Alligator star FOREX strategy

Forex strategy utilizing combination of moving averages represented by single forex indicator – alligator, and trusted candle formations: morning and evening star. This chart formation together with statistical advantage provided by trading with moving average crossing offers a great entry signal with extremely favorable risk reward ratio.

This is ensured by using alligator to ride the trend as formation alone cannot provide good enough profit target (as it is entry formation).

For the best results, trade with professional ECN/STP broker with MT4. If you can't trade with profit. Automatically copy the traders that are already profitable.

Used forex indicators:

Alligator forex indicator (26,16,1): Properly aligned alligator line will provide us with information regarding the trend direction. Fast MA (green) will notice us on trend losing momentum and enables us to exit the trade with profit.
