iGator

Calculates the Gator oscillator and returns its value.

double  iGator(
   string       symbol,            // symbol
   int          timeframe,         // timeframe
   int          jaw_period,        // Jaw line period
   int          jaw_shift,         // Jaw line shift
   int          teeth_period,      // Teeth line period
   int          teeth_shift,       // Teeth line shift
   int          lips_period,       // Lips line period
   int          lips_shift,        // Lips line shift
   int          ma_method,         // MA averaging method
   int          applied_price,     // applied price
   int          mode,              // line index
   int          shift              // shift
   );

Parameters

symbol

[in] Symbol name on the data of which the indicator will be calculated. NULL means the current symbol.

timeframe

[in] Timeframe. It can be any of ENUM_TIMEFRAMES enumeration values. 0 means the current chart timeframe.

jaw_period

[in] Blue line averaging period (Alligator’s Jaw).

jaw_shift

[in] Blue line shift relative to the chart.

teeth_period

[in] Red line averaging period (Alligator’s Teeth).

teeth_shift

[in] Red line shift relative to the chart.

lips_period

[in] Green line averaging period (Alligator’s Lips).

lips_shift

[in] Green line shift relative to the chart.

ma_method

[in] MA method. It can be any of Moving Average method enumeration value.

applied_price

[in] Applied price. It can be any of Applied price enumeration values.

mode

[in] Indicator line index. It can be any of Indicators line identifiers enumeration value.

MODE_UPPER - upper histogram, MODE_LOWER - lower histogram.

shift

[in] Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago).

Returned value

Numerical value of the Gator oscillator.

Note

The oscillator displays the difference between the Alligator red and blue lines (the upper histogram) and that between red and green lines (the lower histogram).

Example:

double diff=iGator(NULL,0,13,8,8,5,5,3,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_UPPER,1);
