energy and force combination momentum the phase聽 energy deceleration acceleration the phase force聽聽
[163]
balance line odd attractors i could go聽 on for quite a while about bill williams聽聽
[169]
but the important part to note about all of this聽 is that his analysis and perspective of the market聽聽
[173]

[195]
standard on your trading platform i do聽 like each of these six indicators but after聽聽
[200]
extensive research and testing putting together聽 the alligator and fractal indicator not only was聽聽
[205]
the easiest way to trade with his indicators but聽 are extremely powerful with the right strategy聽聽
[211]
now let's dive into the strategy this strategy is聽 based on two indicators designed by bill williams聽聽
[216]
and included in most trading terminals by default聽 one fractals two alligator how does fractal聽聽
[223]
indicator work well these are simply arrows that聽 are on top or below the candles on the chart聽聽
[229]
essentially these indicators can be used for聽 various purposes including identifying support聽聽
[234]
and resistance levels determining trade entry聽 and exit points and determining market trend聽聽
[240]
these fractals are formed when five聽 repeated bars align in a distinct manner聽聽
[244]
you need the fifth bar to close to聽 discover the highest high or lowest low聽聽
[248]
we will go more into detail about this indicator聽 and show you how to use alligator indicator聽聽
[254]
you can find the fractal indicator on mt4 mt5聽 or other popular trading platforms there is no聽聽
[261]
need to have to run a fractal indicator download聽 because it will already be there for you how does聽聽
[266]
the alligator indicator work this indicator聽 consists of three specific moving averages聽聽
[273]
the 13 period line is called the alligator's聽 jaw blue color the eight period line is called聽聽
[278]
the alligator's teeth red color the five period聽 line is called the alligator's lips green color聽聽
[283]
we will go more into this indicator in a bit聽 each of these lines has a specific name this聽聽
[290]
is because we will reference them later on in聽 the strategy the indicator is based on three聽聽
[295]
essential aspects of the alligator's life sleep聽 hunger and satisfaction if the beast is asleep聽聽
[301]
or satisfied the moving averages will move close聽 to one another suggesting lack of market activity聽聽
[307]
if the beast wakes up the moving averages聽 will start to move away from one another聽聽
[311]
suggesting the start of a new trend this聽 is the right time to initiate trades聽聽
[316]
in a market trending upwards where the jaws聽 are at the bottom while the teeth and lips are聽聽
[320]
on top it indicates buying opportunities聽 in a market trending downwards where the聽聽
[325]
jaws are at the top while the teeth and lips聽 are below it indicates selling opportunities聽聽
[331]
if the alligator indicator is showing an uptrend聽 for by positions to be valid fractals should聽聽
[336]
appear on candlesticks above the alligator teeth聽 also price action should be above the teeth for a聽聽
[341]
minimum of five successive candlesticks if the聽 alligator indicator is showing a downtrend for聽聽
[347]
cell positions to be valid fractals should聽 appear on candlesticks below the alligator聽聽
[352]
teeth also price action should be below the teeth聽 for a minimum of five successive candlesticks
[360]
how to trade with fractal and alligator strategy聽 step number one apply both fractals and bill聽聽
[366]
williams alligator indicator on your chart聽 the first step you are going to want to do聽聽
[370]
is of course throw these important indicators on聽 your charts as i have said they do come standard聽聽
[376]
on every trading platform that i am aware of聽 so this should be very simple for you to do聽聽
[381]
once you do this your chart will look like this聽 perfect step number two identify where the fractal聽聽
[388]
has formed above or below alligator teeth note聽 in this video we are using a by trade entry so聽聽
[393]
all of these rules will be for a by entry okay聽 so let's get into what the fractals are all about聽聽
[400]
the fractals indicate a bottom or a top the聽 basic fractal indicator is composed of a very聽聽
[406]
minimum of five bars so when you see a fractal聽 here is what may have happened for it to appear聽聽
[411]
there were a series of at least five successive聽 bars with the highest high in the middle and then聽聽
[415]
the two lower highs are on both sides there was聽 a reversing series of at least five successive聽聽
[421]
bars when the lowest low is in the middle and聽 the two higher lows were on both sides which聽聽
[425]
forms a cell fractal fractals can appear with聽 only one candle to the right of it but be aware聽聽
[430]
