Find the Fibonacci Sequence nth term In ThinkOrSwim
i made this with the intention that the sub script could be used in other projects. by itself, it is of no use for trading.
(someone asked for an average, weighted with fib series numbers, and this could be used for that project)

this study will return that nth term, in the Fibonacci sequence.
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,...

ex. the 5th term is 3

it will,
. display the nth term number in a label
. draw bubbles with, the barnumber and the series number, up to the desired nth number


Ruby:
# fibonacci_series_nth_term_01

#  calc the nth term in a fibonacci series

# https://math.hmc.edu/funfacts/fibonacci-number-formula/
#  the sequence begins: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...
#  the formula for the n-th term is:
#  p1 = (1 + Sqrt[5]) / 2
#  p2 = (1 – Sqrt[5]) / 2
#  nterm = ( p1^n – p2^n ) / Sqrt(5)
#--------------------------

script fibnum {
input term = 1;
# adjust the input number, so the first output is 0
def n = term - 1;

def p1 = (1 + Sqrt(5))/2;
def p2 = (1 – Sqrt(5))/2;
def fterm = ( power(p1 , n) – power(p2, n ) ) / Sqrt(5);

plot fibvalue = fterm;
}


# ---------------------------
#  main
# ---------------------------
def na = double.nan;
def bn = BarNumber();
input show_fib_terms = yes;
#--------------------
# test1 , show nth fib number in a label
input fib_term = 12;
def f1 = fibnum(fib_term);
AddLabel( show_fib_terms, fib_term + " fib term is: " + f1, Color.CYAN);
#--------------------
# test2 , show fib #'s in bubbles on the first few candles
def calcfib = (bn <= fib_term);
def fib_index = if calcfib then bn else na;
def f2 = if !calcfib then na else fibnum(fib_index);
AddChartBubble(  show_fib_terms and calcfib, low, bn + "\n" + f2, Color.YELLOW, no);
#-------------------

Hi,

I have been looking for a script similar to your concept but instead of labeling each candle, it will only label the candle according to the sequence. for example Candle # 4,6,7 will be skipped but candles 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 will be labeled or colored. Also it be can anchored to a certain starting period and have the fib sequence candle with a unique color. Please let me know if this is possible.
