    About The Trading Indicators

    The bollinger-squeeze-with-macd.ex4 custom indicator is built on signals from the stochastics, cci, rsi, macd and Bollinger Bands indicator.

    It is used to gauge trend direction, along with price volatility.

    The r-gator-indicator.ex4 is known to take after the Alligator MT4 indicator (as they show comparable values for the MA periods).

    However, the r-gator-indicator produces its signal a bit earlier than the Alligator.