that this is an unconfirmed fractal because聽 the price action may pierce through the level聽聽
[435]
the fractals have what's called a high and a low聽 value this is indicated by the up or down arrows聽聽
[442]
for example here are the unique聽 alligator indicator lines on the chart聽聽
[446]
now you need to be aware of where the fractals聽 are being placed on the candles for this strategy聽聽
[450]
concerning this special indicator here is the聽 fractal that we want to take special note of聽聽
[456]
i drew a circle on this specific up fractal聽 this up fractal appeared on this candle above聽聽
[461]
the red line or the alligator teeth this is聽 criteria number two for the fractal strategy聽聽
[467]
in a by trade the fractal must appear on a聽 candle above the red line alligator teeth聽聽
[472]
what is happening here is that the fractal forms聽 a new height of the previous fractal and therefore聽聽
[476]
made an up fractal appear on the candles in聽 order to go to step number three for a bite聽聽
[481]
trade the fractal must show an up fractal聽 and be appearing above the alligator teeth聽聽
[487]
step number three the price action聽 must stay above the alligator teeth聽聽
[490]
for at least five consecutive candles in by聽 trade this is where all the magic happens聽聽
[496]
more often than not when a fractal appears like聽 the one above the price action is still flat聽聽
[501]
this means there has not been a real breakout in聽 the recent time frame the reason this strategy has聽聽
[506]
to wait for at least five consecutive candles聽 is that this is the time where either there is聽聽
[510]
pullback that is forming a reversal may be forming聽 or the price action is still consolidating in a聽聽
[515]
flat market any one of those does not sound聽 pleasant if you are looking for a big upward聽聽
[520]
bullish move to form on the chart step number聽 four price action need to break above fractal聽聽
[525]
candle that was distinguished in step number two聽 once you see that five consecutive candles did not聽聽
[530]
make a drastic move to the downside and stay聽 in between the high of the fractal candle and聽聽
[535]
the alligator teeth then we go ahead and make an聽 entry order you can make an entry this way or if聽聽
[540]
you are sitting in front of your charts live with聽 this occurs then you can make a market order also聽聽
[546]
either one is okay to do because the same criteria聽 is needed here is what it will look like as you聽聽
[552]
can see i marked where our original fractal was聽 discovered what happened after was that there were聽聽
[557]
five or more candles that appeared that did not聽 drift down to the alligator teeth the alligator聽聽
[562]
lines did not cross and the price action finally聽 broke above the fractal candle thus triggering a
[566]
trade
[610]
step number five take profit targets and stop loss聽聽
[614]
you can try variations to this strategy as far聽 as the take profit and stop loss is concerned聽聽
[619]
exit the trade when two of the聽 alligator lines cross over each other聽聽
[624]
this most likely means the alligator is going聽 back to sleep and the price action will either聽聽
[628]
head the other way or consolidate place your聽 stop loss below prior support resistance areas聽聽
[635]
this will give you the best opportunity to salvage聽 a trade if the price action would to turn on you聽聽
[639]
and turn into a bearish trend it may bounce off聽 these areas and head back in a bullish direction聽聽
[645]
in this video we've seen the by entry criteria聽聽
[649]
a cell entry criteria would be the聽 exact same rules only the opposite聽聽
[654]
sell trade steps step number one apply both聽 fractals and bill williams alligator indicator聽聽
[659]
on your chart step number two a down fractal must聽 appear below alligator teeth and the price action聽聽
[664]
must stay below the alligator teeth for at least聽 five consecutive candles step number three price聽聽
[670]
action need to break below fractal candle that聽 was distinguished in step number two and then sell聽聽
[676]
step number four exit the trade when two of the聽 alligator lines cross over each other these basic聽聽
[682]
fractal trading techniques should lead you in the聽 right direction if you have been searching for a聽聽
[686]
great strategy to use with these indicators there聽 are many different strategies you can use with聽聽
[691]
these indicators but in our experience we like聽 this combination of the bill williams indicators聽聽
[697]
many argue that every indicator is lagging and聽 rarely show you profitable entries the fractal聽聽
[703]
trading strategy uses the combination of price聽 action analysis that complements these great聽聽
[707]
indicators so if you are one of the skeptics give聽 this strategy a try and let us know your results聽聽
