need help with treadlines please

@ibetusuck I try to create also an pitchfork chart, but to draw it is needed 3 points: 2 higher lows and 1 higher higher. My problem is how to add Pitchfork chart, take into account previous 2 highest low points and 1 higher point.
Maybe you have already an answer for this, or found an solution.
I waiting with higher interest your feedback.
Thank you.

hi so have tried millions of different ideas to achieve what I want but still cant get it just right, as I know it should appear..
trying to draw treadlines (on M15) from prior days swing high to two days prior swing high and to protrude forward a designated time, a day or two..

have been able to get to draw at designated time and level but not from swing high, should be able sine only dealing with past data..and have tried with fractals but cant get that to work either?? is there something im missing , I can be done right??

thanks in advance , charlie

and ,kinda on same subject.. haven't a clue how would get Andrews pitchfork to work..never seems to draw anything close to what I want..is it possible you could give me a typical functioning setting for a pitchfork, so I can see what these setting are even suppose to be to draw, any pitchfork....as I find mine always set on time and less on swing high or low, and I don't know what time the swing high or low will be, but it should be stored in prior days data, if I could figure out how to axcess it..

I am not looking for a miracle indicator, nor the holy grail.. just the software to draw lines off historical data..thanks again, charlie

EA - the idea of such program is to trade, to create/modify/delete trades and orders and basically to control their count
Script - similar, but its code runs once
Indicator - the idea is to get information from the candles and transform that information to another kind of information

EAs and Indicators are little bit different. Yes, EAs can do calculations, because they are programs, but its better to make those calculations in indicators. Swing, highs, lows... there are some things already available in "Condition" block, such as the highest/lowest level in few candles, or pivot points, but for more complex problems indicators should be used.

I don't understand Andrew's Pitchfork. I only know that it has many coordinates. I have no idea how this thing is used.

ok, thanks for reply, heres the thing.. I get the swing high low inputs, but still don't understand the time blocks, how am I suppose to know whem, time or candle these highs happen?? as there are 2 inputs on the trendline settings..one would obviously be high or indicator to find the high, but would like line to be drawn from, the candle the high occurred at, which is defined by time no?? so finding high easy, getting line drawn from there is the problem , as it wants to draw at designated time I input, still confused, sorry
