Hi,
 
All you wrote is true but only when you treat upward and 
downward movements differently.
As I wrote before not every program does it. Anyway I 
have got the idea how to
fit everybody's requirements in the next release 
:-)
 
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Retracement

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 retracementof 
22.9 to 52.9 is also a 38.2% retracement.  The retracement scale should 
reflect this fact.

Hi,That is strange but Metastock worked thatway 
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 regards,Tomasz
