Fibonacci retracement is the percentage retracement 
of the previous move.  It is not a question of personal 
preference.  A move from 30 to 90 and then a retracement of 22.9 to 67.1 is 
a 38.2% retracement.  A move from 90 to 30 and then a retracement of 22.9 
to 52.9 is also a 38.2% retracement.  The retracement scale should reflect 
this fact.

Retracement
Hi,That is strange but Metastock worked that way in 
version 6.5. But withthe newest version (7) it marks highest level always 
as 0% and scalegoes to 100% for the low (as AmiBroker works now).I had 
a dillema which version should I implement in AmiBroker.To All: do you 
prefer one way over another? why? would you like to changecurrent 
behaviour of retracements in AmiBroker?BTW: The Fibonacci extensions 
(2.618 and 4.236 levels) will be addedanyway.Best
