Maybe you should code it to draw the lines for you to help spot them.

Tried that boss. Spotting a top or bottom with code is not so easy and its also not always the previous top or bottom to take into account with divergence. Got it working in a fashion but tricky stuff.

Not so exciting when your TP gets hit and price rockets way past due to bad dollar news. +70 Pips today makes up for yesterdays slowness.
It is what it is, profit.

It pays to add little comments on the chart to remind us of what may happen...

A bit late in the day but saw the M15 divergence so put a tester long trade on. Then had to nip out elsewhere so closed it for +6. Come back to find it following the plan. Dang you GU.

Trend is down on M15, i try my luck after i saw news can't take price close above bear support. Price close in DIV here and we have target enough for 40 pips.

I guess we now know the daily target once we get daily bear support!!
180 pips away and I will have died from boredom before we get there.

Looking at todays action I was of the opinion at LO to go long also Fantaburk had similar thoughts, RSi very low and OS. Lots of divergence all the way down and we know if divergence fails to cross the EMA it will make a LL. I really struggle at this point on M5 and M15 of is it a failure or not. The pullback long appears slow and sluggish sometimes crossing the EMA and we think happy days its going up to get blown away for BE or even worse a 1% loss. I am just wondering if Nala has any advice on how to detect an EMA failure. My approach is to get to BE soon as poss and stick a pending short below the turning point in case it turns again.

I also struggle on days where price keeps failing divs and grinds on. Only seeing reason for price to turn instead of keep going. For sure one of my bygger flaws.

I guess the answer for the trading on Friday was take the bull divergence trade which was a loss and take the Trend continuation short trade as shown by M15 bear divergence to recoup the previous loss trade. Easy in hindsight. Being in OS doesn't always mean its gonna turn up soon.

yeah I mean during LO price never even touches the m5 ema, let alone closes above it so the signs where there to see clearly that we shouldn't fight it.
But it is a few days late to think of that today..

Similar theme to last Friday. Failed divergence= LL but didnt really get to far before the turn around to get hit for a stoploss. Quickly went the other way and recovered the loss +$3. Try again tomoz. Very slow day but looks like the daily is trying for Bear support.

On M15, i see down trend as price try attack EMA swing below. At time trade, price can't break bear support and in DIV bear --> short and we also have EMA target. On the way down, it finish AB=CD target and in DIV bull --> hedge if want as price can return to EMA, notice we are not finish EMA target yet --> trend may continous go down
Later it is finish our EMA target and in DIV bull in EMA swing level --> EMA may change and attack EMA target above
