Calculation wise its just 3 Median averages, displaced...
as for interpretation your guess is as good as mine.
sorry.
Sven
Metas*tock style fomula below....
Jaw :=Ref(Wilders(MP(),13),-ShJw);
Teeth := Ref(Wilders(MP(),8),-ShTth);
Lip := Ref(Wilders(MP(),5),-ShLp);
{Chaos Blue BL}
{Alligator Blue Balance Line - Jaw }
{13 bar smoothed average offset 8 bars }
{Chaos Red BL}
{Alligator Red Balance Line - Teeth }
{8 bar smoothed average offset 5 bars }
{Chaos Green BL}
{Alligator Green Balance Line - Lip }
{5 bar smoothed average offset 3 bars }
GatorUp := if(Teeth>Jaw,Teeth-Jaw,Jaw-Teeth);
GatorDn := if(Jaw<Lip,Jaw-Lip,Lip-Jaw);
{ Chaos Alligator }
GatorUpGr:=If(GatorUp>Ref( GatorUp,-1) , GatorUp,0 );
GatorUpRed:=If(GatorUp<Ref( GatorUp,-1) , GatorUp,0 );
GatorDnGr:=If(GatorDn<Ref(GatorDn,-1) , GatorDn,0 );
GatorDnRed:=If(GatorDn>Ref(GatorDn,-1) , GatorDn,0 );
{ Plot as histogram }

Gator Oscillator is featured on a Russian software program, MetaTrader. Depending on how desperately you need to know, you may want to phone a company in Cyprus called Windsor Brokers who sell an English language version of the MetaTrader program, and no doubt they should be able to tell you as it is featured on the product they sell. Their phone number is +357 25 587171

Isn't this the Bill Williams "Chaos" trading system?
The Blue line (Jaw) is the balance line for the time frame the chart is showing; Red (Teeth) one significant timfe frame lower and; Green (Lips) one more significant time frame lower.

Off topic, but a great quote from a motor-biking friend of mine when encountering a 'situation which challenged his skills to the extreme' - "I never knew adrenaline was brown...".twalker said:

As with all trading systems Pervaz, I'm interested. I try them out. Primarily to see what 'other' connections they bring forth.Pervaz said:
It's not just the Alligator stuff though, there's momentum and oscillator stuff in there too.
I did work out some basic (MetaStock back then) inds for it and like all systems, they 'kind of' work 'some of the time'.
After the initial fascination with something new had worn off I didn't carry on using it. I was looking at 23 models/day then (trading EOD) and that was enough.
Life is a LOT simpler now.
See Trading Chaos by Bill M Williams: Gator Oscillator
Bill Williams' set of three moving averages is called the Alligator - when the lines are far apart (good trend) then the Alligator's 'mouth' is open. The shortest time frame moving average is considered to be the 'lips' of the alligator, the next is the 'teeth', and the slowest is the 'jaws'. When the moving average lines cross, the Alligator is 'asleep'.
The Gator is an oscillator histogram, but based on the same moving averages as the Alligator. The upper half of the Gator mirrors the distance between jaws and teeth, while the lower half mirrors the distance between teeth and lips. Thus when the histogram bars are long the Gator's mouth is open (good for trading) and when the histogram bars are short the Gator's mouth is closed (bad for trading).
