MMM Classic Alligator Strategy EA

This EA uses an Alligator indicator and has a classic strategy to trade as the Alligators Jaw, Teeth and Lips calculation results are compared each tick. This way, the EA opens orders at right moment and closes the orders as it reaches the right profit value.

• minimum equity percentage to limit your risks. You may limit your investments and restrict it to a certain percentage of your money;
• Stop Out level to close all your pending orders after reaching a certain equity percentage low level. Some brokers do not do it automatically.
• limits the number of pending orders. This way you will not bankrupt your account with too many pending orders.
• Bad Time to Trade where you define the hours the EA should not trade (order open time).
