How to use:

This application uses CoinGecko.com’s API to calculate fibonacci retracement/extension levels from the highest price to the lowest succeeding price between two timestamps for a specified cryptocurrency. The highest price found represents the 1 of the fibonacci calculation, and the lowest price found that chronologically comes after the highest price represents the 0. Standard fibonacci levels are calculated with the addition of .702.

It accepts four variables:

- 'coin' (e.g. bitcoin, ethereum)

- 'vs currency' (e.g. USD, EUR)

- 'from' (the date or date+time that the search will start from)

- 'to' (the end date or date+time of the search)

'Coin' is a required variable. The other three are optional. If you do not enter input for the optional variables, they will defer to their defaults, roughly meant to capture the 2017 cryptocurrency bull runs:

- 'vs currency': USD

- 'from': Friday, January 1, 2016 12:00:00 AM GMT

- 'to': Friday, May 1, 2020 12:00:00 AM GMT

Tips:

- You must enter the spelled out name of a coin. Tickers and abbreviations will not work

- XRP is referred to as ripple in CoinGecko's API

- If there is a space in the name of a coin, try replacing it with a dash

- You can reference CoinGecko's get_coin_list API method to find coin names. The list will be huge; use your browser's 'find' feature to search through the list

- The default timestamps will not work on all coins
