Extension
Fibonaccihotkey XThree clicks — A, B, then C; levels project beyond C
Where a move might reach once it exceeds its old high — the A→B leg projected forward from the C pullback, at the classic ratios.
What it is
Three clicks: A and B mark a completed leg, C the pullback after it. The tool projects levels beyond C at multiples of the A→B move — 0.618×, 1×, 1.272×, 1.618×, 2.618× — with 1× ("the next leg equals the last one") the most-watched of them. Retracement measures the pullback; extension asks where the resumption could go.
How to draw it
Arm it (X), click the start of the leg (A), its end (B), then the pullback low (C). The measured path draws dashed; the projected levels run from C to the right edge, labelled with ratio and price.
Universal mechanics: every tool is single-shot (it disarms after each drawing — the pin beside ✏ Draw re-arms it in one click), Esc cancels mid-drawing, clicking a finished drawing selects it for the ✕ Remove chip, and drawings persist per symbol, anchored to their candles.
How to read it
Extensions are where "it made a new high, now what?" gets reference prices. The 1× projection is the trend behaving consistently; 1.618× is the strong-trend target; a move stalling short of 0.618× says the resumption is weak. As with all Fibonacci work, an extension level that coincides with independent structure carries more weight.
Using it on the wheel
Covered-call writers get the most from extensions: a call strike above the 1× projection leaves room for a normal continuation before the shares are called; a strike below it is priced to be exercised if the trend merely repeats itself. The blended-breakeven floor still governs Recovery Mode strikes — an extension never argues a strike below that floor.
For puts, an extension describes how far the crowd's target map extends overhead — context for whether a post-breakout name still has believers above it.
Like everything in this guide, these are descriptions of conditions and reference levels — context for your own decisions, not instructions to trade.
