        Article summary

        Fibonacci Spiral is derived from the Golden Spiral concept: the spiral is inscribed into squares each side of which is based on Fibonacci-number. It's believed that the spiral coils intersect significant price points on the chart. Fibonacci Spiral is drawn by two extreme points that make up a trendline. 

        To add Fibonacci Spiral to the chart, click its name or the iconfibonacci_spiralon the Drawings Panel. Specify first point on the chart to start drawing a trendline, then specify the second point to place the spiral.
