FibonacciRetracementLevels

Summary

FibonacciRetracementLevels is RTTA's streaming implementation of: Rolling Fibonacci retracement levels between recent high and low.

Update API

result = rtta.FibonacciRetracementLevels().update(high, low)

The update(...) call consumes one observation using high, low. advance(...) uses the same inputs when the caller wants to update state without materializing a Python return value.

Theory Of Operation

FibonacciRetracementLevels maintains rolling extrema, ranges, or envelopes. The C++ state updates the relevant window/range statistics once per input sample.

Recurrence

Let \(z_t = (high_t, low_t)\) denote the observation consumed by one update(...) call and let \(\theta\) denote constructor parameters such as window lengths, thresholds, and smoothing constants.

\[H_t=\max_{i\in W_t} high_i, \qquad L_t=\min_{i\in W_t} low_i\]

\[y_t = G(H_t,L_t,close_t)\]

update(...) returns a result struct with fields level0, level236, level382, level500, level618, level100.

Implementation Notes

The recurrence is implemented in src/rtta/indicator.cpp in class FibonacciRetracementLevels.
