The Auto Andrews Pitchfork indicator for MetaTrader 4 is one of the technical analysis tools used to determine the market's dynamic support and resistance levels. The (AAP) indicator works alongside the MACD indicator by identifying the chart's three most recent pivot points, drawing three parallel lines in red resembling a pitchfork. The median line of this pitchfork can be identified as a potential Reversal point or, if broken, can signal the continuation of the recent trend.
