We switch to the line chart. We will concentrate only on price not candle formation.

We apply indicators in the 15 min chart of any major currency pair.

BUY:

Alligator tunnel FOREX strategy

  • Alligator lines confirming uptrend. Lines are clearly separated, untangled and lined from top to bottom: green, red, blue

  • We will draw only upper tunnel trendline (resistance). We do so by finding three highs, each marked by fractal. Each lower than the previous high. What is most important is, that they are perfectly (or almost perfectly) aligned. All three tops can be connected with single line. Example: We used another line to establish maximum deviation that can be accepted, for three tops to be considered aligned.

  • By connecting those three local highs, downwards sloping resistance is created. We enter the trade on resistance breakout, placing stop loss just below the formation low.

  • To establish low of the partial tunnel, we switch to the candle chart for a moment.

  • Take profit: We exit the position in profit once green alligator line crosses red line from above.

SELL:
