fib retrace tool - example of why it needs more tweaking

[toddaclark]

I know that my request to have an option to "only show the fib retracement lines starting at the 2nd anchor point and moving the right" is on the feedback list. I appreciate that.

I wanted to show a good example from this morning of why I think this fib tool option is important and impactful.
Please see the following screenshot link:

Notice on the left chart that there are 2 white (50%) lines shown on the chart but I can't tell which one is the near term line and which one is the longer term line. One may be a 50% line for a Short and one may be a 50% line for a Long. It's important to be able to quickly tell which line is which.

If the fib retrace horizontal lines would start plotting at the 2nd anchor point then it would be clear which fib was which and it would make the chart cleaner and easier to interpret quickly. When price is moving fast, anything which might cause confusion on your chart can be a big problem.

Please consider adding this option to the next beta release.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Todd Clark

Edit... also see this new screenshot below.. if the fib lines started at the 2nd anchor point, the top fib line would not be covering up the high of the day line.. Earlier this morning I was just looking at the chart on the left so I didn't realize that ES was double topping at the high of the day... that important current high of the day line information was being covered up by the top fib line so I missed a really good entry short.

Todd, thanks for taking the time to explain your reasoning behind the suggestions - we appreciate the detailed feedback given.

Todd, we've reviewed your input and thank you for the suggestions provided - however please keep in mind our priority focus right now is stabilize NT7 beta to reach the point where we can roll into the production release process. Once this is accomplished, we'll review our feedback list in depth and decide on further features / enhancements to be implemented. Until this point it's not necessary to repost the same suggestions as the original posting is not lost to us and already have it in hand.

Thanks for your understanding and support.

Bertrand,

I understand the priority to get NT 7 stabilized and out for production. I also know that you have my request on your feedback list.

I just wanted to further explain why I think this suggestion is useful. I'm not trying to pester... well... maybe a little.

After my 9.5 hours of rebuilding my NT charts and workspace today, I was kind of hoping that NT might make it up to me by moving this request towards the top of the feedback list. Hey, it can't hurt to ask.

Thanks for all the hard work.
Todd

P.S. I tend to ask for things that I think would only take a few minutes to "tweak". But who knows... I could be underestimating what it takes to make my requests happen.
