Yeah I am confuse to what you are trying to say. Care to elaborate?
Thats ok, I was looking at the yellow line on your chart compared to the red one on the indicator, I didn't notice the red one on the chart as well.

Hi Binyamin.
May I ask, when you're doing the backtest, did you take the divergence including the wicks or only took divergence from the open/close of the candles?

Anyway, I saw a bearish hidden divergence in the making on gbpusd H1.. Will keep an eye on that..

Edit: opened a short trade on gbpusd at .6133 sl around .6160..
Hit sl. Ah well no problem..

audusd is making a hidden divergence. Just need to wait for some kind of conformation..

AU looks good it is at a daily pivot with a round number 1.02. I will definitely take it if the right trigger occurs.

Hi, everyone.. This is my first post.

Possible trade on EURNZD: pinbar and bearish divergence on stochastic oscillator. TF- daily.
Welcome to this thread whydak.

re: EUR/NZD - I do not see a trade on this pair - not seeing divergence or a good looking pin bar

hope this helps
cheers

Thanks for the post. Actually I'm outside for now, having drinks with my friends. Anyway yeah thats the setup, but just wait for any reversal conformation. Like binyamin says, maybe we'll get a nice setup around 1.02 round number.. Cheers

I saw it on daily time frame (not 1H), and I also use stochastic oscillator (not RSI).

In GY there was a div with a bullish engulfing for a trigger. I missed it, I was having lunch.(I should start trading it off my IPAD)

This is a good example to point out the fact that divs indicate deceleration. Notice the difference between the gradient of the yellow trend line and the red one? Well that it self triggered the divergence.
Just asking, is there any way we can post screenshots from iphone/ipads/android phones? Thanks.

it appears that we might get potential setups on a few USD pairs for hidden divergence

GU looks the most promising as it is just at the upper boundary of a falling channel around 1.6170. Looking for short setup then trigger sometime in the next couple hours into NY session.

Similar setups on both AU and NU also. Draw your trendlines, and look for hidden divergence wit RSI

Hey folks nice and active thread right here. From my backtest this year I have been getting good results with 75% win rate for 6 pairs on average, with 1% risk pertrade it got me 30% to date this year.(I am now forward testing to verify statistics) I just want to bring up an observation. I notice the Range Breaker method from Razorman which PurePrice drew his inspiration from draws his trend line from the close or open of the bars NOT the wicks. I notice many of you drawing from the wicks

For a while I have been trying to figure out why and I...
Thanks for the backtest results. This is very encouraging indeed. Please let us know how your forward test results turn out.

Yeah plenty of them. Did enter usdcad for a long trade at the break of the small candle. Watching gbpusd if I can get a better price to short, missed the pinbar break in m30.

Edit: usdx is also showing a divergence to go long (im using trade interceptor to monitor usdollar)

A lot of time I was away from my trading computer. So I used to trade from my phone. There is a charting/monitoring apps called trade interceptor. I dont know if they can be used at the computer, but you can try and google it.. Cheers

NP, I have to mention that from backtesting I find that in order for me to avoid certain losses I have to actively manage my trades like bringing the SL to BE once price has gone some distance and penetrated an important area for example.

In doing so in my backtest I happen to usually bring my SL to break even half way to the first profit. I also have to add that if I couldn't visually see any evidence of price deceleration and RSI happen to show a divergence I will ignore any trigger. I don't know if it will be a good idea in the long run.

I hope more people do their backtest too so that we can verify from each other. Beware of biases when you backtest though.

That is great. Do you mind sharing your mm strategy with the group here, as that is a very important aspect of trading?

Thanks in advance
