RSI divergence indicator finds divergences between price chart and RSI indicator and informs you with alerts (popup, mobile notification or email). Its main use is to find trend reversals in the chart.
Always use the divergence indicators with other technical assets like support resistance zones, candlestick patterns and price action to have a higher possibility to find trend reversals.
Three confirmation type for RSI divergences:
- RSI line cross 50 level
- Price returns to previous H/L
- Creating a new ZigZag leg in price chart
When divergence is confirmed, the indicator draws an arrow on the chart (not for the new ZigZag leg confirmation type).
This indicator uses ZigZag indicator to determine trend direction and HH/LL of the price, you can change the ZigZag parameters in the indicator’s input window. You can add the ZigZag Indicator to your chart template to have a better look of painted divergences.
– You can set the indicator to alert only when RSI divergence occurs in the overbought/oversold levels.
– The indicator has two buffers that you can use in your EA, one shows the RSI value and the other buffer (Divergence Type) shows “1” for bullish divergences and “-1” for bearish divergences. You can check them out in the “Data Window” (Ctrl+D).
