Hello
    
     I read here about an EasyLanguage  Function to calculate the Fibonacci number 
      , and I am looking for many times to a function or indicator that calculate automatically the Fibonacci           numbers , because I think that Fibonacci numbers are fundamental to any analysis technique ; these               numbers are fundamental for a correct interpretation of any chart .
     Can You explain how is possible to write this  function ?

     Massimo

Peter,

The following is the frontend documentation from the Swing_Lee
function which is a part of the LOS indicator.


{********************************************************************

	Study		: Swing_Lee
	
	Last Edit	: 12/13/97

	Provided By	: Clyde Lee (c) 1997

	Notes:	Uses HighestHigh and LowestLow to determine Turning
		Points for Swing Analysis.
		Returns number of bars back to last swing point.
		Negative if low.  Positive if high.

********************************************************************}

The absolute value of the returned value from a call to this routine
is the number of bars back to the swing point.

With this information you can find the High or Low (if return is 
negative) price and date/time if desired.

If you did something like:

Return=SwingLee(xxx);	{xxx is number of days used in picking H/L}
AbsRet=AbsValue(Return);
If return>0 and return[1]<0 then begin
	TPHIGH=H[AbsRet]
	TPDIR=-1;
	.
	.
End
Else If return<0 and return[1]>0 then begin
	TPLOW=L[AbsRet]
	TPDIR=+1;
	.
	.
End

{ Then TPHIGH and TPLOW will contain the high and low values
you need for computing Fib values.  TPDIR will tell you
which (high or low) to base projections.
