Divergences

How to REALLY Trade Divergences (One of My Favorite Entries)This tutorial might be short, but it is packed with potent information on how to REALLY trade divergences. Divergences are one of the BEST ways to catch market reversals. However, from what I have seen, most people do not have a real process for determining when a divergence is actually confirmed/triggered, and then how to determine targets based on the divergence setup. In other words, most people don't have a plan for trading divergence. This video will give you a full plan (Setup/Trigger/Follow Through) for trading divergences. I give full credit to Jake Bernstein, as this is a concept that I learned from him. He is one of the all time greats, and very worth your time to check out. I hope you found this video insightful. Have a great week.

Range Trading - The Breakfast Feast Picture yourself at a lavish breakfast buffet, where a wide array of options tempts your taste buds. Similarly, range trading in the gold market offers a delectable spread of trading opportunities. By identifying key support and resistance levels , you can effectively navigate within a defined price range. Just as you would choose from a buffet, traders can enter buy positions near support and sell positions near resistance. Deciphering Trends - The Path to Success In the golden realm, trends serve as beacons of guidance for traders. Analyzing price movements over time helps uncover valuable insights into the direction of the market. By identifying uptrends, downtrends, or sideways trends , strategies can be aligned accordingly. Utilizing tools like moving averages and trend lines, may create a clearer picture of the market's path, allowing you to ride the waves of success. Breakouts - Seizing the Golden Moments Just as a phoenix rises from the ashes, breakouts in the gold market signify the birth of new opportunities. Breakouts occur when the price breaches a significant resistance or support level, often indicating a shift in market sentiment. Trades will be positioned to take advantage of these golden moments by entering in the direction of the breakout. However, it is crucial to denote confluences and employ proper risk management techniques or wait for confirmation before diving into the fray. Correlations - Unveiling Hidden Connections The gold market is not an isolated realm; it is intricately connected to other financial markets. Understanding correlations between gold and other assets can provide valuable insights. For instance, a negative correlation with the U.S. dollar may indicate that a weaker dollar could lead to increased gold prices. By monitoring these relationships and recognizing their impact, you can make more informed decisions and maximize profit potential. Retesting - A Second Chance In the golden realm, opportunities often come knocking twice. Retesting occurs when a price level that was previously broken acts as a new support or resistance. Traders can capitalize on retests by entering positions in the direction of the original breakout. This phenomenon can provide a second chance to those who missed the initial move or wish to reinforce their existing positions. By identifying and evaluating retesting scenarios, you will enhance your trading strategy and seize these hidden but well-known opportunities. ☆ As we conclude this journey through the golden realm, you could now posses a deeper understanding of the gold market's intricacies.

📊 3 Types Of DivergenceRSI (Relative Strength Index) is a commonly used technical indicator in trading that helps identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It measures the strength and speed of price movements and provides traders with valuable insights into potential trend reversals. When analyzing RSI, three types of divergences can be observed: regular, hidden, and exaggerated divergences. 📍Regular Divergence: Regular divergence occurs when the price and the RSI indicator move in opposite directions. There are two types of regular divergences: bullish and bearish. 📍Hidden Divergence: Hidden divergence refers to a situation where the price and the RSI move in the same direction, but the RSI signals a potential trend continuation rather than a reversal. 📍Exaggerated Divergence: Exaggerated divergence is a type of divergence where the RSI signal extends beyond the typical overbought or oversold levels. It suggests that the price is showing extreme momentum and could potentially experience a significant reversal. In summary, regular, hidden, and exaggerated divergences in RSI analysis provide traders with valuable insights into potential trend reversals and continuations. By understanding these divergences, traders can make more informed decisions regarding their trading strategies and positions in the market. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

