Williams Alligator
Williams Alligator: The Williams Alligator is a trend-following indicator that uses smoothed Moving Averages to analyze market trends. It is based on the idea that financial markets and individual securities trend less frequently than they move sideways. Developed with the understanding that both institutions and individuals generally profit more when a market is trending strongly, the Williams Alligator helps identify such trends.
