BW-wiseMan: A Semaphore Signal Based on the Alligator Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

BW-wiseMan-1 is described as a semaphore-style signal indicator built on Bill Williams’ Alligator indicator. A semaphore indicator presents signals in a visual marker format, while the stated basis here is the Alligator, a technical tool used to characterize market direction and trend conditions. The document identifies the indicator’s author and notes that an earlier MQL4 version was published in 2008.

The description is very brief and provides no entry or exit rules, explanation of how Alligator values generate markers, parameter details, chart interpretation, or performance testing. It therefore establishes the indicator’s broad design lineage but does not explain how to trade its signals or whether they add value. Any use would require examining the implementation and testing its behavior across instruments and market regimes; the source text itself supplies no evidence of profitability or reliability.

Key ideas

  • BW-wiseMan-1 is a semaphore-style signal indicator.
  • Its signals are based on Bill Williams’ Alligator indicator.
  • The document identifies the author and publication history of an earlier version.
  • No signal rules, settings, or performance evidence are provided.
