Fibonacci Retracement [AFD]
Fibonacci levels that find their own two points, and keep finding them.
THE PROBLEM WITH DRAWING THEM BY HAND
A retracement is two clicks and a judgement call. The judgement is the hard part - which high, which low, and whether the leg you just measured is one move or two glued together. Then the session rolls over and the answer changes, so you do it again.
This draws the grid from the chart's own data instead. You tell it which range matters and it finds the two points itself, every bar, forever. Come back after the open and it has already re-anchored to the new day.
PICKING THE RANGE
Four choices, and they are all self-maintaining.
Current Day is the default and it is the one most intraday traders want - today's high and low, re-anchoring at each session open. Previous Day is yesterday's, and it draws from yesterday's start rather than today's, so the geometry sits over the data it came from. Current Week is the same idea one period up.
Latest Swing is the interesting one. It takes the last confirmed swing high and low, and it insists they alternate.
That insistence matters more than it sounds. ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() are independent detectors, and a real chart prints two, three, four highs in a row with no qualifying low between them. Take the most recent of each and you get a "leg" whose high end is simply the latest high, not the highest one in the span - so the grid measures a move that never happened as a single push, and 0.618 lands somewhere with no relationship to anything. Here, a pivot on the same side as the last one replaces it only if it is more extreme, and a pivot on the opposite side starts the next leg. On clean impulses this changes nothing at all. On ragged ones it pulls the anchor back to the extreme the leg actually reached.
Swing Strength sets how many bars have to print either side of a pivot before it counts. Higher means fewer and more significant swings, and a longer wait.
WHICH WAY THE LEG RUNS
Fib Direction is Auto, Long or Short, and it is the one control that stays live no matter what else you switch off - because it governs both grids, not just the near one.
Auto works out the direction from the range you actually chose. It looks at the two extremes that range uses and puts 0.00 at whichever one printed later, on the reasoning that the more recent extreme is the one the move ended on. So on Current Day, a day that made its low at 10:15 and its high at 15:50 gets 0.00 at the high and a grid you read downwards. Force it with Long or Short when you disagree.
THE MINUS SIGN, AND WHY THE EXTENSIONS HAVE ONE
Everything on this chart is numbered from the leg end. 0.00 sits at the recent extreme that finished the move, 1.00 at the point it started from. That way the number you read is retracement depth, and it means the same thing whichever direction the leg ran.
The extensions continue that same line past 0.00, which is why they are negative. -0.618 sits 0.618 of the leg's range beyond the 0.00 line, in the direction the leg was travelling - exactly the way 0.618 sits 0.618 of the range on the other side of it. One ruler, and the sign tells you which side of the origin you are on.
If that looks unfamiliar, put TradingView's own Fib Retracement tool on the same two points. Its tags read the same: -0.618, not 1.618. The 1.618 reading belongs to the Trend-Based Fib Extension tool, which measures from the leg origin instead - a perfectly good convention, but putting both on one chart gives you two rulers running opposite directions from the same 1.00 line, and sooner or later you read the wrong one.
Six ratios are on offer - -0.272, -0.414, -0.618, -1.00, -1.618, -3.236 - and they ship switched off. They are levels, not targets. They are arithmetic on the leg. This script says nothing about whether price gets to one, marks no entry or exit, and has no alerts of any kind.
THE SECOND GRID
Switch on Show HTF Context and a second grid draws behind the first, anchored to the latest confirmed swing on a higher timeframe and dimmed so it stays context rather than competing for your attention. It ships off, so a fresh add gives you one clean grid.
HTF Mode is where this differs from most higher-timeframe overlays. Adaptive, the default, does not hold a fixed interval - it takes the next one up from whatever chart you are on. A 5-minute chart anchors to the 15-minute swing, a 1-hour chart to the 4-hour. Change timeframe and it follows you, and because it always resolves to something strictly higher, it cannot silently resolve to nothing.
Custom lets you name the timeframe instead, which is what you want when a specific one matters - the 4-hour swing while you scalp the 5, say. The catch is that it has to be strictly higher than the chart. Set Custom to 240 and drop to a 4-hour chart and the grid disappears with no warning label, because 240 is not higher than 240.
Both grids keep their own level checkboxes, line width, label size and text colour, so you can make the context layer as quiet as you like. The extension ratios are the exception: which ratios get drawn is shared by both grids, while which grids draw them is not. Each layer has its own extension toggle. The tooltips say which is which, because a control that looks global and is not is worse than one that plainly is.
THE SETTINGS ACTUALLY WORTH YOUR TIME
Most of the 63 inputs are the ordinary colour-and-width kind. These are the ones that change how the thing reads.
