Kase Convergence Divergence [BackQuant]Kase Convergence Divergence
The Kase Convergence Divergence is a sophisticated oscillator designed to measure directional market strength through the lens of volatility-adjusted log return structures. Inspired by Cynthia Kase’s work on statistical momentum and price projection ranges, this unique indicator offers a hybrid framework that merges signal processing, multi-length sweep logic, and adaptive smoothing techniques.
Unlike traditional momentum oscillators like MACD or RSI, which rely on static moving average differences, KCD introduces a dual-process system combining:
Kase-style statistical range projection (via log returns and volatility),
A sweeping loop of lookback lengths for robustness,
First and second derivative modes to capture both velocity and acceleration of price movement.
Core Logic & Computation
The KCD calculation is centered on two volatility-normalized transforms:
KSDI Up: Measures how far the current high has moved relative to a past low, normalized by return volatility.
KSDI Down: Measures how far the current low has moved relative to a past high, also normalized.
For every length in a user-defined sweep range (e.g., 25–35), both KSDI_up and KSDI_dn are computed, and their maximum values across the loop are retained. The difference between these two max values produces the raw signal:
KPO (Kase Projection Oscillator): Measures directional skew.
KCD (Kase Convergence Divergence): Defined as KPO – MA(KPO) — similar in spirit to MACD but structurally different.
Users can choose to visualize either the first derivative (KPO) , or the second derivative (KCD) , depending on market conditions or strategy style.
Key Features
✅ Multi-Length Sweep Logic: Improves signal reliability by aggregating statistical range projections across a set of lookbacks.
✅ Advanced Smoothing Modes: Supports DEMA, HMA, TEMA, LINREG, WMA and more for dynamic adaptation.
✅ Dual Derivative Modes: Choose between speed (first derivative) or smoothness (second derivative) to fit your trading regime.
✅ Color-Encoded Signal Bands: Heatmap-style oscillator coloring enhances visual feedback on trend strength.
✅ Candlestick Painting: Optional bar coloring makes it easy to spot trend shifts on the main chart.
✅ Adaptive Fill Zones: Green and red fills between the oscillator and zero line help distinguish bullish and bearish regimes at a glance.
Practical Applications
📈 Trend Confirmation: Use KCD as a secondary confirmation layer after breakout or pullback entries.
📉 Momentum Shifts: Crossover and crossunder of the zero line highlight potential regime changes.
📊 Strategy Filters: Incorporate into algos to avoid trendless or mean-reverting environments.
🧪 Derivative Switching: Flip between KPO and KCD modes depending on whether you want to measure acceleration or deceleration of price flow.
Alerts & Signals
Two built-in alerts help you catch regime shifts in real time:
Long Signal: Triggered when the selected oscillator crosses above zero.
Short Signal: Triggered when it crosses below zero.
These events can be used to generate entries, exits, or trend validation cues in multi-layer systems.
Conclusion
The Kase Convergence Divergence goes beyond traditional oscillators by offering a volatility-normalized, derivative-aware signal engine with enhanced visual dynamics. Its sweeping architecture and dynamic fill logic make it especially powerful for identifying trending environments, filtering chop, and adding statistical rigor to your trading toolkit.
Whether you’re a discretionary trader seeking precision, or a quant looking to model more robust return structures, KCD offers a creative yet analytically grounded solution.

RSI Divergence Method█ OVERVIEW
This is a divergence indicator based on Relative Strength Index (RSI).
My attempt to make this indicator updated based on latest pine script features such as type, object and method.
█ FEATURES
1. Color of plot and label is based on contrast color of chart background. Able to customize color from style menu.
2. Big divergence (Regular Divergence) is based on lime / red color.
3. Small divergence (Hidden Divergence) is based on contrast color of chart background.
█ EXAMPLES / USAGES
[JL] Stochastic Divergence AlertCompare two cross area:
k is increasing, low is lower and previous k is less than bottom level then it is bottom divergence
k is decrease, high is higher and previous k is more than top level then it is top divergence
With long term moving average(400), seems that Stochastic Divergence is more accurate than RSI Divergence on 1m chart.
