Fred, Thanks for the MA shift code....it works great.
I've been reading Bill Williams 3rd book,"Trading Chaos", 2nd edition which defines the Alligator System in great detail. It's also heavy on "Trader Psychology".....even a little "Zen" thrown in. I'm not sure where this is going but it's been a great read. thanks again, .....Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Bill Williams Alligator System II I have no experience with the system ... but to plot the averages beyond the end of prices shift them in the plot statement instead of in the calculation i.e. AlligatorJaw = Wilders(A,13); AlligatorTeeth = Wilders(A,8); AlligatorLips = Wilders(A,5); Plot(AlligatorJaw, "Jaw", ParamColor("Jaw's Color",colorBlue), ParamStyle("Jaw's Style", styleThick),0,0,8); Plot(AlligatorTeeth,"Teeth", ParamColor("Teeth's Color",colorRed), ParamStyle("Teeth's Style", styleThick),0,0,5); Plot(AlligatorLips, "Lips", ParamColor("Lips's Color",colorGreen), ParamStyle("Lips's Style", styleThick),0,0,3); ----- Original Message ----- From: Joseph Platt Date: Thursday, February 26, 2009 2:27 pm Subject: [amibroker] Bill Williams Alligator System II To: [email protected] > > > I wonder if anyone is trading or has traded the Bill Williams > Alligator System II as it exists in the AFL library. > > According to the William's "Profitunity" website, the 3 moving > averages representing the "Jaws", "Teeth", and "Lips" are > supposed to > be shifted into the future 8, 5 and 3 units respectively.
