The essence of the indicator:
The Alligator indicator consists of three moving averages.The jaw is long sliding (blue), the teeth are medium sliding (red) and the lips are fast sliding (green). The indicator helps to determine the presence of a trend, as well as its direction.
The trend is up when green is on top, red below and then blue. When blue is on top, then red, green below is a downtrend. When the indicator lines are intertwined, there is no pronounced trend, the market is in a flat.
Strategy:
When the indicator shows that the trend has started and is confirmed, the EA will open an order in continuation of the current direction.
That is, the adviser trades with the trend. During one trend, the adviser can open the first order only once. That is, after one order or one grid is closed, the adviser will not open new orders until the trend changes direction.
After changing the direction of the trend, the EA will open orders in the opposite direction.
Exit from a position:
After the adviser opens an order:
1 - If the position goes in a profitable direction, then the trailing stop is activated. The position will be closed using the smart trailing system.
2 - If the position is losing money, then the averaging function is applied using pending orders.
Note! The indicator lines are not displayed in the EA!
