IQ Option are back with a new indicator guide that can help your trades – Alligator Described by IQ Option as a “Trend-Craving Carnivore”, it is another indicator that may have a strange name but is not to be underestimated and could be a crucial tool to assist your trading activity. Specifically, it can help you identify periods of high market volatility that you can use to determine your entry and exit points. [cta text='Visit IQ Option' href='/out/iqoption'] The indicator is made up of three moving average lines that align perfectly with one another – known as the jaw, teeth and lip. These breakdown of these as standard are as follows: 1) The Alligator’s Jaw (red) is a 13-period SMA, moved into the future by 8 bars; 2) The Alligator’s Teeth (orange) is an 8-period SMA, moved into the future by 5 bars; 3) The Alligator’s Lips (yellow) is a 5-period SMA, moved into the future by 3 bars. The rule of thumb when considering these lines is that they will be close together during a flat market and further apart when a trend becomes obvious. However, there is a fair bit more to it than that and you should refer to IQ Option for the full details, as well as to check out some of their other guides.
