Purpose: The Enhanced Alligator Trend Indicator aims to identify strong and reliable buy and sell signals on the price chart by combining the Alligator Indicator with trend strength and volume filters. It is specifically designed for use on a 1-minute chart to enhance precision in short-term trading decisions.

Components:

Alligator Indicator:

Jaw Line (Blue): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over a specified period (default: 13 bars). Represents the long-term trend.
Teeth Line (Red): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over a shorter period (default: 8 bars). Represents the medium-term trend.
Lips Line (Green): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over an even shorter period (default: 5 bars). Represents the short-term trend.
Trend Strength Indicator:

Relative Strength Index (RSI): Measures the strength of the current trend, using a default period of 14 bars. RSI values above 50 suggest a bullish trend, while values below 50 suggest a bearish trend.
Volume Filter:

Volume Threshold: Filters signals based on trading volume to ensure they only appear when volume exceeds a specified threshold (default: 100,000). This helps to avoid low-volume noise and enhance signal reliability.
Additional Trend Filters:

Short-Term SMA: A simple moving average with a default period of 20 bars, used to assess short-term trend direction.
Long-Term SMA: A simple moving average with a default period of 50 bars, used to assess long-term trend direction.
SMA Crossover: A bullish crossover occurs when the short-term SMA is above the long-term SMA, and a bearish crossover occurs when the short-term SMA is below the long-term SMA.
Signal Generation:

Buy Signal: Generated when:

The Lips line is above the Teeth line, and the Teeth line is above the Jaw line (indicating a bullish alignment in the Alligator Indicator).
The RSI is above 50 (indicating strong bullish trend strength).
The trading volume exceeds the specified volume threshold (indicating sufficient trading activity).
The short-term SMA is above the long-term SMA (confirming a bullish trend).
Sell Signal: Generated when:

The Lips line is below the Teeth line, and the Teeth line is below the Jaw line (indicating a bearish alignment in the Alligator Indicator).
The RSI is below 50 (indicating strong bearish trend strength).
The trading volume exceeds the specified volume threshold (indicating sufficient trading activity).
The short-term SMA is below the long-term SMA (confirming a bearish trend).
Plotting on Chart:

Alligator Lines: The Jaw, Teeth, and Lips lines are plotted directly on the price chart in blue, red, and green, respectively, to indicate the long-term, medium-term, and short-term trends.
Buy/Sell Signals: Buy signals are plotted below the price bars in green, and sell signals are plotted above the price bars in red. These signals are marked with labels ("BUY" and "SELL") to clearly indicate trading opportunities.
Debugging: RSI and SMA lines are plotted but hidden by default. They can be revealed for verification purposes to ensure the correctness of the indicator’s calculations.
Alerts:

Buy Alert: Triggers when a buy signal condition is met, sending a notification that a buy opportunity has been identified.
Sell Alert: Triggers when a sell signal condition is met, sending a notification that a sell opportunity has been identified.