☆ The Relative Strenght Index (RSI) # on4 ! ☆The Relative Strength Index (RSI) - is a popular technical indicator used by traders to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. The RSI with a period of 4 is a shorter-term version that can provide more frequent signals. I use RSI 4 effectively following these steps: Understanding RSI Basics: The RSI measures the strength and speed of price movements. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 89 indicating overbought conditions and values below 11 indicating oversold conditions. Identifying Overbought and Oversold Conditions: When the RSI 4 rises above 89, it suggests that the market may be overbought, indicating a potential reversal or a corrective pullback. When the RSI 4 falls below 11, it suggests that the market may be oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity. Confirming Signals with Price Action: While RSI 4 can provide valuable insights, it is important to confirm its signals with other technical indicators or price action. Look for additional confirmation such as trendlines, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns to strengthen the validity of the RSI signals. Divergence Analysis: RSI 4 can also be used to identify bullish or bearish divergences. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while RSI 4 makes a higher low, indicating potential upward momentum. Bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while RSI 4 makes a lower high, suggesting potential downward pressure. Setting Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: Determine appropriate stop-loss levels to protect your trades in case the market moves against you. Set take-profit levels based on your risk-reward ratio and the potential of the trade. Remember, RSI 4 is just one tool in your trading arsenal. It is essential to combine it with other technical indicators, chart patterns, and fundamental analysis for a comprehensive trading strategy. Regularly monitor the performance of RSI 4 in different market conditions and adjust your trading approach accordingly. Note: The use of any technical indicator, including RSI 4, does not guarantee successful trades. It is important to practice risk management, conduct thorough analysis, and make informed trading decisions based on a holistic view of the market. Always remember that no single indicator or strategy can predict market movements with 100% accuracy. Utilize RSI 4 as part of a well-rounded trading methodology, and continually refine your skills and knowledge through experience and ongoing education. HappyForexTrading ☆ J

Trading Divergence Divergence is one of the well-known and widely used methods for determining price reversal areas, whether positive or negative and thus helps to determine entry or exit areas 📉📈 Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction. There is positive and negative divergence. Positive divergence indicates a move higher in the price of the asset is possible. Negative divergence signals that a move lower in the asset is possible. Divergence is one of the many trading methods that we use to build an integrated strategy, and of course, we can use it in any time frame we want ✍️

What Is the Best Divergence Trading Strategy? 👑 What Is Divergence? Divergence is a trading phenomenon that offers reliable and high-quality information regarding trading signals. It refers to when an asset’s price moves in the opposite direction to the momentum indicators or oscillators. Commonly used indicators include the relative strength index (RSI), stochastic oscillator, Awesome Oscillator (AO), and moving average convergence divergence (MACD). Divergence is one of the many concepts that experienced traders use to the time when to enter or exit the market. To say a divergence occurs is to say that the price and momentum are out of sync. This signals that the market is preparing for a trend reversal or pullback, but it does not necessarily guarantee trend directions. There are mainly two types of divergence: 1) Regular divergence is where the price signal creates higher highs or lower lows while the indicator makes lower highs or higher lows respectively. 2) Hidden divergence, which is the opposite of regular divergence, is where the indicator makes higher highs or lower lows while the price action creates lower highs or higher lows respectively. Regular Divergence vs. Hidden Divergence What Is Regular Divergence? Regular divergence can be divided into two types: regular bearish divergence and regular bullish divergence. What is Regular Bearish Divergence? Regular bearish divergence occurs when the price action makes successively higher highs while the indicator makes consecutively lower highs. This suggests that the asset’s price is preparing for a reversal into a downtrend. The indicator signal means that the momentum is changing. Even though the price action has made higher highs, the uptrend may be weak. In this scenario, traders should get ready to go short, i.e., to sell the asset and repurchase it later at a lower price. What is Regular Bullish Divergence? Regular bullish divergence happens when the price action forms progressively lower lows while the indicator creates higher lows. This implies that the prices will move in an upward trend soon. The indicator action implies that the price needs to catch up with the indicator signal and that the downtrend is weak. In this scenario, traders should get ready to go long, i.e., to buy the asset. How to Trade Regular Divergence? Divergence only tells traders that the momentum of a price movement is weakening. This does not necessarily lead to a strong reversal, and the price movement may just be entering a sideways trend (horizontal price movement within a stable range). To create a more reliable divergence trading strategy, skilled traders combine indicators with various tools. Regular bullish divergence and regular bearish divergence have different entry rules. In any case, once a trader has spotted a divergence, they should consider how to enter or exit the market and place their Stop Loss or Take Profit orders. What’s a hidden divergence? Divergences not only signal a potential trend reversal but can also be used as a possible sign for a trend continuation (price continues to move in its current direction). Hidden bullish divergence happens when the price is making a higher low (HL), but the oscillator is showing a lower low (LL). Hidden Bearish Divergence occurs when price makes a lower high (LH), but the oscillator is making a higher high (HH). Keep in mind that regular divergences are possible signals for trend reversals while hidden divergences signal trend continuation. Regular divergences = signal possible trend reversal Hidden divergences = signal possible trend continuation Conclusion Trading divergence can be very profitable if traders can reliably identify divergence by making use of the trading tools in their arsenal. However, like all trading strategies, using divergence indicators involves a certain degree of risk. [

