The “Fibonacci Time Zones” is a tool that traders use to mark specific trading sessions or other precise times of the day. For example, if you want to mark 08:00 AM of your local time on the chart, this tool is the choice.
The “Period Separators” that your broker shows on the chart are probably different from your country’s time zone. That is why the Fibonacci Time Zones can be a useful tool.
By default, the “Fibo Time Zones” has several vertical lines labeled as 1,2,3,4, and so on. And, distances between these numbers are equal. So, it is helpful to define a specific time of every day, not else, if you do not change its settings.

How to Use Fibo Time Zone as Fibonacci Trend-Based Time?
Some trading software offers the “Fibonacci Trend-Based Time” tool while others do not, such as MetaTrader 4 (MT4).
