Auto Pitchfork, Fib Retracement and Zig Zag by DGT

Pitchfork is a technical indicator for a quick and easy way for traders to identify possible levels of support and resistance of an asset's price. It is presents and based on the idea that the market is geometric and cyclical in nature

  Developed by Alan Andrews, so sometimes called Andrews’ Pitchfork
  It is created by placing three points at the end of previous trends
  Schiff and Modified Pitchfork is a technical analysis tool derived from Andrews' Pitchfork


In general, traders will purchase the asset when the price falls near the support of either the center trendline or the lowest trendline. Conversely, they'll sell the asset when it approaches the resistance of either the center line or the highest trendline.