Divergences + Oscillator Confirmation: A Simple System.This will be a tutorial using divergences and oscillator confirmation buy/sell signals. Hello. Here I present a simple system that is very profitable but along side this system I will present a risk management system that is easy on emotions and robust on capital. I predominantly use the 1hr and the 4hr to look for both REGULAR divergences and HIDDEN divergences. The reason I use the 1hr and 4hr is because I find them easiest to trade. We can spot great and powerful divergences in the weekly or daily time frame but how do you enter into positions on such large time frames? We can't unless we use huge stops and tiny sizes. Therefore we can look for better opportunities in the 1hr and 4hr timeframes where those divergences are reliable and risk is easier to manage. I do not recommend moving any lower than the 1hr time frame because oscillators just generate noise and bad trades. REGULAR DIVERGENCE is perhaps easier to identify but more difficult to trade because they most often happen at trend changes when volatility tends to rise. I associate less risk with REGULAR DIVERGENCE specifically smaller positions and wider stops because tops or bottoms are difficult to time. If you are an inexperienced trader it is best for you to start looking at hidden divergences which trade with the trend. HIDDEN DIVERGENCE is easiest to trade but possibly more difficult to identify. HIDDEN DIVERGENCE tends to be a continuation of the trend confirmation. This for me tends to be easier to trade because you are buying a dip in the trend which tends to be less volatile (of course this is not always the case and you can see for yourself if you start trading divergences) REGULAR BULLISH DIVERGENCE: Regular bullish divergence is when the price action makes a lower low while an oscillator like The RSI or the Stochastic makes a higher low. REGULAR BEARISH DIVERGENCE Regular bearish divergence is when the price action makes a higher high but the oscillator makes a lower high HIDDEN BULLISH DIVERGENCE Hidden bullish divergence is when price action makes a higher low and the oscillator makes a lower low. HIDDEN BEARISH DIVERGENCE Hidden bearish divergence is when price action makes a lower high while the oscillator makes a Higher high. The method I use is simple. STEP ONE: IDENTIFY THE TREND: I use the 200EMA in the 1hr or 4hr time frame and take trades corresponding with the trend. The 200EMA simply acts as a method to gauge if the price action is bullish or bearish. If the price action is above the 4hr EMA then I look for a bullish set up. If the price action is below the 4hr 200EMA then I look for a bearish set up. ( I must admit I do not always follow my advice here as today I went short and long but with experience comes flexibility). If you are an unprofitable trader I highly recommend sticking to this part of the system to prevent overtrading and take the most probable trades possible. STEP TWO: IDENTIFY REGULAR OR HIDDEN DIVERGENCE. This step will get easier with practice. As you see in this chart, We see both REGULAR DIVERGENCE which IMO is easier to spot and we have also HIDDEN DIVERGENCE which is more difficult to spot as it is across days. So now that we have identified divergences in the Stochastic RSI we are looking for a confirmation of the divergences we just found. The Stochastic RSI is simple to use when used with divergences. With out divergences the Stochastic RSI gives too many signals and sometimes wrong signals therefore we should only use the Stochastic RSI (or your oscillator of choice) when combined with divergences. If it is a perfect set up such as the morning trade where I found regular negative divergence I waited for the 1hr Stochastic RSI oscillator to confirm a sell signal by crossing the 70% line DOWNWARDS. I set the correct stop of 1% (more on risk management later) and waited for the oscillator to turn down to oversold where amazingly enough it fell and created HIDDEN BULLISH DIVERGENCE when we plotted a line from previous days' Stochastic history. Once the Stochastic turned upward on the 20% line this was my signal to exit the trade...AND because the Stochastic had now created HIDDEN BULLISH DIVERGENCE I took the long side which was an even better trade. Days like today do not happen often if ever but if you read my previous posts I had been anticipating such scenarios based on other factors I will not go into here. Read them posts if you want to know how I suspected this kind of price action was going to happen. STEP THREE: Is not a step, like I mentioned this is an incredibly simple system but no system is complete without robust RISK MANAGEMENT. The risk management comes from the great traders at Guerrilla Trading. I am not affiliated in any way but I was with them for two months and I highly highly recommend them. You will learn price action like no one else. Here I borrow on their money management ideas (I will not share all their ideas that would be unfair to them). It is simple. We will use only 1% risk by setting our stops accordingly. In the trade short in the morning on the micro Nasdaq I took a stop of 80 points. But I calculated my size according to my total capital meaning that if the Nasdaq moved against me 80 points I would only lose 1% of total capital. That's great! If the trade goes against me I would have only lost 1%. But as I have flexible stops, I also have no fixed targets and I let the oscillator let me know when to get out. In the case of the morning trade I took around 206 points. I did not know where the exit would be I just knew the oscillator would tell me. But as you can see by risking a psychologically manageable amount of risk I was comfortable in leaving the trade on until the oscillator told me when to exit. Similarly on the lunch trade where I found HIDDEN BULLISH DIVERGENCE and the Stochastic RSI confirmation crossing the 20% line I took the trade and I am still in the trade because neither the 1hr Stochastic RSI oscillator nor the 4hr oscillator have signalled a sell signal yet. And this is my own personal strengthening of the system. I try to take the 1hr trade over to the 4hr trade where I find I can remove as much of the noise from the lower timeframes as possible and capture almost an entire move. Shwing Trading baby! Well that is it. A simple system using divergences and oscillators to create great trading opportunities. This coupled with a 1% risk management and we have a powerful system that protects capital and maximizes rewards. Included here are several different examples of divergences I have posted on different time frames to get you started on your journey of using divergences.