Macd Divergence + MTF EMA MACD Divergence + Multi Time Frame EMA
This Strategy uses 3 indicators: the Macd and two emas in different time frames
The configuration of the strategy is:
Macd standar configuration (12, 26, 9) in 1H resolution
10 periods ema, in 1H resolution
5 periods ema, in 15 minutes resolution
We use the two emas to filter for long and short positions.
If 15 minutes ema is above 1H ema, we look for long positions
If 15 minutes ema is below 1H ema, we look for short positions
We can use an aditional filter using a 100 days ema, so when the 15' and 1H emas are above the daily ema we take long positions
Using this filter improves the strategy
We wait for Macd indicator to form a divergence between histogram and price
If we have a bullish divergence, and 15 minutes ema is above 1H ema, we wait for macd line to cross above signal line and we open a long position
If we have a bearish divergence, and 15 minutes ema is below 1H ema, we wait for macd line to cross below signal line and we open a short position
We close both position after a cross in the oposite direction of macd line and signal line
Also we can configure a Take profit parameter and a trailing stop loss
Price Divergence AccumulatePrice divergence is a good indicator to detect a trend change.
But only check the divergence value is not enough, the time range of how long the trend continues also needs to be measured.
This indicator accumulated Price Divergence until it turns from plus to minus or minus to plus.
From this Accumulated Price Divergence
1. The upper-level (long term) trend should be supported by the lower-level (short term) trend.
if the peaks of the lower-level trend become lower and lower, it is indicating the upper-level trend might get an adjustment.
2. At the beginning of the upper-level trend
The 1st lower-level trend peak might exceed the upper-level trend. But often we see it will be corrected and 2nd lower-level trend will be underneath the upper-level trend.
SPX-VIX Intraday DivergenceAs a long-term buyer/short-seller, you will always find different ways to enter the market , moving average crossovers, breakouts , overbought/oversold conditions being some of the classy methods. However, they are decreasingly effective... 😢
Recently I have realized that analysis beyond the technical indicators will bring trading to the next level because I will be able to confirm my trading signals without relying too much on basic price actions and patterns which are easily manipulated by big banks and institutions. 👍
Today I will introduce you to my divergence indicator making use of SPX and VIX. Unlike MacD or RSI divegence , which would involve normative judgement , it will take account of the unusual move by SPX alongwith the VIX , to the exploit chances that options market, where most experienced investors participated in has a preceding insight into the equity market about the upcoming moves.
I have divided signals into two groups.
Bullish divergence - SPX Down , VIX also Down 👇
Bearish divergence - SPX Up , VIX also Up 👆
I hope this script will enable us to take advantage of the options market activities , to provide a REAL divergence signal, and be used coupled with our own chart patterns or other price signals, and more importantly to score more and more winning trades!!!

MG - MACD - Divergence - 1.0The MACD indicator can produce some powerful divergence signals which can be useful confirmation for entering / exiting a trade.
This indicator generates and alert and plots (if enabled), when a divergence is detected. For example, if bullish (above zero) and two bearish MACD crosses are detected with the second being lower than the first, a bearish divergence alert is triggered. Theoretically a good place to take profit / possibly enter a short position if you have further confirmation.
Can also be configured to include continuation signals i.e. a bullish trend with two bullish MACD crosses where the second is higher than the first. This could indicate more bullish action ahead.
In order to illustrate how this indicator helps to sift out a good amount of false signals, I have highlighted in the above image in dark green, all of the divergence buy signals highlighted by the indicator and in light green, the rest of the MACD buy signals.
ADX Divergence IndicatorDescription:
The ADX Divergence Indicator (ADXDI) is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential bullish and bearish signals based on the Average Directional Index (ADX), the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI), and the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI) lines. This overlay indicator plots circles on the chart to highlight these signals.
How it Works:
The ADXDI calculates the ADX, +DI, and -DI values using user-defined parameters. It then evaluates specific conditions to determine potential bullish and bearish signals. The indicator considers rising and falling trends of the +DI and -DI lines, as well as changes in the ADX values. Additionally, it detects a bounce condition when the current ADX is less than the previous ADX value and that ADX value is higher than the one previous to it.
