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

Cycle Lines
Cycle lines are vertical lines plotted at an equal distance representing market trading cycles. To plot these lines a trader selects one continuous commodity trend & draws a line between the high and low of the commodity trend and then this MT4 technical indicator automatically draws the cycle line, these lines represent market cycles.
