2. Outline Reading a Chart to Predict Price Action
Action / Reaction Lines (Every Action has an equal and opposite Reaction)
Median Lines
Andrews Pitchforks
Rules to Use Pitchforks
Application to Random Charts

3. Personal Rules for Trading
Slow Down, there will always be another trade
If there is not a good, high probability set up, do not trade (no boredom trades)
Enter after a test on the re-test with a limit order
Set stop and target with order (stop and target are active if limit order is filled)
Minimum Reward / Risk 2:1 prefer > 3:1

4. Mark Charts to Understand Price Action
Mark higher highs and lower lows to determine Pivots
Mark Significant Pivots (highs and lows) with lines all the way across the chart
Identify the TREND
As you mark your chart, notice possible Multiple Pivot lines
Draw the MPL that best fits the Trend

5. Price Movement

6. Price Movement 2

7. Price Movement 3

8. Multiple Pivot Lines (MPL)

9. Doubling The Range in Consolidation (Building Energy for a Break Out)

10. Action and Reaction
Any action is followed by an equal and opposite reaction
A movement down is usually followed by a movement up
Use Significant Pivots

12. Median Lines Drawn from Significant Pivots
Use A B C as points for pivots
Derived from Middle of BC Line
Median Line is the line from Point A through the middle of the BC Pivot line

13. Find Major Pivots

14. Draw BC Centerline and Find Midpoint

15. Draw Median Line (A to Midpoint)

16. Add B and C Parallel to Medianline

17. Rules for Median Lines (5 rules)
There is a high probability that prices will reach the latest ML

18. Rule 1. 80% Probability the move will reach the next median line

19. Rules for Median Lines (5 rules)
There is a high probability that prices will reach the latest ML
Prices will either reverse on meeting the ML or gap (zoom) through it

20. Rule 2. Price will either reverse on meeting the ML or

21. Rule 2. Price will either reverse on meeting the ML or Gap (Zoom) through

22. Rules for Median Lines (5 rules)
There is a high probability that prices will reach the latest ML
Prices will either reverse on meeting the ML or gap (zoom) through it
When prices pass through the ML, they will pull back to it

23. When prices pass through the ML, they will pull back to it

24. Rules for Median Lines (5 rules)
There is a high probability that prices will reach the latest ML
Prices will either reverse on meeting the ML or gap (zoom) through it
When prices pass through the ML, they will pull back to it
Prices reverse at any ML or extension of a prior ML

25. Prices reverse at any ML or extension of a prior ML

26. Prices reverse at any ML or extension of a prior ML

27. Rules for Median Lines (cont.)
5. When prices reverse before reaching the ML, leaving a “space”, they will move more in the opposite direction than when prices were rising toward the ML. (Hagopian’s Rule)

Slow Down in Trading
Trade close to the edges but with confirmed turns
Wait for a recognized set up
2:1 Reward / Risk minimum
Have Realistic Profit Targets (may get more, but only expect about 3:1)
