You can learn how to use Alligator indicator in the article: Alligator indicator – How to use and trade in IQ Option.
How to enter a trade
Remember: Trend is your friend.
Uptrend => Only open HIGHER options.
Downtrend => Only open LOWER options.
The signal to open options will be the support or resistance zone.
HIGHER = Alligator indicator moves up + Support zone.
Explain: When the price is in an uptrend, there will be temporary decreases to gain momentum and increase later. If the price decreases and touches the support zone, it will bounce back. This is the best, safest opportunity for you to open a HIGHER option with a 15-minute expiration time.
LOWER = Alligator indicator moves down + Resistance zone.
Explain: In a downtrend, price will tend to increase temporarily then bounce back and continue to fall. And when the price increases and hits the resistance zone, it is an opportunity for you to open a LOWER option.
Capital management strategy
This is a trading method that gives you a 60% win rate (10 options – 6 wins). Therefore, a suitable capital management strategy will be Classic. Use the same amount for every option.
It is important that you choose the amount of money you bet on a trade. For professional traders, the amount of money on their trades will be from 2% – 3% of the total capital. For example, the total money they deposit into their IQ Option account is $200. Each option will be from $4 to $6. If you are new, you only need to open $1-$1-$1 trades.
Classic capital management strategy does not give you a high rate of profit. But in return, your capital is always safe. At the same time, the money you earn will increase steadily over time.
Some rules you need to keep in mind
Identifying trends is the first and the most important thing. If you can’t do it, don’t open any trades.
You should use long-time trades. For example: If you observe a 5-minute Japanese candle chart, the expiration time should be from 15 minutes or more. It is because the price will follow the trend in the long term.
When you have reached the maximum number of options in a day or gained a suitable profit, you should stop. Options is a very rough game. As soon as you are greed and let emotions overwhelm your mind, you will lose money for sure.
