Chaikin Divergence

前天

Overview

The Chaikin Divergence is a powerful technical indicator designed to enhance the traditional Chaikin Oscillator by incorporating divergence detection between the oscillator and price action. This advanced tool not only plots the Chaikin Oscillator but also identifies and highlights bullish and bearish divergences, providing traders with valuable insights into potential trend reversals and momentum shifts.

Key Features
Chaikin Oscillator Plotting: Visual representation of the Chaikin Oscillator, aiding in the analysis of market momentum based on volume and price.

Divergence Detection:
Bullish Divergence: Indicates potential upward reversals when price forms lower lows while the oscillator forms higher lows.
Bearish Divergence: Signals possible downward reversals when price creates higher highs while the oscillator forms lower highs.

Customizable Settings:
Fast Length & Slow Length: Adjust the periods for the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) used in the oscillator calculation.
Pivot Detection Parameters: Define the sensitivity of pivot high and pivot low detection with adjustable left and right bars.
Bars Lookback for Divergence: Set the number of bars to look back for identifying divergences.
Color Customization: Choose distinct colors for bullish and bearish divergence labels to match your trading preferences.

Visual Indicators:
Divergence Labels: Clear and distinct labels (arrows or dots) on the chart indicating the type and location of divergences.
Zero Line: A dashed zero line to reference the oscillator’s crossing points.

Chaikin Oscillator Calculation:
The indicator calculates the Chaikin Oscillator by subtracting the slow EMA of the Accumulation/Distribution Line (ta.accdist) from the fast EMA.
This oscillates around the zero line, indicating buying and selling pressure.

Pivot Detection:
Utilizes ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify significant pivot points in price action. These pivot points serve as reference points for divergence analysis.

Divergence Identification:
Bullish Divergence: Detected when a recent pivot low in price is lower than the previous pivot low, while the corresponding oscillator value is higher than the previous oscillator pivot.
Bearish Divergence: Identified when a recent pivot high in price is higher than the previous pivot high, but the oscillator value is lower than the previous oscillator pivot.
Label Plotting:

When a divergence is detected, the indicator plots a label (arrow or dot) on the chart at the pivot point, signaling the type of divergence.

Adding the Indicator:
Open TradingView and navigate to the chart where you want to apply the indicator.
Open the Pine Editor, paste the Chaikin Oscillator with Divergences script, and add it to your chart.

Configuring Settings:
Fast Length & Slow Length: Adjust these to modify the sensitivity of the Chaikin Oscillator. Shorter periods make the oscillator more responsive to price changes.
Left Bars for Pivots & Right Bars for Pivots: Define how many bars to the left and right are considered when identifying pivot points. Increasing these values makes pivot detection less sensitive.
Bars Lookback for Divergence: Set how far back the indicator should search for previous pivot points when identifying divergences. A higher value allows detection over a longer timeframe.
Bullish/Bearish Divergence Colors: Choose colors that stand out against your chart background for easy identification of divergence signals.

Interpreting Signals:
Bullish Divergence Labels: Appear when there's a potential upward reversal, signaling a possible buying opportunity.
Bearish Divergence Labels: Show up when a downward reversal might be imminent, indicating a possible selling opportunity.
Oscillator Crosses Zero: Pay attention to when the oscillator crosses the zero line, as this can also signal changes in momentum.

Combining with Other Indicators:
For enhanced trading strategies, combine divergence signals with other technical indicators or chart patterns to confirm potential trade setups.
