Recently i have tried scalping 10 pips using divergence on 1mtf

My rules below:
1. Observe divergence to keep forming atleast for two hours!
2. Wait of BOS (break of structure) or liquidity grab.
3. Retest of OB (order block) is our entry.

This can give easy 10pip with very less draw down i will share charts soon for understanding. (Once make some profit can close 80% of the lot and let the rest play)

Try to always do breakeven once price move away to secure the equity, and book the profit to keep increasing the equity)

Only look for clean divergence using clear trend line dont try to push to see divergence.

Divergence only an indication, nothing can beat your eyes! we dont just jump in looking at divergence, dont let it excite to enter in any trade immediately.

we only trade price action with a confluence of divergence/convergence and break/continuation in market structure and enter only upon retest of OB

Lesson #1 post #1
What is OB: last buy candle in sell trend, and last sell candle in buy
Lesson #2 post #124
What is price inefficiency/imbalance/fair value gap

Could you give more details about break of structure and liquidity grab? How can we define the structure or liq. grab?

Could you give more details about break of structure and liquidity grab? How can we define the structure or liq. grab?
Break of structure mean prices making higher high and lower high, when it breaks last lower high in an up trend since we have confluence of rsi divergence not every last lower high or higher low in case of down trend is not a setup unless we noted divergence.

Liquid grab is sl hunting, since we saw divergence doesn't mean we enter the trade because we have to see rule 2, break of structure or SL hunting price can make future higher high or lower lows. Here we can also wait for break of structure after liquidity grab/sl hunting.

we wait and see wick rejection of orderblock for entry with very ess sl and drawdown

After a lot of live trial and error trading divergence live I can now say I’ve mastered it and bullish hidden divergence seems to be my money maker 99% of the time trading GBP pairs by just the amount of pips they move. Honestly the way I see things is that when the market diverges, for me I’m using an MACD and OSMA to spot areas of reversals and when the OSMA or macd move above zero we get a reaction and depending on the timeframe you can get a lot of pips. Forex is nothing but a mix of different personalities and the idea is what are the tools most traders are using to enter trades. First indicator that ever popped up on MT4 when I opened up accounts was a MACD. Seems as if Divergence is traded by the banks and institutions and if you can read it right and be patient you will win almost every time. Spot divergence which is price and oscillator are not in agreement wait for MACD to cross signal line and trade. I like the OSMA because with the right settings the move above 0 along with the cross above on the signal line on the MACD after seeing divergence is the best tool to have in my opinion. I’m not a 1min trader because my personality doesn’t allow it so I trade the 1hr and yeah I have to use a wider stop loss but that’s what money management is for. Trade what you’re willing to lose. Good thread and I hope see more posts

Good write up here mate, please kindly share ideas on how best(at least to you) how to use MACD/OSMA and their best setting to trade divergence, and if you have reading materials/video in respect of this , kindly share
When I first started trying to come up with a trading strategy, obviously 1m charts as a scalper btw, I looked up on divergences too, which I don't anymore because you can spot them with your bare eyes, and then with the help of BB and candlestick patterns etc it is very well posib to catch a reversal..
But yeah working on the 1m chart & technically, I can tell that we are on the right path. Better results than anything other

Now do it in realtime.
The best thing is price action, naked chart higher high/higher low, break of market structure or SL hunting... i am trying to add divergence as a hint be ready a setup can form..

Since market is fractal same setups can be found higher time frames as well but entry should always be on lower time frames and we have to choose the TF as per convenience and availability.

There are tons of videos on YouTube and I’m not trying to take anything away from this thread but there was a hidden divergence thread started by a person named dani that has 253 pages of divergence on every time frame. There’s an indicator called MACD color history that I use. I keep the MACD signal lines and black out the bars and then turn around and add a OSMA. They’re giving the same info but the bars on the OSMA are much bigger so I can see everything I need to see. 12,26,9 are both settings. If divergence is confirmed on both you have a 30pip minimum winner once you wait for the OSMA to cross above zero and the signal lines cross on macd. Look at GBPUSD 1hr chart. We started diverging on Tuesday and finished Thursday. Friday started with nothing but sell off. That is a perfect example of bearish regular divergence. Hidden divergence comes into play on the same chart. Retracement from weekly highs with a possible bullish hidden divergence set up in play. With the market being closed we made a cross above at close but I have no clue what has happened after hours and that set up may not be valid anymore but it’s divergence. Keep your profit targets realistic. 20 pips after see divergence is like 100% imagine waking up everyday and trading 5 lots for 20 pips when you see a divergence play on the 1hr time frame

To be honest if you spot divergence on the 1hr timeframe for example there’s no need to drop down to the 15min timeframe because if you throw a 9 sma on your 1hr chart that 9 sma is when the MACD on the 15 min has crossed above so just wait for price to close above the 9 sma and that’s your entry

I would also add that divergence can happen on the 1hr timeframe at any point. Like for instance I missed a GBPUSD trade on Wednesday because the market decided to open hit a high and drop back down to open. On my chart that was divergence but i was done for the day and also don’t like dealing with swaps because of my lot size it’s like a waste of money to me just to watch the market fluctuate for an hour. I can tell you Monday I went long but Tuesday we had the nastiest divergence around 22:00 gmt that pushed the market up 280 pips. It’s really about money management and patience. If you know you gotta make a 20 pip stop risk what your account allows. Range of bars matters so in some cases your stop is so wide because a pair has been averaging 35 pips each bar every hour. I also only trade GBP pairs because of you just look at a 7 day trading history they all average well over 100 pips so if you wake up London session spot bullish divergence and the market has only moved 30 pips so far the likely of you taking a winning that trade increases versus you waiting on the market to move 100 pips already wait for the retracement and try to take the hidden divergence trade back up to the high or low. I can type for hours but really you just gotta see for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with back testing for a few days.
If anybody is looking for a prime example of Regualr divergence take a look at the monthly GBPUSD chart. From 2007 to 2015 is the start and confirmation of divergence. It even went up and made another lower low before going back up. IMO market is likely to go retest higher areas @1.42 but I like to trade on a daily basis so that’s just something to keep in mind. Also previous days high low open mid should be placed on your chart and not current day. If current day opened in the zone of previous days candles and its trading above or below the open and mid of previous day figuring out the direction isn’t that difficult
