Fibonacci Extensions are similar to Retracements, except that they extend clear to one side of the chart of the chart and beyond. As with many of the other Fibonacci Tools a green control line is used to set the location, height and width of the Extension.
Control Point 1 is initially placed at the Chart location where the drawing tool is added and can be elongated to cover more of the screen, or if crossing over the zero point will flip the extension so that it extends onto the other side of the chart window. Control Point 2 is the vertical control line and sets the interval that the Fibonacci lines will use to calculate what percentage of the interval they will sit at. Control Point 3 is used to shift the entire extension tool up or down without resizing.
You can change several elements of the Fibonacci Extension tool, through the use of properties. To access the tool properties, right click on the highlighted tool and select Object Properties.
