Question: When I draw fibonacci levels on my chart (say, a 15min chart, far left) and scroll forward in time, the fib levels disappear when the endpoints of the fib line fall off the left of the chart.!
In other words, the horizontal fib levels are only visible when the trendline that they reference is also still visible. No amount of changing the length of the lines helps.
Why so? Is there any way to change this behavior so I can retain support/resistance reference on the chart for future price action?

It was designed like this, to prevent overlapping of the multiple fibonacci retracements on a chart. Though it could be changed in next build/version (made optional).

Thanks Mike.
I can understand folks not wanting it, but my colleagues and I have just discovered FT Pro after struggling with an MT4 testing plugin and our entire TA approach is built on trading from past/present Fib levels across many timeframes... when they disappear, so does our map...
If there's any way we could see an on/off toggle for leaving the levels on the chart, you could see some happy traders hitting your 'buy' button...

Ok, I corrected this situation and will update installation soon.

I uploaded updates to the site so you can download it now. Uncheck "Closed line ends" option in Fibo parameters and you will be able to see levels when base line of Fibo is invisible.

So the problem is that if you can not see the fibo base line on the screen you can not see levels? If so, you need to download last update from site and install it over your current build. I updated installation without changing build number.
