That would be quite a move.
Maybe eg meant 2970?

He's normally pretty good with the flows.

ok - thanks , that clears it up a bit
no problem

if you use signal line to connect the divergences (red line), then it was a true hidden.

i think using signal to connect divergence is actually the correct way to do it, not the main. ill have to look into that this weekend

i wonder if it's possible to see on rsi? it takes ages to get used to a new indicator , well - maybe that's just me

Like you said, he is pretty good with the flows. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

He'll live to trade another day. That's all that matters.

should be possible to see it on RSI. try RSI 2 if you can't see it on RSI 3


i used to use RSI, switched to stoch last week.

Simply because of the momentum cross, other than that i dont see a difference in divergences between stoch and rsi

using the crossover is more conservative, typically results in a worse entry though.

Sure! Any oscillators will work. RSI, Momentum...CCI even.

and that was always the thing that turned me off indis in the first place , ifs , buts , maybes - on rsi i just look for divergence , ignore oversold/ overbought

Indeed! He's a good cat...knows what's up.

Wow is that a pretty popular saying?

Never heard it before but I'm stealing it from you!

Was the bug on Wednesday. Got face ripped off in the U shape reversal which still has yet to put in a 4hr lower fractal.

I picked it up somewhere. Steal away.

Got more than my share of bug moments. I'll just see how this one goes. Still in from .2886.

true it makes more complicated, just got an m5 bullish divergence (not hidden for once)

actually happened 20 minutes ago, but stoch didnt cross until 10 minutes ago

If you make a line on close chart it will show it as well.... because it is caused by the MM bringing price up or down within the range of a bar. In that way they can step the price up or down based on the close of the bar and hide it from those that focus on the high and the low. One reason I when working with lines... I use a close chart as well as a bar chart.


In fact with you mirror gizmo... you maybe able to plot a line on close "on-top" of a bar chart.

ill wait for a more defined top, close my 65 short -1

ive never been particularly good at entries that require a wide stop loss.
