Hi Vail,

I am not real sure I follow your question, but I think you are referring to the test of the ML before the "C" pivot, which was on the third bar of the pullback.  Since the "C" pivot had not been created, no fork could be drawn, so while the retest ultimately was the projection of the ML before it was a ML, it could not have been drawn.  A clear mind could have possibly projected the "C" from the pullback though, but that wasn't what you asked. If however you would have anchored your fork on the low just prior to the retest, and then price went through the LML, by measuring distance price stretched away from the LML, then pasting it below, you got really close to the eventual "C".  It's that whole hagopian rule as above so below again.

Bryce,

Great charts.   To answer your question on the pitchfork factory, the second rule listed there would be the one you were asking about I think.

Take Care
