Andrew's Pitchfork
The Andrew's Pitchfork is drawn between three points first point is the middle point of price, the next is upper point of price and third is lower point of price. This draws 3 parallel lines that form a channel. Price should trend within this channel, if price moves outside of this channel like in example below the trade should be closed.
