About Alligator EA

The Alligator EA family for MetaTrader 4/5 — including the AW Alligator EA (MQL5 Market, product/76547) and the community-built "Profitable AlligatorEA" (fxtradingrevolution.com) — is built around the classic Bill Williams Alligator indicator, a standard MT4 indicator that uses three smoothed, offset moving averages (nicknamed Jaw, Teeth, and Lips) to identify trend direction and potential entry/exit points.

The AW Alligator EA is a fully automated trading robot that trades directly on the signals of the classic Alligator indicator — when the three lines "open their mouth" (separate and align), it signals a strengthening trend; when they intertwine ("sleep"), it signals a ranging/non-trending market to avoid.

Platform: MetaTrader 4/5
Strategy: Based on the Bill Williams Alligator indicator (Jaw/Teeth/Lips moving averages)
Signal logic: Lines separating = trending (trade), lines intertwined = ranging (avoid)
Version: 2025 v1.1 (thetradelovers.com build) / MQL5 Market version also available

⚠ Backtest and demo test any specific version extensively before live use — implementations vary in quality between vendors
