One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the
benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and no hypothetical
trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading.

For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of the
trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other
factors related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which
cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results. All of which can
adversely affect actual trading results.

Divergence
Dear Trader,

Divergence is a very common tool used by traders to identify stronger


possibilities of a potential trade. Divergence is the disagreement
between the price movement and the indicator movement. There is
Bullish Divergence and Bearish Divergence. The indicators used to
spot divergence are oscillating indicators such as the MACD,
Stochastic Oscillator, RSI and other such oscillators. Divergence is
to be used along side your trading system’s rules and can offer a
higher probability trade.

There are 2 kinds of divergence,

Regular Divergence
Hidden Divergence

Regular Divergence is the most common kind of divergence, most


traders are familiar with this type. Once you have spotted this set up,
you can use a moving average crossover or a trendline break to
identify your entry level, or whatever rules your trading system has in
place.

Bearish Regular Divergence:


Regular divergence in an uptrend will suggest a possible short entry.
You will see price making higher highs, but the indicator will make a
lower high.

Bullish Regular Divergence:


Regular divergence in a downtrend will suggest a possible long entry.
You will see price making lower lows, but the indicator will make a
higher low.
Hidden Divergence is not as common as regular divergence. Most
traders are not even aware that it exists. It has also been referred to
as Slingshot Divergence. Once you have spotted this set up, you can
use a moving average crossover or a trendline break to identify your
entry level, or whatever rules your trading system has in place.

Bullish Hidden Divergence:


Hidden divergence in an uptrend will signal a possible continuation of
the uptrend. To identify hidden divergence, you will see the price
making higher lows, but the indicator will make a lower low.

Bearish Hidden Divergence:


Hidden divergence in a downtrend will signal a possible continuation
of the downtrend. To identify hidden divergence, you will see the
price making lower highs, but the indicator will make a higher high.

These different kinds of divergence will take some getting used to,
they are not often easy to spot as they are being formed. The way I
approach it is to generally look for the divergent set up after I get my
entry signal from my system. If I get a signal to go long, I will look to
see if my indicators are disagreeing with my price chart, possibly
showing me a better signal.

Divergence isn’t a system on it’s own, it simply an additional tool you


can use to better your chances of success.

It’s important to note, the peaks and valleys of the indicator must
associate to the peaks and valleys of the price.

Here are some diagrams to help you see what the setups look like.

NOTE:
Bearish Divergence is analyzed from the peaks of the price and
indicator.
Bullish Divergence is analyzed from the valleys of the chart and
indicator.
Here is a smaller version of the chart. If you choose, you can cut this
out and stick it into your computer so you can reference it until you
become familiar with it.

Next, I will show you an example of each of these divergent setups


on actual charts.

I hope you are able to get something out of this short ebook.
Divergence is a very powerful tool to add to your Trader’s Toolbox
and should not be overlooked. It will take a little bit of effort if you are
not used to looking for it, but once you become familiar with
divergence, these setups start to jump out at you.

The best of luck to you!

To your trading success
