Alligator Pro applies the classic Williams Alligator concept using three moving averages that represent long-term trend, intermediate structure and short-term momentum. The Jaw, Teeth and Lips shift forward to visualise alignment, where separation signals expanding momentum and trend strength, while convergence indicates ranging or resting conditions.

The indicator enhances this with R² adaptive smoothing, allowing the lines to accelerate during strong trends and stabilise in choppy markets. ATR-based gap detection identifies when the Alligator is inactive, while ADX filtering, R² gating and a cooldown system suppress weak or clustered signals.

Visual clarity is improved with optional glow, mouth fill and clean styling, while a 200 EMA alignment badge adds context for higher confidence trend conditions. The result is a more responsive and structured interpretation of trend phases across all timeframes.

Use it to identify trend initiation and continuation by watching the alignment of the Lips, Teeth and Jaw. Separation signals momentum expansion, while tangled lines suggest low-quality conditions. Combine with structure or volume tools to refine entries and manage trends with greater confidence.
