TOOLS: The use of State-of-theart Technical Analysis and newly created Integrated
Pitchfork Analysis : FTSE, German Dax 30, S&P500, DJIA, Roussell 2000, German Bund,
US Bonds, Currencies & Stocks
Mircea Dologa, MD, CTA has created and developed Integrated Pitchfork Analysis, in synergy
with the existing state-of-the-art professional trading tools. In this first Course, the author builds
the foundation of the method while in the second he will describe techniques integration with the
already existing trading tools, frequently un-known to the average trader.
As we have already mentioned, that this first Course was written to establish the basis for this
method. It was expressly made suitable for the novice and for the intermediate level traders.
I sincerely hope, that the more experienced traders will get most of their interest in the second
Course.
The author presented the theoretical basement, in such a manner that the reader will get easily
acquainted with the learning building blocks. The reader, will then progressively proceed deeper
into the process of mastering the edges of this professional trading method.
The Key Points to Remember section located at the end of each chapter, is employed in
concordance with other principles of epistemology (science of Learning) such as teaching a single
subject through the use of progressive modules or applying the process of mental assimilation
based on repetitive real-time cases. Among other taught topics, we would like to mention:
-
The birth, the choice and the criteria of the pivots participating in the optimal description
of the local and also contextual markets,
The magnet-power of the median line and its associates,
The profitable and at the same time, ergonomic use of various types of pitchforks,
including some original, never published before,
The action and reaction lines with their construction, synergy, dynamics and conversion
into optimal pitchforks,
The integration of the Fibonacci price ratios, the unveiled S/R makers,
The confluences and clusters, those cardinal tools that reveal the hidden intersecting
levels, so often responsible for reversals.
The energy-building rectangle reflecting the exhaustion and rebuilding energy areas of
the market flow,
The different types of gaps including the breakaway gap, the best money-maker,
Finally, the every-day practice of the multiple time frame concept.
The practical aspects of trading were continuously present in authors mind during the whole
period of writing this course.

The synergistic nuts-sand-bolts are regularly emphasized throughout each chapter. We will
mention here, just a few: single and multiple channelling, magical magnet-power of the median
line with its ravishing impact, energy-building rectangles, the confluence and cluster zones with
their main reversal tasks, the stealthy un-orthodox trend lines, etc...
The classic components of various types of trades were studied in detail. The entries were fully
and efficiently described: piercing, test & re-test, zooming and the too often neglected price
failure. The trade management, including the exits and the risk & money management concepts
are presented in real-life examples.

TOOLS: The use of the State-of-the-Art Technical Analysis and the newly created
Integrated Pitchfork Analysis: FTSE, German Dax 30, S&P500, DJIA, Roussell 2000,
German Bund, US Bonds, Currencies & Stocks
Mircea Dologa, MD, CTA has created and developed Integrated Pitchfork Analysis, in synergy
with existing state-of-the-art professional trading tools. The first Course built the foundation, and
the second will describe the integration of the method with the already existing state-of-the-art
trading tools.
This second Course was specifically elaborated for the experienced trader, bringing even further
and higher the standards of Dr Andrews technique, founded more than 30 years ago. The
Integrated Pitchfork Analysis will enhance the ergonomics and the profitability of the trades
through the use of three mechanisms:
-
Many of these tools did not exist or were not symbiotically and synergistically used together,
more than a quarter of a century ago. They surely belong nowadays to the arsenal of the
profitable and consistent professional trader: the inter-market analysis, the multiple time frame,
the floor pivots, the Elliott waves principle, the Gann tools, the Jenkins circles, the Wolfe waves
and the cycles.
As most of us know, the trader is an eternal student of the markets. Until the efficient and
consistent trading level is attained, the trader will have to fight teeth and nails, in his quest for
knowledge. It means that you must have the stamina and the energy, as well as the skill for
continuous tasks in the process of learning and practice. There is nothing out there to be taken
for granted.
The teaching procedures exposed in this 26 chapter trading book, fully obey to the epistemology
principles: presentation of the advanced Knowledge in a modular manner and the practice of it,
through the analysis of real-time clinical trading cases with great emphasis on Risk and Money
Management concepts. Please find below brief explanations of some taught topics:
-
The description of the Context of the Trade, so often neglected, will really facilitate the
comprehension of the market movements, otherwise there isnt any chance of profitable results

