Okey i took couple of longs today wich fail. Probably cause i dont have the understanding yet of the way u read price and indicators at EMA...
I still reading the whole thread looking to get a deep understanding of the knowledge u are sharing. I have found at post 1360 one example wich could explain why my longs today wasnt valid...
Correct me if im wrong please.
This is today chart where u can see many divergeces in m5 when price was at h1 target EMA (red line)

The thing is most of trades that i saw u took they started with both RSI or at least the Slow one in the other side of waterline at least for first entry...and then once the trade unfolds it cross the waterline
how can we reconize when is valid or not the divergence?

Or am i taking as a valid H1 EMA level comparing price to average?
Im a bit lost here i hope u understand my question.
Thnks

Yes I understand your question.

With a divergence we expect a return to the EMA and to even cross it and find support.

In this case you are looking at bullish divergences going against the trend so in effect these are either scalps (which can turn into trades) or hedges to protect the short entries..

When the divergence fails to cross the EMA you should expect a lower low.
When the bulls fail to find support expect a lower low.
When the bulls cannot hold onto the support expect a lower low.

Your assumptions were correct to go long but this is risky because it is against the trend so at best it is a scalp or a hedge.

You will be far better off not trying to fight the market and go with the signals that aim to continue the trending direction this is the most likely way to extract your profit and much more quickly if done at the right time (108).

Clearly you can see the 1 hour is trading below the average and on the 5 min chart there were many signals to take the shorts...not longs.

On the 5 min chart you posted with a green box on the RSI. The contents of this box were all shorts so I am at a loss to understand why you were long.

It is a common mistake to take a divergence and expect a good result when only 1 or 2 pips are there to be taken. This is why we have a three stage entry so we risk little. When trading below to EMA on the 1H look for the short entries on the 5 min it is the safer option.

It is a simple process.

Look below the 1 hour price is below the EMA dragging the EMA towards a lower swing low.

We see a signal both on the 1 minute and the 5 minute charts to say go short. Both of these also gave the indication to close i.e. 1M was a regular bull div and the 5M was an RSI bull div.

Thnks for the answer.

So the Idea is: Respect the main trend and better dont figh it maybe just hedge if I was already in a trade or look for quick scalp moving fast to BE.
I take notes and continue studing.

Yep, all moves are preceded with some form of signal. we have to determine whether it is worth our trading it or not.

Just observing tonight. I don't see much happening at all.

Looking at the hour chart I would be expecting price to hit those lower average levels.

That is not me keeping them it is in the programming to just stop it extending when broken.

On my hand drawn charts I remove them