The easiest way to use divergences in your own Pine strategiesDetecting divergences in a Pine indicator / strategy is easy. You simply have to compare the pivot lows and the pivot highs on the price and the oscillator, and if you can identify a difference between the last & previous pivots made on the price and the oscillator, you have likely found a divergence. Using this theory, here is an example how you would detect a Regular Bearish divergence: While the theory of divergence detection is simple, more often than not, things go wrong (the divergence indicator used in the example below is TradingView's built-in Divergence Indicator ): Would you identify this as a divergence? If not, why not? Is it because the divergence line is slicing through the candles? Or because the line is slicing through the oscillator? Or something else? Wouldn't it be great if somehow you could filter out invalid divergences from code, such as this one? We at Whitebox Software were wondering about the same thing, and decided to find a solution to this problem. This is when we realised that while detecting divergences is easy, detecting valid divergences is hard... After several months in development, we are proud to present to you our divergence indicator called The Divergent . The Divergent is an advanced divergence indicator with over 2500 lines of Pine Script, exposing over 30 different configuration options, including 9 built-in oscillators, to allow you to tweak every aspect of divergence detection to perfection. For example, the Line of Sight™ filter in The Divergent would have easily filtered out this invalid divergence above. The Line of Sight™ filter will notice any interruption to the divergence line connecting the price or the oscillator, and will treat the divergence as invalid. This filter is one of many, which has been created to reduce the false positive detections to a minimum. (In later publications, we will discuss each and every filter in detail). Alright, so The Divergent knows how to detect accurate divergences, but how is it going to help you detect divergences in your own Pine strategy? The Divergent is not simply a divergence indicator - it can also emit divergence signals * which you can catch and process in your own strategy. You can think of The Divergent being a DaaS ( D ivergences a s a S ervice)! * Please note, that divergence signals is a Pro only feature. To use the signals, simply place The Divergent onto the same chart you have your strategy on, import "The Divergent Library" into your code, link your strategy to The Divergent using a "source" input, and act on the signals produced by The Divergent ! Here is a simple strategy which incorporates divergence signals produced by The Divergent in its entry condition. The strategy will only open a position, if the moving average cross is preceded by a regular bullish or bearish divergence (depending on the direction of the cross): //@version=5 strategy("My Strategy with divergences", overlay=true, margin_long=100, margin_short=100) import WhiteboxSoftware/TheDivergentLibrary/1 as tdl float divSignal = input.source(title = "The Divergent Link", defval = close) var bool tdlContext = tdl.init(divSignal, displayLinkStatus = true, debug = false) // `divergence` can be one of the following values: // na → No divergence was detected // 1 → Regular Bull // 2 → Regular Bull early // 3 → Hidden Bull // 4 → Hidden Bull early // 5 → Regular Bear // 6 → Regular Bear early // 7 → Hidden Bear // 8 → Hidden Bear early // // priceStart is the bar_index of the starting point of the divergence line drawn on price // priceEnd is the bar_index of the ending point of the divergence line drawn on price // // oscStart is the bar_index of the starting point of the divergence line drawn on oscillator // oscEnd is the bar_index of the ending point of the divergence line drawn on oscillator = tdl.processSignal(divSignal) bool regularBullSignalledRecently = ta.barssince(divergence == 1) < 10 bool regularBearSignalledRecently = ta.barssince(divergence == 5) < 10 float slowSma = ta_sma(close, 28) float fastSma = ta_sma(close, 14) longCondition = ta.crossover(fastSma, slowSma) and regularBullSignalledRecently if (barstate.isconfirmed and longCondition and strategy.position_size == 0)   strategy.entry("Enter Long", strategy.long)   strategy.exit("Exit Long", "Enter Long", limit = close * 1.04, stop = close * 0.98)   shortCondition = ta.crossunder(fastSma, slowSma) and regularBearSignalledRecently if (barstate.isconfirmed and shortCondition and strategy.position_size == 0)   strategy.entry("Enter Short", strategy.short)   strategy.exit("Exit Short", "Enter Short", limit = close * 0.96, stop = close * 1.02) plot(slowSma, color = color.white) plot(fastSma, color = color.orange) One important thing to note, is that TradingView limits the number of "source" inputs you can use in an indicator / strategy to 1, so the source input linking your strategy and The Divergent is the only source input you can have in your strategy. There is a work around this limitation though. Simply convert the other source inputs to have a string type, and use a dropdown to provide the various sources: string mySource = input.string("My source", defval = "close", options = ) float sourceValue = switch mySource   "close" => close   "open" => open   "high" => high   "low" => low   => na --- This is where we are going to wrap up this article. We hope you will find the signals produced by The Divergent a useful addition in your own strategies! For more info on the The Divergent (Free) and The Divergent (Pro) indicators please see the linked pages.

