if (ShowAndrewsPitchFork)
DrawAndrewsPitchFork(index);
else
Chart.RemoveObject("AndrewsPitchFork");

Nice information, I love this. Provides special education attorney services in San Leandro

This Andrew's Pitchfork from Zigzag indicator, which is so reflective and desirable for all the new individuals but there are also very beneficial and fantastic guest post backlinks, from them so easily all over the US.
@ M_Anjom You are right, pitchfork wont disappear without Chart.RemoveObject("AndrewsPitchFork");
I will edit ASAP. I would also like to add a few more options like option to change fork color, switch zigzag on/off etc. Let me see.
Thanks btw.
