Bill Williams indicators
Gator Oscillator
Shows the Alligator's mood as bars: how far apart its three lines are, above and below a zero line.
La idea en pocas palabras
When the Alligator's lines spread apart, a trend is under way; when they come together, the market rests. Gator draws those distances as bars so the phases are easy to see.
Cómo se calcula
Upper bars: the distance between Jaw and Teeth. Lower bars: the distance between Teeth and Lips (drawn below zero). Green when a bar grows, red when it shrinks.
Upper = |Jaw − Teeth|
Lower = −|Teeth − Lips|Cómo usarlo
- Red bars on both sides: sleeping (no trend). Green on both: eating (strong trend).
- Mixed colours: the alligator is waking up or getting full; watch for a phase change.
Sacar conclusiones
- Gator does not show direction; check the Alligator or the price for that.
Ejemplo
After a long series of red bars, both sides turn green and grow: a trend has begun.