The Pre-open Preparation is a well-kept secret of the professional trader. Between you and
me How many books or even articles have you read or seen about this very pragmatic topic?
Or Is this important for the markets opening and mornings trading results! Or should I
rather say Is this the key to understand the ensuing days trading outcome?
The Overnight News correctly exploited by the trader will profitably fuel the trade (s) of the
morning.
The Inter-market Analysis & Fundamentals, so often misunderstood, due to their labyrinth
facets, have the advantage of building the road to the days trading potential. Many of us can
still remember, the disastrous impact of the Russian or the Asian crisis that shook-up the entire
world markets, some years ago. We are now aware that the dragonflys wing fluttering in Asia
can be easily heard over the oceans!
The more Advanced Pitchfork Patterns, efficiently assist the trader in locating the most
probable target, trails or stop loss levels. Their channelling, determination and kinetics will
create time-price dependent market relations. These advanced tools will reveal the optimal
market description, so indispensable for finding the low-risk high-probability trades. Some
very original subjects were treated here.
The Common & Momentum Fibonacci Bar Count is very little known by most of the traders.
The momentum mapping will easily divulge the strength or the weakness of the ongoing
market. What else will better reveal the trends exhaustion?
The use of Elliott Waves intricate with the single or multiple pitchforks is one of the most
precious tools available for the astute trader. It can, not only identify the trend and the
counter-trend, but can also reveal the exact location of the market flow within the contextual
or the local market. Thus, we can observe the maturity of the trend, the price targets and
finally the specific levels where the market might fail.
Due to the common difficulty or even the inability of some traders to understand Elliott waves
concept, the author emphasized the applied principle of epistemology, teaching this topic
through the use of progressive modules, the process of mental assimilation based on repetitive
real-time cases, and the Key Points to Remember section, at the end of each chapter. The
latter takes its full applicability in the learning process, later on, when the trader can make a
quick reference, whenever needed.
The Breakaway & Runaway Gaps represent a closely guarded secret, which is very rarely
revealed. The author considers them, as highly profitable tools of the experienced trader,
unveiling the myth of gap trading. Their trading potential is more than 50% of traders entire
profitable performance, when properly used.
The Fibonacci Time-Ratios, a hard to grasp concept and a very seldom-described topic in
trading literature, may sometimes be more helpful than its price related homologue. They seem
more complicated, at first glance, but once the basics assimilated, the efficient results are
immediate.
The Profitable Chart Patterns are poorly mastered by the crowd, which represents a real edge
for the astute trader. Their description is done progressively, in a simple evolutionary way, step
by step. In a very short time the trader could make his profit, only from this technique. Our
favour goes to horizontal and diagonal triangles!
The studies of the Rectangles are extensively developed by the author. New elements, never
published before, are presented. The described symbiosis of the pitchfork with the rectangles is
efficient and ergonomic. The two mal aims brothers were almost never used together, until
now.
The author studied in detail several indicators such as: CCI, RSI, False Stochastics,
OSC(5,35) and Bollinger bands, in order to pinpoint better entries or exits. Our preference
goes to False Stochastics (an Advanced GET proprietary indicator of eSignal), which is a dual
characteristic tool for determining the trending and at the same time, the sideways moving
markets.

