GEN - Andrews Pitchfork

Peter,

There have been some changes in this indicator since I started
taking a course on Andrews techniques from:

	PitchforkPrimer <gordon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

and I am sure there will be others before I get through.  One in
particular is the  0-3/4  fork which I had not heard of before.

Using this indicator you must have sufficient data points and you
must have maxbarsback determination set to automatic -- not user
defined.

There are problems at times plotting the parallel lines -- not
quite parallel but that is because of the way Omega does things.

You can use multiple sets with different time frames and it works
well.

The following is the frontend documentation and  .ela  is attached.

This was written for TS5.0 and may be close (or over) memory limits
for TS4.0 -- no I don't intend to retrofit if it is out.

Some of you who know Andrews techniques might post some examples
using this indicator so we can all benefit.  I can make the
indicator but do not have the experience to recommend how to 
(or in fact if) use it.

  Notes:  Uses Swing_Lee function which uses
        HighestHigh and LowestLow for n days 
        to determine Turning Points for Swing Analysis.

        This is an enhancement?? of the original LengthOfSwing
        indicator which has added an input parameter
        AndrColo which when entered causes the system to
        perform normally and add the last two "pitchforks"
        which can be drawn with the swings picked by LOS.

        Set ATRMult to value which fits risk
        desired relative to current swing
        position.

        User may select to plot TRUE turning points
        (i.e. actual dates when TP was determined).
        User may or may not have channels generated.
        User may or may not have end extensions plotted.