Usage:
To effectively utilize the ADX Divergence Indicator, follow these steps:
1. Apply the ADX Divergence Indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators.
2. Observe the circles plotted on the chart:
- Bullish circles (green by default) indicate potential bullish signals.
- Bearish circles (red by default) indicate potential bearish signals.
4. Interpret the signals provided by the indicator:
- A bullish signal occurs when the +DI line rises and the -DI line falls.
- A bearish signal occurs when the -DI line rises and the +DI line falls.
- The presence of a bounce condition (ADX < ADX and ADX > ADX) further strengthens the signal.
5. Combine the signals from the ADX Signals indicator with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, trend lines, or candlestick patterns, to confirm potential trade setups.
6. Customize the indicator's parameters, such as the lengths of the DI and ADX calculations or the colors of the plotted circles, to suit your trading preferences.
7. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.

MACD with divergence signalsIts an MACD indicator which highlights places where macd and signal line cross and hidden divergence ocures.
Logic behind it is to check if we have hidden divergence when crossing of that two lines and if above EMA200 (signal for BUY - green) or if below EMA200 (signal for SELL - red).
You can change lenght of EMA but i think 200 is a simpliest trend indicator.
EMA DivergenceThis script automatically calculates the divergence between your favorite exponential moving average and the current price (13 ema default).
Additionally, it displays the area in yellow once the first threshold gets reached (1.5% divergence default) and in red once the second threshold gets reached (1.5% divergence default).
Volume Divergence Polarity Grid [DW]This study is an experiment built off the framework of my Dual Volume Divergence Index indicator.
It is designed to gauge polarity over multiple lookback periods of your choice by expressing the data as a two color grid.
Positive Volume Divergence and Negative Volume Divergence are calculated, and their relative values are used to gauge polarity.
The order of the grid is top to bottom - the top is the first lookback period, and the bottom is the last.
RSI DivergenceRSI DIVERGENCE is a difference between a fast and a slow RSI. Default values are 5 for the fast one and 14 for the slow one.
You can use this indicator in 2 different ways:
normal RSI : check double or triple top/bottom on a chart meanwhile RSI is descending/ascending (check the example on chart)
signal line : when RSI Divergence cross zero line from bottom to top you get a buy signal (the line become green), vice versa when the RSI Divergence cross zero line in the opposite way you get a sell signal (the line become red)
Universal Moving Average Convergence DivergenceI changed MACD formula to divergence of (MA26/MA12 - 1).
And its make it more useful.
Cuz:
1) comparability with all other coins with different prices.
2) fix small numbers in low price coines like shiba
3) making a good indicator like RSI to use it for optimization and ML/AI projects as a variable
Most important thing about this indicator is that its Universal
Now you can compare the UMACD of Shiba with Bitcoin without any problem in matamatics space.No need to use virtuality and its important in Optimization problems that we rediuse the problem from a picture to a number(A plot to a list of numbers)
If we don't care about exagrated pumps and dumps, we can say to it Normalized-MACD too. Cuz in normal situations its MAX ≈ 0.1 and MIN ≈ -0.1

Wolfpack Id with DivergenceThis indicator simply identifies if the markets are in an up or down trend. You should always use it in combination with other indicators, just as Wavetrends.
This indicator is mostly known because of Market Cipher. The script that was published under the name Wolfpack Id is for some reason closed source, but as it turns out there is of course no secret sauce involved, the original indicator goes way back and the thing that was then called Wolfpack Indicator is simply a MACD Signal Line with 3,8 settings. I added a simple divergence hunter for some extra Informations that might help, brought it up to contemporary pinescript standards, added Alerts and made the whole script open source, as it should be and as the original script also once was. Have fun!
Time Segmented Volume with divergence and Kumo cloud backgroundThis is a Time Segmented Volume (TSV) indicator with added divergence hunter, crossing signals, Kumo cloud background and alert functions
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first!
Price divergencePrice divergence will indicate how much current price is divert from market exponential moving average .
