline. The main idea of the tool is to help identify how the rays affect the trend: they can halt or activate it.

Fibonacci Rays are drawn by two extreme points that make up a trendline. To add Fibonacci Rays to the chart, click its name or the iconfibonacci_rays_iconon the Drawings Panel. Specify an initial point on the chart (high/low) to start drawing a trendline, then specify the second point to place the rays.

Note: To cancel drawing, press ESC
