Auto Andrews Pitchfork indicator for MetaTrader 5 Download - Free - [Trading Finder]

The Auto Andrews Pitchfork indicator is one of the tools in MetaTrader 5 that draw three parallel lines with equal spacing, using three pivot points (market swings) and calculating the intermediate distances between them.

These lines act as dynamic support and resistance zones on the price chart, meaning that a trading signal is generated when the price touches or breaks them. This indicator draws two pitchforks with the most relevant dynamic lines on the chart, one in dashed lines and the other in solid red lines.

Downtrend Signals of the Indicator

In the image below, on the WTI crude oil symbol with a one-hour time frame, the indicator uses the last three pivot points (high - low - high) to draw the dashed Andrews Pitchfork.
