Andrew's Pitchfork
The Andrew's Pitchfork is drawn between three points first point is the middle point of oil price, the next is the upper point of crude oil price and third is the lower point of oil price. This draws 3 parallel lines that form a channel. Oil Trading Price should oil trend within this channel, if crude oil price moves outside of this channel like in the crude oil trading example explained below the trade should be closed.

Cycle Lines
Cycle lines are vertical lines drawn at an equal distance representing market cycles. To plot these lines a trader selects one continuous oil trend & draws a line between the high & low of the oil trend and then this MetaTrader 4 technical indicator automatically plots the cycle line, these lines represent market cycles.

Text & Text Labels on MetaTrader 4
From the above example the buy is a text & sell is a text label, both are not much different only that the text will move with the chart, while the text label is fixed at one point & won't move with the chart.
