The alligator strategy is a strategy that can be used in the money market / capital market. In this text referring to the Forex market.
The alligator strategy consists of an alligator that eat and sleep.
When the alligator is a sleep the mouth of the alligator is close and the currency rate is falling. Vice versa when the alligator is awake the mouth of the alligator is open. In other words the alligator is ready to eat and the currency rate curve is rising.
The Forex trading strategy consists of the alligator’s chaps teethes and lips. The chaps, teethes and lips are represented in the currency rate curve as three lines. The blue line is the alligator’s chap, the red line is the alligator’s teethes and the green line is the alligator’s lips.
The lines represent the following values

If the blue line is the highest line there is an indication that the curve is rising and reverses if the blue line is the lowest there is an indication that the curve is falling.
If there is an indication that that the curve will fall the blue line will be the highest line, the red line the next highest line and the green line the lowest line.
If there is an indication that the curve will rise the green line will be the highest curve, the red line the next highest curve and the blue line the lowest curve.
Some comments about the lines
When a change in the lines starts the green line starts to change first then the red line and last the blue line. The gap between the green and the red line indicate if the curve is continuing rising or falling. The bigger the gap is the stronger is the indication that the curve is continuing rising or falling.
