Well it's all in the title. I'm new to trading. Read about several ways during the last month and I feel that the divergence is the way to go.

i think GDR is mostly right. IMO, the only useful application of any indicator IS divergence, but it MUST be confirmed through price action. Muhammed, the NZD chart you posted might indeed indicate a slowing in upward momentum, but the lack of any definable swing points in the 4H is troubling. You might see a decent drop followed by a resurgence or perhaps consolidation for a while before trending south for a bit. THis, of course, is why you should NEVER simply sell in a market like that trying to pick a top. ALWAYS wait for price confirmation. and good luck!

Best thing I can suggest is to do exactly what I did, watch the charts on their own with out any indicators. Look at past price movement, look at certain areas; the opening price of certain candles, look at the charts and you will see what I mean and more importantly, certain candlesticks where price will hit and immediately bounce back from. This is where the big orders are (again, look at past price history to be able to spot them for future price movement), the candles or areas when hit, most likely will make a pair change direction. Re look, observe, apply the theory to future price movement, "price will hit this candle or the opening price of this candle and then bounce back", add your position accordingly with a good stop loss order and profit target. Rinse, repeat. Profit.

That is how I trade the Forex market.

I like your approach, it's like that guy Mr. Ive the vice president of apple you just had to add at the end " you gonna love your price action" .... and this sounds like trading the support and resistance levels right ?

You probably know by now through your research that the indicator MACD was created by Gerald Appel in the 1970s. Do you think Gerald Appel himself knew how to use this indicator better than the "experts" in forex forums?

You should also Google search for J Welles Wilder Jr who created the indicator RSI, and introduced the concept of bullish and bearish divergences. Then his disciple Andrew E Cardwell Jr discovered positive and negative divergences, or what people called "hidden" divergences. Sounds academic to know there are 4 types of divergences, but probably a good place to start before getting 1001 explanations from 101 forum members.
