Hi Lionel and everybody else,
Thanks for your responses.
Clarification of the Fibonacci Indicator
1. I would like to easily identify the different levels of the Fibonacci
lines (23.8%, 50% etc). Gives precise values.
2. When I use the Built in Fibonacci levels I did not find the way to "turn
it off" after specific date. By default it is Right extended, which makes
the charts overloaded with lines if I leave more than one set of Fibonacci
lines on the chart.
3. The Fibonacci Indicator helps me identify the Elliott waves in different
phases of the market. (I can use different zig-zag%)
4. I have not tried but I hope I can use it in system tests to setup exit
points or entry points depending on the retracement levels by adding the
specific variable name in the system tester.
Is there anything that is not sound from the above, because I use the
Zig-Zag indicator.
Any other idea is welcome.
Profitably,
***** Erika ***** :-)

Can you clarify what you are trying to do. I assume that the built-in
Fibonacci functions do not meet your needs.
