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. Pitchfork Primer Goal: To offer a low-cost, self-paced, e-mail study program centered on course materials furnished by the founder of "The Median Line Technique," the late Dr. Alan H. Andrews.

Course Member Comments
Here's what one Pitchfork Primer course graduate wrote to say about the course and about the trading manual:
"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 ___________________________________________________________________ Branislav Karik wrote: 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 ___________________________________________________________________ Doug Rakich kindly said: Doug Rakich kindly said: Hi Gordon,
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.

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 ___________________________________________________________________ Jan from Germany wrote: "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." Regards Jan ___________________________________________________________________ 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 ____________________________________________________________________ Pilar Royo from Spain wrote: "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."
