This system could be easily called alligator bounce scalping forex strategy 2.0. However, it is not better (it might be in some aspects) but it is different. The liquidation model was modified to try to find the best possible time for closing with profit, while still protecting each entry with trailing stop. Once again, this is a strategy that produced some amazing results in our historical data tests.

In short: We use alligator with high calculation period to identify trend. Once we do so we look for BB tunnel bounce. We understand bounce as price briefly penetrating the tunnel only to return back within to continue to move in trend direction.
We use trailing stop for protection (advanced, bollinger band based). In this trading system, we will also use RSI indicator to try and time the best possible price for exit.
The system was tested in over 13 years of historical data (Tick 1H EURUSD chart since 2003). Test is pretty accurate as it uses candle close for the entry.
Used tools and indicators
Alligator (600,400,250) The main trend identification tools. All trades must follow the trend when entered.
Bollinge bands (BB period 40, deviation 1) Volatility dependent tunnel will be used to identify the bounce. Period and deviation of BB can be easily manipulated to adapt it any time frame and currency pair.
Relative strength index (RSI 42,primarily closing method). We will be looking for RSI to enter and leave
overbought/oversold zone. As this signalizes possible reversal, we will exit all of our winning trade for adequate direction.
Trailing stop (extra deviation for trail stop 80 pips): It will be based on bollinger band that bounced the price of our position.
