📈 Williams Alligator Indicator

Developed by legendary trader Bill Williams, the Alligator Indicator is a combination of three smoothed moving averages which represent the behaviour of an alligator helping to predict market trends :


Jaw (Blue Line) — 13-period SMMA shifted 8 bars into the future


Teeth (Red Line) — 8-period SMMA shifted 5 bars into the future


Lips (Green Line) — 5-period SMMA shifted 3 bars into the future


These lines represent the behavior of an alligator which is a metaphor for market trends. When the three lines are very close to each other, the alligator is sleeping, indicating a consolidating or sideways market. When they spread apart and move in a particular direction, the alligator is awake and ready to make a new trend or continue the existing one.


🔍 Using the Alligator Indicator

At MHV Education, the Best stock market Institute in Dehradun, we teach our students how to use the Alligator indicator to:


1. Identify Market Trends

When the lips cross over the teeth and jaw, it signals that a new trend is about to begin and a trader should be actively watching the markets.


A bullish trend begins when the green line is above the red and blue.


A bearish trend forms when the green is below the red and blue.


2. Avoid Ranging Markets

When the lines are close or twisted, the alligator is “sleeping,” and traders should avoid entering trades.


This prevents getting trapped in false breakouts or sideways movements.


3. Confirm Trade Entries

The Alligator indicator works well when paired with other tools like RSI or MACD.


Always use this tool if you really want to be an efficient Intraday trader.
