Indices Fib Retracement
The Fibo retracement can be placed on a chart from the Fibonacci retracement button. Fibo retracement is used to try to project where a price pullback is likely to reach. The Fibonacci retracement levels are drawn as illustrated and shown below. To learn how to draw and use Fibonacci Retracement Levels read the guide: How to draw Fib Retracement Levels:

Indices Fibonacci Time Zones
The Fibonacci time zones are Fibonacci lines plotted at different Fibonacci timelines, these Fibonacci time zones are calculated using Fibonacci points 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. The Fibo areas are 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, first number add to next, next added to the second & so on.
The Fibonacci time zones are illustrated below, at these time lines price changes are likely to occur based on technical analysis of Fibonacci time zones:

Stock Indices Fibonacci Fan
The Fibo fan is drawn between two chart points & then three additional lines below the trend are plotted as the fans, these are 38.2%, 50.00% and 61.80% Fibonacci retracement levels. Stock price is likely to bounce & continue in the original direction after price retraces to any of these fan lines.

Stock Indices Fibonacci Expansion
The Fibonacci expansion is used to determine most probable level at which traders should set their take profit levels based on Fibonacci expansion level 61.8% & 100.0% expansion levels. The Fibonacci expansion levels are also referred to as Fibo Expansion Levels or Fibonacci Projection Levels by some traders & these Fibo Extension areas are plotted as shown below.
