Can you please look at the code for the Auto Retracement/Projection indicator to find out why when I try plot a 1.272 Fib retracement line using the Low of the time period length, the Fib line auto-adjusts with with every new high - the Fib retracement line should remain fixed if the Low reference point has not changed. In other words, there is no difference between what I have just described and setting the indicator to plot a 0.272 projection from the High of the period, which I would then expect to auto-adjust with every new High. Than you in advance.

Make sure the Calculation Reference Value input is set correctly for that study.

The input I'm using is correct: I chose the Low as the reference to calculate a 1.272 retracement and every time a price bar exceeds the High of the period, the 1.272 line moves up in lockstep with the High line. In other words, if I set the retracement to 1.00 using the Low as my reference point, then the retracement line behaves like the High line, which it shouldn't.

I might be able to suggest a different logic to use in the study if I can look at the code - I'm a research scientist by profession and used to troubleshoot complex problems. Do you mind sending me the code or at least the block in the program that performs the computations, as well as the variable definitions if they are not intuitive like H for high or H-L for range, etc.? Thank you.