RSI: A simple method to trade trends and rangesI write this tiny article to share the basics or my use of ths RSI indicator, coupled to supports and resistances levels, as well as trend lines (or any indicator you want to use as SUP/RES (moving averages, vwap ...)) This use implies a bit of practice in spotting divergences, but let's be honest, many of them appear on previous supports or resistances, just look at these levels and you can be sure you'll find them if a reversal is about to occur.) The second specificity is the use of a moving average applied to the RSI (in my exmaple, a 50 periods EMA) I developped my own RSI+MovingAverage script, but I'm sure you can find similar scripts that have already been shared within the community, thats why I don't publish it for now. Anyway, feel free to ask if you're interested in my script, it's obviously free. Lets consider two different contexts: Trends (Bullish/Bearish) Ranges In trends , there are two things to take into consideration. Let's explain what we need to work on a bullish trend: - If the price is on an interesting level (moving average, trend line, support), you can try to long upon the RSI crosses its moving average, indicating the potential end of the current retracement (even better if a bullish divergence appears close to this price) - If the price gets close to a resistance, and moreover if a bearish divergence appears on the RSI, you can consider it as a good exit price, or wait for the next retracement in order to pyramide your trade (depending on your approach). In a bearish trend, you obviously need to do the exact opposite, wait for retracements (flags or other), and find bearish divergences OR sell when the RSI is clearly crossing down its moving average. Of course you can wait for the RSI crossing above/under its moving average to get another confirmation that the movement is starting. You can see a few examples on the following screen In ranges , it's even simpler. Once you found your support and resistance levels (it can be old levels that have already generated good reactions) all you need is to spot bearish divergences on the resistance, and bullish divergence on the support. I personally like to cut at least a part of my position when we reach 50% of the range, which can be often considered as a support/resistance. It's totally up to you to exit on this point or not, depending on your preferences (simple scalping, anticipations of a range breakout to make a new trend, lower timeframe trend following, etc...) Range example: Additional notes When you trade a divergence, try to always open your position when the RSI rebounds on the divergence line, and not after, remember that opportunities are everywhere, don't mind if you missed the last one, don't enter too late in a movement. Even if a range is a global horizontal movement, it's still composed of alternations of bullish and bearish movements between the same supports and resistances, therefore, you're of course able to trade it as trends on lower timeframes Don't forget to look at candles, which can also give you strong signals on important levels, on current or lower/higher timeframes. The price is always the key Of course, think about the DOW theory.

