The lines of a Fibonacci Channel used Fibonacci ratios determined by the Fibonacci series, typically 23.6 percent, 38.2 percent, 50 percent, 61.8 percent and 80.9 percent. They can be used to estimate support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci Channel is a practical
technique that uses Fibonacci ratios to draw out levels of support and
resistance, it is a variation of the Fibonacci retracement pattern, with
the trend lines running diagonally rather than horizontally. It can be
applied to both short-term and long-term trends, as well as to up and
down trends.see chart below as an example.
As
chart below shows, the Channels can be either upwards (rising Fibonacci
Channel ) or downwards (Falling Fibonacci Channel ), and the lines are
drawn using Fibonacci ratios, typically 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and
80.9%.

How does it work?
It helps to identify potential support/resistance as price moves towards to or along the Fibonacci Channel.
- Strength,
it's the number of bars used to detect the highest and lowest price.
If Strength set to 5, it means the swing high must be greater than the highs
of at least 5 bars to its left side and at least 5 bars to its right side. It can be more than 5 bars to each side of the swing point, but it cannot be less than 5.

- If you want to use different ratios other than the default ones, you can change them from input Level1 to Level4.
- You can change the color of each level line, the Line1 is the bottom one and Line6 is the top one. Please use the following available colors: Black Blue Cyan DarkBlue DarkBrown DarkCyan DarkGray DarkGreen DarkMagenta DarkRed DarkYellow Green LightGray Magenta Red White Yellow
- The highest and lowest level are auto detected and can't be changed.
- Line style: you can enter from 1 to 5.

If there is not enough space on the right side of the chart, you may encount a situation as shown in the image above, the Fibonacci Channel may look like squeezed. All you need to do is drag the indicator along with the price bars to left side.
You can do this by selecting the "hand" icon on the top right of the MultiCharts toolstrip.
The Fibonacci Channel will become normal as shown in the image below after there is enough space on its right side.
This Fibonacci Channel indicator works on all timeframes