Color Mode defaults to Gradient, and it is doing real work. Each level takes its colour from its own ratio, so hue states depth - the shallow end and the deep end are different colours, and the 0.618-0.786 span reads as a region instead of two more identical lines. There are five presets plus Custom. Single Color reverts to one colour per grid if you prefer the classic look, and either way whatever transparency you pick in the colour picker is the transparency you get.
Enable Glow draws every level twice - a wide, near-transparent halo under a thin bright core. It costs nothing but line objects and it is the difference between a grid you can see on a busy chart and a set of hairlines you lose against the candles. Turn it off when the chart is crowded.
Fill Between Levels shades the intervals. OTE Band, the default, shades only 0.618-0.786. All Bands shades everything, Custom Bands lets you pick, and Off is off. The fills are independent of the line checkboxes, so you can shade a band whose boundary lines are hidden.
Highlight Golden Zone at Price is the one piece of reactive styling here. While the last close is between the 0.618 and 0.786 prices, that band draws more opaque and lifts off the chart. It creates nothing new - no box, no zone object, no centre line, no label - it just restyles the band the fill control already drew, and Highlight Strength sets by how much. It is arithmetic on two numbers already on your screen.
HTF Layer Dimming adds transparency to the whole context grid on top of whatever its colours already carry, which is how the second grid stays behind the first instead of doubling the clutter.
Extension Fade fades each extension a little further as it travels away from the leg, so the near ones read as more prominent than the far ones. It counts only the extensions you actually enabled, not their slot in the ladder - so if you turn on just the far ones, the nearest of them is still drawn at full strength rather than arriving pre-dimmed.
Ratio Label Format switches the tags between decimal and percent - 0.618 or 61.8%, minus signs intact either way. Show Price Labels adds the actual price beside each ratio; it is off by default because eight prices is a lot of text.
Line Extension Left/Right and Label Right Offset control how far the grid reaches and how far past it the tags sit. The defaults keep the tags in the empty margin, clear of both the candles and the price scale.
One last thing: any control that cannot do anything greys itself out. Switch the context grid off and its settings dim. Switch to Gradient and the single-colour pickers dim. There is no control in this script that looks live, takes a value, and quietly does nothing.
GETTING STARTED
*Add it. You get one grid on today's range, gradient-coloured, golden zone shaded.
*Want a different range? Anchor Range. Leave Fib Direction on Auto until it tells you something you disagree with.
*Want context from above? Show HTF Context, and leave HTF Mode on Adaptive unless a specific timeframe matters to you.
*Want the extensions? Turn them on for whichever grid you want them on, then pick your ratios.
*Too busy? Glow off, Fill Between Levels off. You are back to plain lines.
THINGS THAT WILL LOOK LIKE BUGS AND ARE NOT
*Swing anchors arrive late. A pivot is not a pivot until Swing Strength bars have printed after it, so on Latest Swing and on the context grid you are always looking at the last confirmed pivot, not the bar in front of you. When a newer one confirms, the anchor moves. That is the price of anchoring to something you can only recognise in hindsight, and it is the same trade every swing-based tool makes.
*The day and week ranges are live. Current Day and Current Week use the period's running high and low, so the grid re-scales when the session makes a new extreme. It is showing you the range as it stands, not a finished one.
*It draws one grid, not a history of them. You get the current grid, redrawn as things move. There is no trail of old ones behind you.
*Higher-timeframe data uses the documented confirmed-value form - the expression is offset by one bar and the request passes barmerge.lookahead_on. Together, that is the pattern the Pine Script documentation gives for reading a higher timeframe without pulling unclosed data into historical bars. The source is open, so you can read the call rather than take my word for it.
*Custom HTF at or below the chart timeframe draws nothing at all, and says nothing about it. Worth remembering before you conclude the context layer is broken.
*A 12-month chart draws no context grid. 12M is the top of TradingView's interval list, so Adaptive has nothing left to step up to. 3-month and 6-month charts both work.
*Prices come from standard OHLC via ticker.standard(), so your levels are the same on Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Line Break and Point and Figure as they are on candles. The synthetic geometry of those chart types can still put the lines somewhere you would not expect.
WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO
No alerts. No signals. No scores, ratings or probabilities. No zones, no nested zones, no centre line. It draws Fibonacci levels, labels them honestly, and stops. If you want something that tells you when to act, this is not it.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
Four self-maintaining ranges instead of a two-point drag you place today and replace tomorrow. Two independently configured grids on one continuous number line, with the higher one dimmed to sit behind rather than on top. Extensions numbered on the same ruler as the retracements, matching the tags TradingView's own tool gives those prices, rather than a second scale running the other way. A swing range that is genuinely one leg, because the pivot pair is kept alternating. And colour that carries information - a level's hue states its depth - instead of a palette applied to identical lines.
