Can't seem to find this anywhere on the interweb so thought I'd create a post here to explain my strategy.
You can use pretty much any of the lower indicators but I find the Stochastic, BB% and / macD works the best.
We all know the use of these indicators to find divergence but the cross over pivots are almost never the true reversal points.
The true reversals / breakouts can be determined by drawing in a simple trend line.
Rules.
Previous Divergence Projects the next trend break / reversal
1. to 2. = Divergence
2. to 3. No divergence
/= Trend break on the volume indicator BEFORE it does on a price chart.
Enter on the break of structure
-----------------------------
When using the BB% indicator the same rules apply as if you are using a simple Bollinger Band.
Rules.
1/ Mark the highs (or lows) Outside of the bolinger band then the Inside. Usually the following inside high is higher than the outside high which
relative to the bollinger band indicates a reversal. Remove the bollinger bands this is divergence. The BB% indicator mirrors the Bollinger band.
I can better explain this with pictures.
Hope this helps a few peeps
enjoy

Why don't you try CCI instead of MACD? Woodie's method for example.... Woodie's is proven technique.

cci is identical to BB% & rsi they're pretty much all the same, I trade Bollinger bands, BB% is a mirror image allowing me to switch out the Bollinger bands and have a clean chart. I'd say Bollinger bands are a proven method when used correctly. I know nothing of cci strategy ?
Combine this with structured analysis it's a pretty solid strategy an easy to identify.

Finally someone has posted a strategy that involves the use of the BB%.

I love this indi is one of the few of the many out there that can actually pick out reversals with amazing accuracy.

I found the coding for this one, mt4 I modified it slightly incorporating my own variable settings.
Tradingview charts have a default BB% indicator, I also created my own version of it which you can find under my profile - scripts

Hi vdubus
What TF do you use ? only H4 ?

Hi vdubus What TF do you use ? only H4 ?
No I don't restrict myself to 4H but I find higher time frames easier to break down when using BB%
Your very first chart - that first LH is actually a HH. How can it be a lower high if price is higher than the previous higher high?
On daily chart I use
wma(4)
ema(13)
ma(50)

and average volume 25 day line. watch the volume on up days vs the volume on down days. Take a look at BAC chart. The ema(13) is the swing trade average and wma(4) as points to get in one the 1st day up.

All indicator's do just make a lot on noise. IMHO.

Relative to the Bollinger band it's a LH - Last picture
Outside = High / Inside = Low
Outside - Inside = Reversal

Awesome @vdubus, so glad you started this thread.

Looking at the EURUSD 4H (attached below), are we due for a reversal?
I noticed your BB% length is 21 vs the default 20. Does this change make much of a difference in results?
Last question, do you enter at the immediate price action trend break or wait for a candle to close past the break?
Thanks!

I like to use fib numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so forth. It make no difference to the strategy

Nice. I also use an identical strategy for renko
& here you will find the holy Grail to my strategy -
Divergence predicts the next trend reversal !
