The PTB.mq5 indicator is designed for use in the MetaTrader 5 trading platform. It calculates and displays short-term and long-term high and low levels, along with Fibonacci retracement levels based on these extremes.

• Features:

- Long-Term High and Low: It also calculates the highest and lowest prices over a longer period, providing insights into broader market trends.

- Fibonacci Levels: The indicator plots important Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%) based on the long-term high and low, which are widely used by traders to identify potential reversal points in the market.
