The Retracement Calculator computes the price retracement in percents in order to anticipate future trading opportunities.
To calculate Percent Retracement three points are selected on a chart: a significant high or low, the opposite to the first point high or low and an intermediate point between the first two for which the calculations will be performed. The price range between the first two points is considered to be 100%.
