A unique use of fractal geometry and nonlinear dynamics is used to create the method of calculations for the Gator Indicator. Used in combination with the Alligator, which is an Overlay Indicator, the Gator has been proven to be somewhat effective at pinpointing large market trends.
The Gator was created on a relative scale, so what seems to be a large move in the market today may well be just a small move on the historical scale, since the Gator graphically represents itself only against its own historical price line. As the market trends, the Gator will also trend, causing historical representations of market momentum and movement to pale in comparison.
No Buy/Sell Signals are generated by the Gator Indicator; its primary design is to help pinpoint momentum moves within any given market.
