Andrews' Pitchfork - ChartSchool - StockCharts.com

Andrews' Pitchfork - ChartSchool - StockCharts.com: "The steepness of the Pitchfork channel depends on the placement of the three drawing points, in particular point 1, which is the start of the median line. Even though point one usually starts with a reaction high or low, it is sometimes necessary to adjust point 1 to insure a realistic price channel. Unfortunately, there are no hard rules for point placement. Instead, chartists must use judgment and experience when drawing channels. This is where the subjective nature of technical analysis comes into play. As with most aspects of technical analysis, it is important to build experience by experimenting with Andrews' Pitchfork. See what works and what does not work first hand. This is the only real way to master an indicator."
