This will be my last question on this subject I hope. Sorry, I just want to make sure there is nothing I can really do here. I've read the info but don't see how to get it to help me in this situation. The chart fools me a lot thinking a line was hit when it really wasn't, but if I zoom in 1 or 2 clicks it wasn't touched. I never have this problem on Ensign or MT4. See pics, this is just one of many examples that happens everyday. The levels are added % levels to pitchfork.

Refer to the documentation here about the Pitchfork tool:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Tools.html#Pitchfork

Refer to the section about the Understanding and Setting the Secondary Anchor Point . This will solve the problem.

Make sure those parallel lines are part of the Pitchfork drawing and not manually drawn.

That seems to just mess up where the original pitchfork placement was. I'll keep trying with it. The parallel lines in the picture are part of the pitchfork tool, the % levels.
I've been trying to repeat any of these errors in Ensign and MT4 and I can't.

Another thing that will help is to make the number of bars between the first and second point when drawing the pitchfork as many as possible. This will give it more stability.

The way that the Pitchfork lines are extended is different than other Chart Drawings. We will see if we can use the same method for it.

Cool, look forward to it working better. I use them all the time and don't want to be using another charting software along side Sierra Chart.
About the amount of bars, that can't be helped much since I use micro and mini forks, which always have rather close bar spacing.
Being able to stack forks or have a "make fork parallel" option would be nice as well, since I stack them a good amount too, like so:

Regarding stacking, to accomplish this, use the Copy and Move Drawing function which would keep the shape and allow you to stack them next to each other.

Of course, that's what I do. The lines still go wonky a lot. I can post pics or a video if you want. In fact it's doing it right now : )

We will have a new release out later today with a change and we will want to see if that solves the problem with the pitchfork drawings.

Very nice! I hope I'm not just being a snob and asking for the impossible. I may just have to draw separate forks for each timeframe at the very least.

I'm not sure if you've gotten this added to the pre-release yet but the Pitchfork does seem to be doing a few strange things. Depending on the resolution of candles it seems to not extend, extend 1 or 2 lines, or extend all lines. See pictures attached. This is all with Options>>Extend>>Extend Multiplier 0

Provide us a Chartbook with a single chart with a single Pitchfork drawing demonstrating the problem.

Here are instructions:

Here is one. Just Zoom in and out with the scroll wheel to re-create what I'm talking about on the 60m.

This should be solved in the next release.
