Alligator Technical Indicator

This indicator was designed to detect market trends by reading the distance between three moving averages. The Alligator is a very dynamic and easy to use technical indicator. It was discovered by Bill Williams who presented it in the book Trading Chaos (published 1995 by Marketplace Books, Inc.). This is a powerful indicator that combines moving averages, nonlinear dynamics and fractal theory in a technical indicator that is widely used by traders for confirmation of market trends in many financial markets such as Forex.
 

Most of the time, the market remains stationary. In fact, it is estimated that only 15 -30 percent of the time, the market moves with a clear trend either up or down, which are the periods when most traders take their profits. For this reason, the famous Bill Williams sought to develop an indicator that would serve precisely to provide entry signals in the periods when the market is most active, mainly those in which the price moves with a definite trend.

Fractals Indicator – How to use the Fractals Indicator?

What are fractals?

Fractal geometry, defined by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot,  is a geometric figure that can be decomposed into parts, each one of these parts identical on a smaller scale to the original figure. However, the “fractal finance” applied to technical analysis is a geometric pattern that can be observed regardless of the time frame used, either 1 hour, 30, 15 or 1 minute. There are some books on this subject and one of the most popular is “Trading Chaos” that was written by Dr. Bill Williams. In this book, Dr. Williams entered two important concepts, the  “Fractal UP” and “Down Fractal”,  which can be used as support and resistance respectively.  When both formations are crossed by the price, that indicate new levels for prices in both bull and bear markets.

The “Fractal Up” (it indicates a possible resistance), defined by Williams (Using a bar chart) is one pattern where the central bar has a maximum price that is greater than the maximum of the two bars to the right and higher than the maximum of the two bars on the left. On the other hand, the “Fractal Down” (it indicates a  possible support) is one pattern where the central bar has a minimum price that is less than the minimum of the two bars to the right and less than minimum of two bars on the left. We can observe the ideal fractal in the image:

The Awesome Oscillator of Bill Williams

The Awesome Oscillator (AO) is a technical indicator developed by Bill Williams which determines market momentum (the second of the five dimensions of the market according to Williams) at a specific time based on the last five bars, which momentum is compared with the momentum of the last 34 bars.

In this way the Awesome Oscillator is simply the difference between the simple moving average of 34 periods and the simple moving average of 5 periods which are calculated based on the midpoints of the bars (High + Low) / 2. The Awesome is displayed on the graph as a histogram:

Bearish Deliberation Candlestick Pattern

The candlestick pattern Deliberation Bearish is a trend reversal formation of 3 candles which occurs in uptrends and indicates that there is a probability of a change to a bearish trend. This pattern has an average level of reliability and can be identified as follows:
  • This formation is presented in uptrends.
  • In the first two periods white candles are formed with long real bodies. In the second period, the closing price is higher than the closing price of the first period.
  • The opening of the third candle occurs near the end of the second candle.
  • In the third period we can see a candle with a small real body, usually a shooting star or a spinning top which opens with a gap on the previous candle.
