[@emmalawrence1209]

thank you sir, its really worth the time

[@deodorodafonseca8035]

Thank you for the video with the easy to understand explanation. Sensational!

[@maveri.k]

Thank you, didn't know abt it, will check it out! I use the EMA 5,10,20 crossovers and looks pretty similar.

[@partyfavors9238]

Maverick I agree!

[@gilsgarageofficial]

This was great, thank you! You explained it well.

[@FuturesBrizio]

Issue I have with this is you may see the alligator open and feeding going up for example on a M15 chart but the H1-H4 may be flat or in a downtrend. So that creates a lot of conflict. Any thoughts on that?

[@stijn197]

15 min. candles are way more influenced by momentum. If a trend shows in higher timeframes, it can be seen as a bigger confirmation that it is actually in a bullish/bearish trend.

[@mohmedishaaq1771]

see 1:03 on how to put the Alligator indicator.

[@jojo-po7or]

[@msbj3745]

What is the time interval of your chart

[@bladycivilian]

Question! ... for lot of stocks near RSI value of 70, if I place MACD against Alligator indicator, MACD is almost crossing in negative indicating selling trend ahead while Alligator mouth is still wide open. why is that? doesn't that indicate buying trend. (Lips, teeth and jaw are in positive arrangement). Help me anyone

[@partyfavors9238]

Hassan Sultan interesting point

[@bossbrown7169]

[@marcsalamoun1112]

Hello, fantastic explanation, thank you. But I have a question if any gentleman can explain, I really not getting the settings of the indicators. What are periods? What are shifts? What does it mean if I smooth a balance line? what does it man if I decrease the periods and shifts? Thanks for any explanation in advance.

Can you use this in any timeframe ?

[@partyfavors9238]

Fernando Alejandre To my knowledge. Yes!

[@partyfavors9238]

Fernando Alejandre I’m also studying up on how to use this Strategy and I’ve heard good things about it too. You just have to practice with it and you’ll learn how to exit and enter trades.

[@ifoodieTV]

Aren't these like Bollinger Bands?

[@The-Goldenrule-MYODB]

It's a pretty good indicator but indicators always predict the past so u not cutting profits on time, that's one reason I don't use them

[@rolandk3061]

what kind of indicators do you use? I like moving averages because you can still make profit with lower risk

[@partyfavors9238]

YAMIR BROOKS Not necessarily true. If you know how to use what indicators you’re using and how it functions you’ll be okay. To my knowledge!
