GatorOscillator

Description

The Gator Oscillator comprises two histograms showing degree of convergence/divergence of Williams Alligator study plots. The upper histogram represents the difference between values of Jaw and Teeth plots, the lower histogram represents that of Teeth and Lips plots.

Depending on the preceding trend, buying or selling opportunities are suggested when both histograms are at (or very close to) zero level, which conforms to intersection of the three Williams Alligator lines.
