I think it's more to do with dollar dropping then with GBP and Euro gaining, so maybe someone could post a USD index chart ?

Had a question for eagle and fork trader, and other pros on here

Is it "illegal" to have a fork like this, where one of the points is BEHIND the point for the median line?

Here is the chart to show what I mean. This is N/U on a daily, and you can see the pivot I'm using for the UML is behind the pivot for the median line..

is this ok to draw forks this way?

herewith my pitchfork(s) for N-U .. I might add that I have only just done them now, well after the event .. but the fact remains: they would have worked!

as can be seen, I use Zig-zag for the key-points .. & I like to do a fork about half a dozen periods away from the last "zig"

where you see the red arrow, would have to be a perfectly normal fork, complete with entry-point.

later, I would have done the blue fork & arrow .. again the perfect entry point. (the arrows were put in by myself, they are not a "signal")

what I'm getting at, there would have been nothing contrived or artificial about using forks in this way .. H-1 timeframe, zig-zag up to fairly close ..

yes, I know the question: did I act on this, on either occasion?

no, of course not.

Looks like a nice thread here, so I'll throw in a few charts every now and then, and see how it goes...

240 min cable:
That red down fork has done it's stuff, so its upper parallel might well now be acting as support. Blue upper fork still has its median line as a live target, and its 25% is doing a pretty fine job there... Maybe this last pin forming off the 50% fib is going to provide a long entry set-up? In any event, the lovely confluence leaves me on the long side....
Now, if the next candle were to show a downside pin rejection of the red upper, it would look very bullish....

You can consider it to be a slight overshoot of the UML on that chart, downfork is still in effect as of now.

I would be very interested in seeing your EUR/USD forks

Yep, it sure is still having influence!

But, imo, the touches on the blue up fork, the action off the 25% line and off the sliding parallel under the lows, all suggest to me that something else is getting underway. Entry agsinst that last swing low now possible for not much risk, if that doesn't work will try against that black pivot line/lower pblue parallel...

Ill check the eur charts in a second because i wanted to reply first. According to dr Andrews when Price FAILS to reach the median line its target is the horizontal C pivot, thats why im speculating that the downfork is still more dominant unless there is a major breakout, there is a technique to determine the timeframe in which the price is supposed to reach the median line but i found it to be highly ineffective.

You mean a failure to meet the blue median tgt?? Bit early to think of anything failing there, imo. Since the move off the 5484 low, it's been making higher highs+ lows. Wud need some of those swing lows to be taken out, before I would worry abiout the blue fork not doing what it shud...

All imho, of course.

Thanks Martingale Yeah im a devout Pitchfork user, the blog i don't update to often because im busy trading but i should write more over the weekends

Im a little bit frustrated right now because EURUSD forks on any timeframe lower than D1 and 4H are pure madness... GBP/USD on a 1hour chart is a pure goldmine because you literally get to put up so many forks on those swings that if youre playing a Median line strategy you just make insane amounts of pips.

EurUSD is a mess and thats bothering me.. the fact that lower timeframe forks are not working annoys the living hell out of me

Will be watching and posting in this thread more often as of now because the EUR/USD thread is starting to severly annoy me

Orbital only for you my friend ... market always have an order ... you just need the eyes ...

I have used the centre of the gap as a pivot and passed the CL through it ... rest is obvious ...

Looks like many of us have the same forks...which is the way it should be, because the key pivots are in front of your eyes! Trade what you see. Pin bar on 4 hour...and use the count to frame the trade!

Lower time frames have bothered me too. I put some videos up on youtube of me trading off a 1hr, and it frustrated me so much, I think I stopped trading and coming on these forums for about a month.

It's a tough business.

hey pitchfork gurus...

I had this chart of EU.

I think that you only need 2 lines to predict where the last one is going to be.

The 2nd chart shows that the white arrows predict the green arrow.

The 3rd chart is the curent situation.

Do you guru's agree with this.?