MILAN OSCILLATOR INDICATORThe most important signals are related to the divergence. A recap for divergence from previous lessons: DIVERGENCE AND HIDDEN DIVERGENCE Positive Divergence is bullish and occurs in a downtrend when the price action prints lower lows that are not confirmed by the oscillating indicator. Negative Divergence is bearish and occurs in an uptrend when the price action makes higher highs that are not confirmed by the oscillating indicator. Bullish Hidden Divergence occurs during a correction in an uptrend when the oscillator makes a higher high while the price action does not as it is in a correction or consolidation phase. Bearish Hidden Divergence occurs during a reaction in a downtrend when the oscillator makes a lower low while the price action does not as it is in a reaction or consolidation phase. Other Signals can be crossing 0 lines or confirmation of change of bars colour.

Divergences Explained by a RaccoonThis video's purpose is to go over the fundamentals of divergences. How to spot them and the effects they have. I might make a video later on practical application and how to trade them; as well as how to combine them with other technical analysis tools and techniques. And I should be doing a stream soon where we just spend an hour hunting divergences on different commodities; whether it's crytpo, stonks, or forex. I hope this helps those trying to understand divergences. Let me know if anything seems off or is confusing, I am more than happy to make another video to clarify anything that seems off or incomplete. Thanks for watching.

Ramblin' Raccoon: Divergences Explained by a RaccoonThis video is my attempt at simplifying and clarifying how to identify and spot divergences. THE MAIN TAKE AWAY: Bearish divergences are spotted by using the peaks of price and oscillators. Bullish divergences are spotted by using the valleys of price and oscillators. Bullish Divergence is actually a convergence. (wedgey) Bearish Divergence is a true divergence. (expandy) Hidden Bullish Divergence is a convergence.(expandy) Hidden Bearish Divergence is actually a convergence. (wedgey) Bearish/Bullish Divergences are potential reversals. Hidden Bearish/Bullish Divergences are potential continuations.

The DEFINITION of Divergences!Hi every one So in this post we want to talk about a thing that If you've been following us you would've see a lot of it ! we wanna talk about Divergences! and how to use them to our advantage! there 4 kind of divergences in total which we will describe one by one! 1-regular Bearish Divergence (-RD) 2-regular Bullish Divergence (+RD) 3-Hidden Bearish Divergence(-HD) 4-Hidden Bullish Divergence(+HD) first let's talk about the effects of divergences and than get into each one. divergences are strong signals that will reassure us of the continuation of the trend or the ending of them! so let's get into each one! note that the trend is pretty important in finding divergences! for finding regular divergences on a bullish trend we must look at the tops and in a bearish trend we must look at the bottoms. for Hidden divergences though we must look at the bottoms (in a bullish trend ) and tops (in a bearish trend) so let's get into it! 1.regular bearish divergences (-RD): these divergences accrue when the tops are higher than each other(in a bullish trend),but on RSI or MACD indicators the tops are lower or in the same position next each other (in a bullish trend) in this situation we can be sure that the trend is about to change and start the bearish movement at least for a while! these are examples which clearly show the effect of (-RD) on the trend of the market. 2-regular bullish Divergence (+RD) : this divergence is accrued when the trend is bearish (bottoms are lower than each other ) but on RSI or MACD indicators the Bottoms are higher or next to each other. in this situation we can come to a conclusion that the trend can't be bearish for ever and the trend must change! this is an example for (+RD) which you can see It's effect on the market! 3-Hidden bearish Divergence(-HD):The tops are lower than each other ( in a bearish trend) but the tops on MACD or RSI indicator are higher or in the same position next to each other in this situation we can be sure that the trend can still be bearish . this is an example for(-HD) : 4-Hidden Bullish Divergence(+HD): these divergences accrue when the bottoms of a bullish trend are higher than each other but on the MACD or RSI the bottoms are lower or in the same position next to each other in this situation we can be sure that the bullish trend can still continue! this is a clear example of (+HD) and It's effectiveness! We hope that you've learn something with this post . Have a nice day and Good luck.

