Updated Intraday Anchored Fan
Similar to an Anchored VWAP, this lets you click a bar on an Intraday chart to add an "Anchored Fan" which displays lines at up to 6 levels above and below the chosen Anchor Point. Useful to measure the retracement during swing moves.
You can reposition the fan by either hovering over the anchor or by clicking the name of the study to "activate" it, and then dragging. You can also change the Anchor Point in Settings.
By default the anchor uses the bar Close, but you can change this manually in settings OR you can use the fancy "Auto high/low" mode which is handy if you are mainly dropping the fan on local swing highs and lows.
The default line measures were chosen for ES (Futures) but the study should be usable with nearly anything as long as you adjust the settings to something appropriate for the ticker. If you want to use this on NQ, for example, it would be reasonable to multiple each of these settings by 3.5 or so.
NOTE: If the fan is off the left side of the chart, one way to see the Anchor handle again easily is to switch to a higher timeframe; for example if you are on the 5min maybe use the 15min or hourly to find the handle -- if it is WAY off the left side (for example if you let many days pass without advancing it) it's generally easiest to use Settings to move it back to "now".
