Nice bullish divergence on the 5 min coupled with a possible ema bounce on the 1 hour
I hope we get support

Bearish signals mentioned earlier for 1H and 5m played out just fine. First HD stopped out rapidly but subsequent was good. Alan, in these cases will you generally re-enter on the pullback to the entry? Would've worked fine this time but my fear here is if price oscillates around the entry level you could get done in several times. Hedge should've been stopped out but since a bullish HD was forming near hedge BE it was left on. {image}
Are those your trades? what compelled you to take that second short?

edit, sorry maybe thats what your asking...

Mike, that second entry was a HD at the time the price took out the pivot high. The question to Alan was about a pullback that occurs in the same candle as the entry.

IMO HD's (with HTF context) are high probability with very little DD. Personally have enough faith in them to go all in, as you'll see in today's chart. I will still use three entries for other div's and bull/bear support.

And also getting HD in cable. My problem is that I don't trust signals that time.
I clearly see the signals but enter always late!!!!
A clear entry point could help ...

For hidden divergence see Alan's description in post 961 (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...8#post11865778) and this is marked by the circles showing the first and second entries on my posted chart.

HD entries I do by monitoring the RSI of the current bar (shown in indicator window) and placing the mouse cursor on the bar of interest. When price is close to the pivot high/low I can then quickly enter if there is divergence between price and RSI in real time.

Hey guys,

So one of the issues I often run into is picking the “wrong” divergence. I am sure many of you know the feeling of following the signals and take on positions either short or long as the divergence is signinaling, only to see that price continues to push in the same direction. To me, it looks like the ones who have gotten a better grasp of this strategy have been able to work out ways to deal with this.

Attached is a picture showing regular divergences (orange) and rsi divergences (red). As you can see, from the time the first divergence signal presented itself price kept on running north/south for a good distance.

I guess my question is, what tools and/or techniques do you apply to make sure that you enter closer to the tops/bottoms?

2-bar test (see earlier posts by the OP to get the hang of it).

This is a good question Simon and absolutely 2-bar tests are good for entries. However, an important lesson for me was to accept losses as well. Alan's method is especially forgiving of these because of the insane reward for getting it right. Throw in the additional pips that hedges give and you can pay for several stop outs very quickly.

Other useful spots for entries in this type of PA is previous high/low swings of the average and also ABCD 50% levels or D points (see Alan's post https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...9#post11991329 about this)

That 80 pip spike yesterday was as bullish as you can get these days yet the 4H 50% ABCD level ("wrong direction") was in contention and held.

At the same time the 1H was at a swing high and the bar ended in divergence giving a clue as to what the bias should be on the 5m for entries.

Morning all, Both the 50% levels from the continuation divergence ABCD pattern were hit yesterday, Should we now remove these levels from the chart/analysis? As it looks like there is no continuation divergence on the hourly today, does that mean we are using 29360 (yesterday swing high) and 29390 (ABCD 100% level) as our target to the up side? thanks.
Hitting both side like that is an indication price is just ranging

If you cannot trust your signals then you are wasting your time trading because guess work won't cut it. The trick is the initial entry is small with an equally small risk to test the waters.

Correct and if the price continues to run on and out of divergence then we will be stopped out for a small loss. Not a problem.
