Pitchfork Indicator in TradingView
до LCX Team ·
A pitchfork indicator is a technical analysis tool that uses three parallel lines to identify trends and potential turning points in the market. The three lines represent the median line, upper line, and lower line, each of which is drawn using specific calculations. The median line is a trend line that represents the current trend, while the upper and lower lines are used to identify potential reversal points.
To utilize the pitchfork indicator, first draw a trend line connecting two extreme points to form a pitchfork. Depending on the analyst’s preferred pitchfork location, a third point is then set either above or below the second point. Note that two additional sets of lines must be drawn in order to use the pitchfork’s default settings. Up to nine sets of lines can be added in TradingView. The user can save this setup as a template and use it again if more lines are added.
The fundamental concept behind using a pitchfork is that it effectively creates a trend channel. A trend is considered active as long as the price stays within the pitchfork channel. When prices exit a pitchfork channel, reversals happen.
