FibonacciIndicator.ShowAdditionalLevels Property

Gets or sets the value which determines whether to display the additional levels for the Retracement type of Fibonacci Indicators.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

[XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Behavior)]
public bool ShowAdditionalLevels { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Behavior)>
Public Property ShowAdditionalLevels As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the additional levels should be displayed; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use this property to display the additional levels (based on the Fibonacci sequence) within the Retracement type of Fibonacci Indicators. These are the 161.8%, 261.8% and 423.6% levels.

Note

Since the additional levels aren’t available for other kinds of Fibonacci Indicators, the ShowAdditionalLevels property is in effect for Fibonacci Retracement only.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a Fibonacci Indicator of a certain kind (Arcs, Fans or Retracements), and add it to a financial series.

To do this, create an instance of the FibonacciIndicator class, and specify its FibonacciIndicator.Kind property. Then, add this indicator to the series collection of indicators, returned by the XYDiagram2DSeriesViewBase.Indicators property.
