Description & Settings
This indicator throws visual and verbose buy/sell signals according to Bill Williams Trading in the Zone methodology and Alligator and MACD.
According to Bill Williams trading in the zone helps to maximize/double/triple profits when the market goes your way, namely, when momentum, acceleration and price confirm that you have strong trend or acceleration period. Armed with this information you can add to positions aggresively.
