Back in the 1960s, Dr. Alan H. Andrews launched a one-of-a-kind
home study course for stock and commodity traders. His idea was
"to help investors gain confidence in the wonderful order underlying
random change." He aimed his course at "traders with common sense,
and a deep desire to become wealthy." In the course, and at seminars
for course members, Dr. Andrews taught the fine points of his
"Action/Reaction" techniques. One of those techniques was "The
Pitchfork." It was to become his namesake. Originally called the
"Median Line Study," it is included today in several well-known
computer charting programs. The "Andrews' Pitchfork," as it is
called these days, is a powerful set of chart lines drawn at uncommon
places on a price chart. When linked together, the arrangement
of lines resembles a farmer's pitchfork. So, that's what people
started calling his median line study...."Andrews' Pitchfork."
But his trading course covered a lot more ground than just "The
Pitchfork." The course theme was based on the "Law of Action and
Reaction," as suggested to him by a close friend, Roger Babson,
to whom he gave much of the credit for his findings. Mr. Babson,
the author of several business and finance books, was regarded
as a foremost authority on the application of "Newtons' Action
and Reaction Law," as it related to business cycles and stock
market price swings. Dr. Andrews stopped offering his course several
years ago because of his advancing years and failing health. He
has since passed away. I was privileged to become acquainted with
Dr. Andrews through his course and at his advanced seminars.

Hello Gordon,
Just wanted to say your lessons are like a good book that I can't put down. I'm really getting a lot out of them and feel they are a great value.
Thank you,

Gordon,
I am really sad that this course is coming to a close as I have really
enjoyed every aspect of it. Many ideas of Dr Andrews
are now embedded in my mind, and I am looking at charts with a much
clearer perspective and confidence.
You have been
a great teacher, and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for
sharing these lessons with me.
Best Wishes and warmest regards,
Mark Thomas

From Alan Northam:
Gordon,
Of course you have my permission to add my comments to your web site and to use my name. Thanks for asking..
I continue to review the course material and am becoming more and more
comfortable in using Dr. Andrews' methods in my own analysis. I am now
starting to use the pitchfork and his other methods in a
newsletter that I produce each day and send out to my subscribers.
Again, thanks for helping me to obtain a better appreciation for the
pitchfork and for enlightening me on the many other methods that Dr.
Andrews developed that I knew nothing about.
Regards,
Your friend, Alan R. Northam

Gordon,
I thank
you a thousand times for all that you have taught me in your course.
I truly couldn't have asked for a better instructor. All of these
techniques have opened up my eyes to a whole new dimension of
viewing the markets and trading them more profitably. I'll certainly
keep in touch and you do the same. Until next time.
Best Regards,
Gary

Gordon,
I just have to say another "Thank You" for what you have shared in
your course. I revisited your website and re-read the testimonials
you shared. They are all true to the fact of what I experienced, and
then some. If or when you decide to retire (again), who will continue
this wonderful course?
Personal thanks to you also for your heart-felt concern to help me
grasp the methods taught by Dr. Andrews. What I learned was
absolutely amazing. The pitchfork is an excellent tool, and I don't
think another approach out there can compare. I'm sure there are
benefits to other methods, but not its equal. (my personal opinion)
If you should decide to offer an additional course, please put me at
the top of your list (along with all your other course graduates).
All the best to you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving to you...and
a Merry Christmas too.
Sincerely,
DJ

Another course graduate wrote this
about the course and about the trading manual:
Hi Gordon,
I found Dr. Andrews' concept of Price Failure (in conjuction with the
Sliding Parallel) one of the most remarkable ideas in trading. This
eminently practical idea enables a trader/investor to literally turn "a
failure into success". Your clear exposition of this very important topic
with well labelled charts has made the process of understanding this concept
extremely easy. Thanks again for this superb lesson.
PS: I am not exaggerating when I say that your course together with your e-book
is the best in terms of content, value, affordability and practical use. I
have told several of my friends and colleagues about your course and I will
continue to do my best to spread the word about your course.
I will be sending my answer to the question in Lesson 5-b later this
evening.
Sincerely,
Rama

Lal kindly sent this:
"The Andrews techniques you have taught me are proving to be so valuable that I consider it my good fortune to have known you and receive the benefit of your teaching. Also, I would urge every course member, and indeed every trader to obtain a copy of
your book - those who choose not to are denying themselves of something extremely valuable. At the moment, I have no questions since invariably any question I seem to
have, I always find the answer in the manual. But thanks to your offer, I will trouble you if I
do have a tricky question!"
Kindest regards,
Lal

Hi Gordon,
This is good stuff! I was always in the dark about the range situations,
and
would always end up frustrated coz I would usually miss the trend, and
then
didn't know what to do once the price gets into a trading range ...
I am really pleasantly surprised by all the Andrews things you are showing me from
one
lesson to another. You know, I found out about your web site and your
course almost a year ago, but at that time I was thinking "why pay for
something I can get for free?" Well, I know much better now :-)
Thanks for all the good stuff,
Branislav

Hi Gordon,
I think I get everything except the 2 gap line, and I am sure this
will become clear. You
have a very clear and direct teaching style which is fortunate when one considers the
difficulty in explaining the mental gymnastics involved in eyeballing and winging a freehand least
regression diagram on what amounts to a scatter plot of data points.
Of course markets are not quite that disorderly which is why TA works.
Thanks for your help, I am enjoying this.

Another course member had this to say:
Gordon,
"I received your manual a few weeks ago, and I really like it. It's concise, extremely well written, and easy to study. I've been spending a lot of time testing the trading strategies on paper, and from what I've seen to date, I'm confident they will soon make up the core of my personal trading plan. I believe it is without a doubt the best Andrews pitchfork trading manual out there.
If you decide to write another trading manual based on Dr. Andrews' methods, please let me know. Also, thank you again for all your help and guidance while I was taking your course."
Regards,
Adam

Denise from Nicosia, Cyprus, wrote this:
Gordon,
"I spent last week reviewing the course lessons, and also re-reading your pitchfork trading manual. What a journey!! I will never again study my charts the way I did before I learned how to use Dr. Andrews' methods! I am still demo trading, and being very particular to keep my trades realistic, but it's hard to believe I haven't had any losses since the beginning of January. (that was when I was just beginning lesson 4)
I plan to keep on studying and reviewing, because the potential of this material is incredible! I will miss your emails, and I thank you again for everything you taught me."
Warm Regards,
Denise

"Thank you, Gordon. You have changed the way I look at charts. There are so many Andrews things to discover on charts if you look closely. It is a fantastic experience for me.
Ok, I've sent you two charts of OJ: The first chart shows the overall picture, i.e. a significant 5P count to the bottom. The second picture shows the same situation but I zoomed in for a precise gap count - bar by bar. Hopefully I've done everything right."

George kindly passed this along:
"I don't believe that one can effectively learn this material
on one's own, and you have made everything so clear and immediately
comprehensible.
Anyone new to the
Pitchfork and Andrews' many other approaches would be foolish not to take
this very affordable and instantly applicable course. There is far more
here than how to draw a Pitchfork."
Sincerely,
George

"Your pitchfork primer course has been an invaluable
tool for my better understanding of the Andrews' system, and now I
feel that I am going to start 2008 with new powerful resources, as I
will never look at a chart the same way I did."

Pilar
