Osci,

The question I had is, what makes any particular points valid for drawing a pitchfork? I've never seen anyone define what are valid pivot points to be used. It seems that by chance some just seem to work, but more often they don't.

If I understood the points you looked at for ABTE, they're based on a rather short time frame, which says to me that they are of less significance than ones that could be built over a longer time frame.

Doesn't the red pitchfork in this chart show abte to still be in a downward channel? members.tripod.com
Not that I believe it, just arguing that these channels seem pretty arbitrary.

Anyway, look at this chart of ABTE with the trendlines I added.

A somewhat better picture, but I still wouldn't touch the stock unless I believed its' fundamental problems had been fixed and there was some upward movement on good volume.
