I'm afraid that 45.70 is indeed the 50% retracement point. When is everyone going to get beyond simple arithmetic and start using logarithms? <g>

10^(LOG(high/low)*retracement)*low

You can convince yourself it works for the following pretty easily:

high=1000
low=10
retracement=0.50

Alternately, pull out a ruler and lay it on the logarithmic chart I posted. The distance from the line to the high or the low is identical.