The Multiple Time Frame charts, once again is a poorly known and understood concept. The
pitchforks brotherhood is strongly revealed through the time-wise relationships, so useful in
the search for low-risk high-probability trades.
The Multiple Time Frame Floor Pivots concept is almost a magical tool inherited from the
floor traders of the world exchanges, especially from Chicago. They not only pinpoint the
market flow, but they also create a veridical synchronous pace of the inter-market correlation,
like the one existing between the German Dax 30 and the S&P 500.
The author was bewildered by the intricacies and melting idiosyncrasies of the pitchforks with
Jenkins circle, Wolfe waves, Cycles and Gann techniques. Well used, their outcome is
beneficial for the trader, even if sometimes, it is hard to believe that the random market has a
perfectly organized structure. These are apparent hard to grasp concepts revealing the
endogenous cyclical nature of prices (S/R key levels of tops and bottoms). However, with hard
work and everyday practice, the trader can obtain very profitable results.
Once all these tools are described, the author developed a whole 50-page chapter on risk and
money management concept, first theoretically presented and then applied through the filter of
multiple case studies. It unveils numerous professional edges, far away from the crowds reach.
Among others, we will mention: the pre-arranged entries, the parsimony of stop loss sizes, the
logical objective targets, the reward/risk ratios, the hidden and non-randomly chosen trailing stops,
the scale in/out concepts which may increase with at least 50% your results, the exits, the nibbling
and the single/multiple trading units.
For a trader, two things are primordial: Knowledge and Confidence.
Knowledge explains how the market works, and Confidence is the traders ability to use it, over
and over again. The more you use it, the more you will see the market react to your proposed
strategy. The more you will believe in it, the faster you will become a self-confident trader.
We should never, ever forget that trading with Confidence is the most profitable way around!
The Knowledge builds the Confidence, and together they will really ensure your peace of mind,
without any visceral fear or pain, throughout the entire trading process!
The Integrated Pitchfork Analysis concept, described in the book, in a practical and progressive
approach, will not only build the traders Confidence, but it will also offer a global and unique
real trading professional edge, to be used, over and over again, by the trader, in every day
practice.

Dr Mircea Dologa, MD, CTA began his investment and trading career in pharmaceutical and real
estate industries, in 1987. As a Commodity Trading Advisor (Series 3 Exams) registered with the
National Futures Association in USA and a Stock Investment Adviser (Series 7 Exams) by the New
York Stock Exchange clients, he founded a new teaching concept, mainly based on the practical
aspects of trading for the newcomers and also experienced traders.
He is a well-known contributor to the international trading magazines:
- in USA to Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities and Futures,
- in United Kingdom to Technical Analyst,
- in Germany to Traders English- and German-language editions,
- in Australia to Your Trading Edge
- in South-East Asia The Traders Journal.
He studied and practiced the Integrated Pitchfork Analysis for more than ten years and has written
three books on this subject over 1500 pages and 1420 charts; more than 20 international trading
articles were also consecrated to this work.
Among the incommensurable advantages of the Integrated Pitchfork Analysis technique, there are
the following principles:
This technique has become a head-start in terms of professional trading, based on the
authors knowledge and practice of more than two decades, even if the writers original
concept has rooted from more than 75 years of trading experience of our masters like
Schabacker, Babson, Marchal and Dr Alan H. Andrews.
Thus, a trading edge too efficient to be ignored has been created!
The Key Points to Remember section, located at the end of each book chapter over 1500
pages, has been designed to sharpen the understanding of the just described theory
pertaining to exposed case studies and also to provide prompt reference points for later
quick revisions.
The authors experience in medical field warned and taught him that there is no positive
outcome of any well accomplished tasks without the heavy load of clinical cases practice,
once that the knowledge and confidence are at rendez-vous. Thus, he provided for almost
every chapter, the case studies, which will not only emphasize the theoretical presentation,
but will also comfort the traders comprehension and confidence.
As an entrepreneurial person that you probably are, otherwise you wouldnt be reading this text right
now, you took up the decision to become a profitably consistent trader Dont wait This trading
technique cautioned by the professionals is for you!
Be warned of the risk and the problems ahead The road to conquer the trading Learning
Curve is long and thorny youll certainly get there if you really want it, but youll have to
fight teeth and nails!
