HI, I see this post creates a fib retracement based on over night high and low.
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/premarket-after-market-for-thinkorswim.75/page-12#post-114754

I am looking for a fib retracement (both uptrend and downtrend retracement) for the high and low created starting from open and close of the market. For example, if the market open as 500(say this is low of market open - 9.30 AM (EST) ) and goes up until 520 (this is high after market open) and then value reverses. I am looking for a fib from 500 - 520. Once the price goes low to say 490 and reverses. Now the high is 520 and low is 490. Now it creates auto fib from 520 - 490. Like wise. Is it possible to create a code or can you direct to the tread if this is asked before. Thanks

this plots fib lines, from the last peak and last valley

Code:

@halcyonguy Thank you for the script. I am trying now. Will update my observation. I have a question. What is length =7?

it uses , length =7 , to determine peaks and valleys.
on every bar, it looks at 6 bars before the current bar and 6 bars after the current bar, and finds the highest or lowest prices ( peaks and valleys)
