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

Indices Trading Fibonacci Time Zones
The Fibo time zones are Fibo lines drawn at different Fibo timelines, these Fibo time zones are calculated using Fibo 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 the next, next added to the second & so on.
The Fibonacci time zones are shown below, at these time lines price changes are likely to occur based on technical analysis of Fibonacci time zones:

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