In a recent incident involving the charting platform TradingView, a Twitter user known as Cryptoteddybear claimed that the Fibonacci retracement tool had a bug impacting its functionality. This issue allegedly causes linear calculations to be made when using logarithmic charts, which is a significant concern for Elliott wave traders who rely on precise measurements for price predictions. The bug was first reported over five years ago but reportedly went unaddressed until Cryptoteddybear brought it back into the spotlight with a tweet and a subsequent YouTube video detailing the problem. Following the renewed complaints, TradingView's official Twitter account acknowledged the issue and stated that it is under investigation. Despite the acknowledgment, the problem seems to persist, as earlier reports on the consumer community platform getsatisfaction indicate that TradingView has been aware of the issue for years. In one response from 2017, a TradingView representative noted that a fix was planned but, according to the latest claims, the fix has yet to be implemented. As the situation unfolded, the CTO of TradingView noted that the bug reports may have been misinterpreted, leading Cryptoteddybear to partially retract his earlier accusations. This back-and-forth highlights the challenges of addressing long-standing technical issues and maintaining effective communication with users. Meanwhile, TradingView continues to develop its platform, recently introducing the CIX100 index, which tracks the 100 top-performing cryptocurrencies. As of now, TradingView has not provided further comments regarding the Fibonacci tool situation.
