Fibonaccihotkey TTwo clicks — two turns; their span becomes one unit
The same Fibonacci ratios projected along the time axis — vertical lines at multiples of the span between two turns, marking when the next turn is often looked for.
What it is
Click two market turns and the span between them becomes one unit of time; the tool projects vertical lines forward at Fibonacci multiples of it — 0.382×, 0.618×, 1×, 1.618×, 2.618×. Price ratios ask how far; time ratios ask how long until.
How to draw it
Arm it (T), click the two turns that define the rhythm — the base of the span is marked with the bar count so "1×" means something specific. Projections land in the future by design, so they draw into the chart's right-hand projection space.
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
Time zones mark windows to pay attention in, not appointments the market keeps. A projected line landing where a price level is also being tested is the coincidence worth noticing — a turn needs a place and a time, and the two tools supply one each.
Using it on the wheel
Options sellers already trade the calendar, so a time tool speaks their language: a 1.618× projection landing inside the week of an expiry being considered is context for how much movement that week might see. Where a time zone lines up with a known catalyst date, the calendar is crowded — which is exactly what the earnings-buffer rules exist to describe.
Like everything in this guide, these are descriptions of conditions and reference levels — context for your own decisions, not instructions to trade.
