Way 1: Fibonacci Retracements
Draw it on a locked box
- Open a chart of your market. Set the chart to the box’s period (for a monthly box, a Month series) and note last month’s high and low.
- On the chart toolbar, open Drawing Tools (the pencil) and choose Fibonacci Retracements.
- Click on the high, then on the low.
Enter the ladder’s values
- Double-click the drawing to open its properties.
- Under Anchors (Start and End), type the box’s exact high and low as the two prices.
- Find Price levels and open its editor. Look at the default values: if they read like
23.6and61.8, use the Percent column from Start here; if they read like0.236, use the Ratio column. Remove the defaults and add the ladder’s levels: Beginner0,10,50,90,100; Advanced adds110,150,200,-10,-50,-100(in percent). - Turn on Extend lines right so the ladder runs across the chart.
- If the 100 line sits on the low, swap the two anchor prices.
