Williams Alligator BuySell Indicator 外汇EA

“Capture the sleeping and waking alligator.” Detect trend entrance/exit conditions – this indicator can also be tuned according to your trading style. You can adjust a confidence parameter to reduce false positives (but capture less of the trend).

This is based on a modification of the Alligator indicator by Bill Williams, an early pioneer of market psychology. 

2 main strategies: either the “conservative” approach to more frequently make profitable trades (at a lower profit), or the “high returns” approach to capture larger segments of a price movement but at higher risk for losing trades.

The Williams Alligator BuySell indicator follows the premise that financial markets trend only 15-30% of the time, and grinds through sideways ranges the rest of the time. Williams believed that individuals tend to collect most of their profits during strongly trending periods, and emphasized trading those. This indicator adds some extra features / variations from the traditional Alligator.

How to Use

The Conservative Approach: 

• Enter when trend fill changes colors: “Buy” (orange by default) or a “Sell” (blue by default)
• Exit when the price candlestick enters into the colored fill area (e.g., for a Buy, candlesticks are above the orange fill.. exit when the candlesticks cross down into the orange fill)

The “High Returns” Approach: 

• Enter when trend fill changes colors
• Exit when trend color moves into grey (sideways movement)
• e.g., Buy when trend fill is orange, exit when trend fill changes to be grey

Changing sensitivity:

• Decrease the C parameter to make the indicator more sensitive to trends
• Note: the C parameter should be decreased at smaller timeframes

Early alerts:

• Before the Williams Alligator BuySell fill changes colors, an up/down arrow will be painted as an early warning indicator that we’re about to move into a trendy period
• Trades can be made using the up/down early warning arrow (rather than the colored fill). This will capture more of the trend, but at higher risk of a false positive

Alerts

Message, sound, and email alerts can be activated when the trend moves upward or downward. Early warning arrows can be turned on/off in Parameters.
