Andrew's Pitchfork

The Andrew's Pitchfork is drawn between three points first point is the middle point of price, the next is the upper point of price and the third is the lower point of price. This draws three parallel lines that form a channel. Price should trend within this channel, if price moves outside of this channel like in the example below the trade should be closed.