📖 A Guide to RSI Divergences - By Trading-GuruIn this guide I will walk you through the three main different kind of divergences and explain to you how you can spot them. I also show you the extreme power RSI divergences have by looking at BTC/USD and mark them on the chart. It's quite special to see all these three kinds immediately after another, and it's really nice to see them all working out here as well. Obviously, no signal will not provide a 100% success guarantee. But this text-book example on the BTC price showing how they work out every time is great for both learning and profit taking. It can be very hard to trade an asset that has seen such immense growth and nearly vertical upwards momentum. Using RSI divergences you will still be able to predict price reversals and trade successfully. So let's take a closer look at the three different forms of RSI divergences that I cover here on the chart. Exaggerated Divergences Exaggerated divergences are similar to regular divergences, but are considered weaker and less predictive variations. The term exaggerated refers to a circumstance where either the oscillator or price makes an equal high or low. Regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences both have two exaggerated variations, so there are four exaggerated variations in total. In this case we look at a bullish version where the price is consolidating the but the RSI shows an increase in momentum. Hidden Bullish Divergences A Hidden Bullish Divergence is considered a continuation signal in an uptrend. It refers to a circumstance where an oscillator reading falls down below its previous low, while price is still higher than its previous low. Hidden bullish divergences are most likely to occur in the middle of an uptrend – often after a healthy pull back – and indicate that the uptrend will most likely continue. The starting point of a hidden bullish divergence should be a clear swing, not just a red candlestick. Regular Bearish Divergence A Regular Bearish Divergence is considered a strong reversal signal in an uptrend. It refers to a circumstance where price rises and makes a higher high, while the corresponding oscillator reading is still lower than its previous high. Bearish divergences are most likely to occur in strong uptrends and signify that upward momentum is weakening. A reversal – or at least a pull back – is then expected to follow. Regular bearish divergences also appear in exaggerated form. Follow me for consistent high quality updates, with clear explanations and charts.

Special Analysis for EUR/USDin this technical analysis as education, we see an EUR/USD in long term very bullish. Why? Because there: If you keep watching up, we are in the strong support and a possible formation of Bat armonic pattern bearish or double top, as you want to see, maybe it's has for me a double top, and very strongest because in the past in the accumulation of 2014-2017 we having a bullish trend until the 2018. But, so, we are in the possible bull run to form in long term, because indicators in the RSI show us a bullish divergence in Monthly, and this is a good indicator for this currency EUR. I see an Euro very optimistic their economies and there are a good indicators so what EUR is could be the strengthen in the long term. In weekly, we have a very curious patter, because we are from August 2018 in the descendent and bearish channel from $!.17 USD from $!.06 USD, and then, in the RSI if you see, we are having in the ascendent channel in the RSI, and then, it's a good indicator what the force is strenghten on the price action. Also, as we broke up the descedent channel, we can to see a possible proyection and target again from the level of $1.24 USD. So, that it's a study of elliot wave analysis so we need to recover this information to take in our hand. And Daily in midterm, we proyect a drop until the $!.11 USD to later of the elliot wave analysis, we need to see an Euro bullish in this bull run of 2020. And also, I detect a hide bearish divergence and it's very neccesary to the price drop in that zone as I estimated in my previously technical analysis. Also i added in my link of related ideas a updates of EUR/USD so recently from yesterday That my friend, is all my technical analysis in Moonthly, Weekly and Daily timeframe, my expectative of the Euro is that I see that currency in the bull run agains the US Dollar.

Trading Divergences - An Alternate View for New TradersTrading divergences is a very common technical analysis strategy, but it comes with one big problem: the most common divergences (not hidden) trade against the trend. This means that new traders can often get into trouble by constantly looking for, and trading, against a dominant trend. Here's an idea to help you become more profitable over the long-term: identify divergences on your chosen momentum indicator, but only trade on trend continuation signals. I'm not saying you need to do this forever, as once you're experienced you can trade both pullbacks and continuations - but doing so requires multiple layers of confirmation, and a lot of knowledge/planning/experience. By trading trend continuation signals after divergences, you're stacking the odds in your favour by going with the dominant trend. You're also training your eye to see divergences, and seeing how the markets react to divergences. For new traders this can be a valuable lesson in the power of momentum in financial markets. So, what are trend continuation signals? It depends on your chosen momentum indicator, so I can only provide general ideas; you need to adapt things according to what you're using. My chart contains a custom momentum indicator, loosely based on the RSI. However, it's far smoother than the RSI, so I can reliably trade precise signals (e.g. for me, a cross of 0). On the RSI, you may choose something a bit further down the scale, for example, a cross below Oversold (20/30). If you're using a Stochastic indicator, you may trade a cross below Overbought (70/80). If you don't understand why I'm suggesting you trade signals at the opposite end of the scale for RSI and Stochastic, let me know. Hopefully this all makes sense, and remember that it's just an idea if you're a new trader and struggling to make good trades. Let me know if you have any queries. DD

Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) Chaikin Money Flow (C.M.F.) Definition Chaikin Money Flow (C.M.F.) is a technical analysis indicator used to measure Money Flow Volume over a set period of time. Money Flow Volume is a metric used to measure the buying and selling pressure of a security for single period. C.M.F. then sums Money Flow Volume over a user determined look-back period. Any look-back period can be used. However, the most popular settings would be 20 or 21 closes. In the Chaikin Money Flow's value fluctuates between 1 and -1. C.M.F. can be used as a way to further quantify changes in buying and selling pressure and can help to anticipate future changes and therefore, trading opportunities. Chaikin's Money Flow's value fluctuates between 1 and -1. The basic interpretation is: When C.M.F. is closer to 1, buying pressure is higher. When C.M.F. is closer to -1, selling pressure is higher. Buying and Selling Pressure can be a good way to confirm an ongoing trend. This can give the trader an added level of confidence that the current trend is likely to continue. However, just becaue buy/sell pressure is in favor of the current trend it does not mean that levels shown can sustain the direction if it is advancing or declining into the opposite direction. During a Bullish Trend, continuous Buying Pressure (Chaikin Money Flow values above 0) can indicate that prices will continue to rise. During a Bearish Trend, continuous Selling Pressure (Chaikin Money Flow values below 0) can indicate that prices will continue to fall. The C.M.F. is designed for use with the On Balance Volume (OBV) and Chaikin Oscillator in addition to other volume indicators. See: www.tradingview.com(CMF) Example In this example, I will focus on a Bearish scenario since most traders tend to be able to spot Bullish scenarios easily. As can be seen on the 6 hour chart above, the divergences are typically pretty clear. At the C.M.F. peak shown by the vertical red line, we had a nice rally prior. At the C.M.F. peak we dropped for 18 hours and then started a new rally. At this point, the C.M.F. began to show less buy pressure that did not coincide with the new price high since its prior peak. In this case, I would monitor smaller time frames (for quicker reaction data) to see if the volume picks up. It did not; creating a drop to match the actual buy pressure decline. Move forward to the price action shown by the vertical blue line. We attempted another rally with less than convincing buy pressure on the C.M.F.. Price action created what some traders call a double top that could not be sustainable due to the declining buy pressure on the C.M.F.. For my settings here I have left the stock inputs at 20 and changed the view to area with breaks. Conclusion The Chaikin Money Flow (C.M.F.) is great for identifying hidden price movements. As with all indicators you should use it in conjunction with similar indicators (Volume based in this example) and also confirm on multiple time frames. The C.M.F. has been a great tool that I have used over the years to identify early price prediction and movement. I will focus on indicators best used in conjunction with the C.M.F. in my next few educational ideas. Click like on this if you would like to learn about more trading tools. Thanks!

Divergence Trading PatternsDIVERGENCES are used to forecast an upcoming Price Reversal or Continuation. There are 4 different types of Divergences and the first ones are Regular Bullish and Regular Bearish Divergences. What are they? Regular Divergences are when the price movement is contrary to the indicator movement. Signal for an upcoming Price Reversal, trend is about to change. Then the second ones are Hidden Bullish and Hidden Bearish Divergences. Hidden Divergences are signal of Trend Continuation. Meaning that the price continues to move in it's current direction. If you have learned this method already this is a great reminder and works very well as cheat sheet. But if you are a learner then the chart is explaining very simple how you can spot them. You should take time and effort to learn this. It does not take long before you start spotting different kind of divergences. You can use one of following oscillators to spot the divergences. (In the end it does not really matters which one you use). MACD RSI CCI + BB etc there are more but here are few you to get started. Any questions or need help? Feel free to leave comments and feedback! Yarr!
