You have to use Moving Averages Crossover indicator to simulate alligator.
Alligator Jaw is a Smoothed MA (Period 13, Shift 8) based on the Median price.
Teeth is MA (8, 5)
Lips is MA (5, 3)

So for the condition "Back three bars I want the lips to be below the teeth", you can set:

[Opening Logic Condition]
Moving Averages Crossover
The Fast MA is lower than the Slow MA
Base price - Median
Fast MA method - Smoothed
Slow MA method - Smoothed
Fast MA period - 5
Slow MA period - 8
Fast MA shift - 5
Slow MA shift - 7
Use previous bar value - Yes

Here Fast MA is the Lips but shifted with 2 bars. FastMA (period 5, shift 3+2)
Slow MA is Teeth shifted 2 bars also. Slow MA (8, 7)

"second bar bact to have the lips above the teeth"

[Opening Logic Condition]
Moving Averages Crossover
The Fast MA is higher than the Slow MA
Base price - Median
Fast MA method - Smoothed
Slow MA method - Smoothed
Fast MA period - 5
Slow MA period - 8
Fast MA shift - 4
Slow MA shift - 6
Use previous bar value - Yes

"on the current bar for the lips to be above the jaw"

This is: Fast MA (5,3) is higher than Slow MA (13, 8)

The whole strategy will be:

[Opening Point of the Position]
Bar Opening
Enter the market at the beginning of the bar
Base price - Open

[Opening Logic Condition]
Moving Averages Crossover
The Fast MA is higher than the Slow MA
Base price - Median
Fast MA method - Smoothed
Slow MA method - Smoothed
Fast MA period - 5
Slow MA period - 13
Fast MA shift - 3
Slow MA shift - 8
Use previous bar value - Yes

[Closing Point of the Position]
Close and Reverse
Close all positions and open a new one in the opposite direction

I would like to know how to set the bar for an indicator to be based upon. IE I am building a strategy base upon the Aligator indicator. Back three bars I want the lips to be below the theeth and on the second bar bact to have the lips above the teeth and on the current bar for the lips to be above the jaw. This is an example. What I am trying to do is set up an entry point base upon the actoins of an indicator in certain time frames. Also to do this in reverse so I can have an exit strategy also.

Thanks,
