Here is an indicator with 4 options:
- OBV [On Balance Volume]
- MACD [MACD] (uses default EMA, you can change this to SMA)
- AC [Accelerator Oscillator]
- AO [Awesome Oscillator]
All accompanied with my "Divergences (Pivots)" with 3 settings:
- 'Long Period', default checks 19 bars to the Left (="History") and 1 bar to the Right (="Future")
- 'Medium Period', default checks 14 bars to the Left (="History") and 1 bar to the Right (="Future")
- 'Short Period', default checks 9 bars to the Left (="History") and 1 bar to the Right (="Future")
When choosing an indicator, it comes with their accompanying "Divergences"!
Each Bar checks an amount of Bars at the Left (="History") and Bars to the Right (="Future"), insuring this particular Bar is the Highest or Lowest of them all at "close",
this is compared to the [On Balance Volume] or [MACD] or [Accelerator or Awesome Oscillator] and so we have our Divergences.
There is always a slight delay (number of Bar(s) at the Right side (="Future")
If you like a setting, where the amount of “RightBars” equals the ”LeftBars” you can enable the " > Only change 'LeftBars'" button.
Then you only have to adjust the amount of “LeftBars” and the amount of “RightBars” automatically will be the same.
Bullish divergences are "Green"
- 'Short' - 'Medium' "period" > "▲"
- 'Long' "period" > "⇧"
Bearish divergences are "Red"
- 'Short' - 'Medium' "period" > "▼"
- 'Long' "period" > "⇩"
Hidden divergences ( Bullish and Bearish ) are:
- 'Short' - 'Medium' "period" > "▲▼" - "White"
- 'Long' "period" > "⬆︎⬇︎" - "Yellow"
Since for me, at this moment, it is impossible to let this indicator work as our eyes work, it will miss sometimes. I've tried to solve this by putting 3 different "Periods",
but it is not perfect, so look at it as an aiding tool, a "hint" so you can look in detail if there is something of importance or not.
What also helps is to switch timeframes.
For example on a 1 hour chart a "Highest" point can be missed sometimes, but could be perfectly visible on a 2 or 4 hour chart.
Also, try to change the numbers in a way that suits you the best.
Enjoy!
