Andrews Pitch Fork
The Andrew's Pitch Fork is drawn between three points first point is the middle point of the price, the next is the upper point of price & the third is lower point of price. This draws three parallel lines which form a channel. Price should trend within the channel, if price moves outside of this channel like in example shown below the trade should be closed.

Cycle Lines
Cycle lines are vertical lines which are drawn at an equal distance representing the market cycles. To draw these lines a trader chooses/selects one continuous trend & draws a line between the high & low of the trend & then this MT4 technical indicator automatically plots the cycle line, these lines represent the market cycles.
