Shared a custom Pitchfork drawing tool. The drawing stretches infinitely over a channel between two anchors. The tooltips show the price value where the tooltip for that anchor is positioned. You can customize the colors for each line as well as the anchor color. Here’s a pic of one with some custom coloring:

Thank you for sharing Alexander. I was looking for a pitchfork awhile back. I’ve installed this but can’t find in the list of indicator to use on the chart.

Hi @Gene_Redmon, this is a drawing tool so you select it from the Drawing Tools  
section on the chart. When you mouse over the chart it will be on the left hand side in the vertical portion of tooltips.

Thanks for creating this. Do you have any plans for creating a modified-schiff pitchfork? I’d be so grateful to see it come to the platform.

Hi. Do you know how I can modify this tool so that it is just an infinite rectangle drawing tool on a fixed-horizontal (horizontal like the regular shapes rectangle tool) that has a center line? Thanks
