Patrick Mikula, July 25, 2005
This review is from: The Best Trendline Methods of Alan Andrews and Five New Trendline Techniques (Paperback)
Easy read, very informative and seems to work best on FX. Nothing new about fork TA but it is a new twist with the parrellel fork trend lines and trigger points so easilly recouped cost of the book on my first trade so surely this is the best way to recommend it....this book makes you money !

Looks good in the book but not on a chart., October 25, 2006
This review is from: The Best Trendline Methods of Alan Andrews and Five New Trendline Techniques (Paperback)
I really wanted to like this book and i really tried to apply the methods to my trading but, it is not very accurate at all you might hit 1 out of 20 trades (which is not a very good ratio too me atleast). And the pitchfork is in every charting package that you buy so, i guess the market just fades thease moves.

Understanding the Pitchfork guided by Mikula, January 9, 2007
This review is from: The Best Trendline Methods of Alan Andrews and Five New Trendline Techniques (Paperback)
Mikula's book goes straight to the substance of Andrew's trendline methods and introduces the reader to it's applications. Besides that, it reviews other techniques developed by his team which expand the trader's hability to combine trading concepts.
Very good

You have to recognise your peers., July 31, 2011
This review is from: The Best Trendline Methods of Alan Andrews and Five New Trendline Techniques (Paperback)
He claims that his book is the only book as far as he knows that deals with this topic. He has not done his research then, so you can say that he is not qualified to write about it. What about: TImothy Morge, Gregg Fisher, Gordon de Roos, Ron Jaenisch to name a few? They are not exactly hiding in the woodwork. A quick google and you can find them all. What was he thinking? That his readers wouldn't know of these guys?

Best Book on pitchforks, August 7, 2011
This review is from: The Best Trendline Methods of Alan Andrews and Five New Trendline Techniques (Paperback)
Not sure I understand the negative reviews?
Yes, median lines work, on any instrument and any timeframe.
But like any method, you need to spend time using it before putting it all together.
I think it's a superior method as it can give you entry, stops, targets for exits, and the probable direction of price.
It's one of the few leading indicators.
As for this book, it's an easy read, with clean charts, and new techniques not seen in other books.
If you're serious about median lines, get this book and study it.
You do not need to stack up tons of useless indicators (ma, macd, rsi, adx and who knows what...), only price pays.
Trendlines and Median lines are the best and most straightforward way to study price.

Are you serious about trading?, June 15, 2006
This review is from: The Best Trendline Methods of Alan Andrews and Five New Trendline Techniques (Paperback)
if the answer is yes,then I recommend this book for you. its very well written and its the complete pitchfork guide as far as I know. technical analysis trader, at one time or another, relies one trendlines to make his/her forecasts. the book gives you some methods, but you should add what works in your own trading system/style. I suggest to combine trendlines with osillators(I prefer slow stochastic), moving average (macd is the greatest)and chart patterns (double tops/bottoms,head and shoulders ..etc)to avoid bad entries. I don't recommend that you ignore normal support/resistance trendlines. they do work if you know how to apply them ,trader needs time and patient to master trendlines.good trader keeps learning. good luck
