Andrews' Pitchfork

Although the technical methodology known as Median Line Analysis as we know it today is rightly attributed to Dr. Alan Andrews, it should be known that it found its genesis hundreds of years before his time. That said, it was Andrews who brought it forward to the study of stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities.

Andrews’ extensive analysis and studies are the basis of what is now referred to as Andrews’ Pitchfork. It has been elaborated on since his passing by several of his students who studied directly with him, and by a number of learned and talented technicians who have refined and studied it in concert with other indicators. It’s been said his disciples, who were grain traders, were responsible for attaching the moniker Andrews’ Pitchfork to the technique—what we believe is an underutilized technical tool that belongs in every analyst’s toolbox.
