Andrew's Pitchfork
The Andrew's Pitchfork is drawn between three points first point is the middle point of xauusd price, the next is the upper point of xauusd price & the third is the lower point of xauusd price. This draws 3 parallel lines that form a channel. Gold Price should gold trend within this channel, if xauusd price moves outside of this channel like in xauusd example illustrated & 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 gold trend and draws a line between the high & low of the gold trend and then this MT5 technical indicator automatically draws the cycle line, these lines represent market cycles.
