Three smoothed averages, each shifted forward, from Bill Williams.
Jaw (13, shifted 8), teeth (8, shifted 5) and lips (5, shifted 3). Intertwined lines mean the market sleeps; lines fanning out mean a trend is feeding.
Worked out by the same code the builder uses, on stored daily candles. Move a setting and the line moves with it. This is what happened, not what will happen.
Gate: Alligator lips is above Alligator teeth.
The shift is what makes it readable, and also what makes it late: the lines you see are built on older candles.
