Q&A – unsure about something covered in the course?
“The Basic e-Course is super helpful and comprehensive. I have gone through it several times now and pick up new tips each time. I really wish I had found this sooner. It would have saved me a lot of trading losses.”
“It’s information overload on the internet when you’re trying to learn to trade and I was finding it very hard to find my feet. Then I found TradingMotives. What a difference that has made. In the “On Demand Basic Course” Graham made me realize that the true value of a teacher lies in the ability to explain the methods in simple terms. Couldn’t recommend the site or the course highly enough!”
“I was struggling with trading & didn’t know what to do to fix that. I then followed TradingMotives on Twitter for a while – it was like a light bulb going on. I subscribed & took the Basic e-Course. What a huge difference this has made. The course isn’t just about technical analysis, its about how to trade using very simple, effective methods. I now have a clear direction, am growing equity & am hugely grateful.”
“I had been trying to learn to trade by following people on Twitter. I was all hyped up about Crypto (like everyone else), but it took a few big losses to tell me I didn’t know what I was doing. TradingMotives posted some really good charts & advice, so I joined & did their Basic Course. This has made a huge difference. I still have heaps to learn, but I finally have direction. Thanks Graham. Awesome course”
“Came across this great website while on Twitter. I’d never heard of this kind of trading method before so I was keen to learn more. The Basic Course has completely changed the way I’m learning to trade. I no longer need multiple indicators cluttering up my screen and using median lines easily shows me what the overall trend is. This has given me better confidence and I’m also more patient and don’t rush into trades anymore.”
“I would highly recommend the On Demand e-Course to anybody who is serious about learning to trade using Median Lines. Grahams course is comprehensive and he explains the concepts in a way that is easily understood. You are then able to apply these techniques to trade any market and time frame. Grahams subscription service provides regular chart updates and weekly reviews that really enhance your learning in real time. I believe his services are the best available.”

- The course begins with an introduction to the way Dr. Andrews studied price pivots and shows some of the different ways he drew his pitchforks on a chart.
- Learn how he used the median line to anticipate future price movement and the special way he used the median line to project the probable time and price level of a trend change.
- These are the first steps towards successful application of Dr. Andrews’ trading methods.
Pitchfork Primer e-Course Lesson 2 - SIDEWAYS COUNT
- In this lesson, you’ll learn a technique Dr. Andrews called his “Sideways Count” for price projections
- The price projection methods are applied to price behavior that forms within channels and can be used as an auxiliary tool with the pitchfork.
- The projected price targets are reached with routine frequency.
- This section is a common favorite with course members.
Pitchfork Primer e-Course Lesson 3 - ACTION/REACTION
- In this lesson, you’ll discover Dr. Andrews’ “Action/Reaction” method.
- The technique is an extension of the pitchfork concept, and alerts the trader to potential buy and sell price levels that seldom mirror traditional support and resistance areas.
- Not many traders are aware of this procedure. It’s somewhat more challenging to apply than his other techniques, but course members agree the time spent learning it has paid dividends.

Pitchfork Primer e-Course Lesson 6 - TRADING RULES
- The final unit. In this lesson you’ll learn the trading rules that Dr. Andrews developed for use with his Pitchfork and other trading techniques.
- These rules represent the “nuts and bolts” of his Action/Reaction methods. They make the difference between knowing how to draw Dr. Andrew’s lines, and knowing how to successfully use them.
- You’ll have the chance to review and apply each trading rule, using charts of your choice. As you proceed through the course, you’ll very likely be surprised at the number of supplemental techniques Dr. Andrews relied on for use with his median line and related action/reaction techniques….techniques that he used for fine-tuning his analysis in order to pinpoint the price level for entry and exit trade orders.

“The course was amazing. You showed me a lot of proven trading methods and rules. The videos were very informative and helped reinforce each lesson.

This is a comprehensive and fantastic training program and has already improved my trading performance. Graham, the course is fantastic, and I can’t thank you enough.”
“This course has been a game changer for me. I found I could relate to the methods very easily and have since adopted some of the rules as my own trading strategies. More importantly, my equity curve is growing from trades using the methods I have learnt. Thank you for your excellent mentoring and patience Graham. I can now see why you are hooked on these methods”
“I can highly recommend the Pitchfork Primer course for anybody who is serious about learning how to trade using Median Line analysis. Graham is an expert in his field, and the course content and tuition provided is outstanding. Since completing the course my trading has improved greatly, and the course represents exceptional value for money.”
Quite simply the best course I have ever done. If you are looking for an edge in financial markets then look no further. Graham is THE guru when it comes to making money trading and it is rare to find someone this genuine when it comes to an industry ruled by fear and greed.
“The Pitcher Primer e-course not only provided me with an in-depth coverage of Andrews Pitchfork but it also focused on the practical aspects of the rules and guidelines of using median lines (ML). What I enjoyed the most was the valuable learning experience from the course instructor Graham whose feedback on the assignments was constructive and insightful. Graham’s enthusiasm and patience exceeded my expectations and his guidance has helped me get back on track to profitable trading. Thank you, Graham”
