Nice :)

Why are you preferring MACD Divergence instead of CCI+Heiken Ashi+Range bars?

Hi Flinux : I really have no preference .

To be honest I am trying to teach my son to trade , and he had trouble seeing the cci method .

So we began using this divergence method and he has caught on quickly .

I guess it proves that we all see things a little differently .

I'm finding that divergence is a very powerful edge with the longer time frames .

Between work and family I have less time to trade and a M30 or H1 chart gives me 2-4 trades per week , which is a good fit right now .

Btw ..the trade this a.m. gave about 50 pips ...

Good Trading to you ... :D

Great to hear you teach your son!
I like to do that one day when they are some older,I think 8 and 3 is still a little bit to young. Besides that, it gives me some more time to learn it myself :)
For me, I don´ t really understand ´how´ to draw the divergence lines. Can it be applied on each high/low and on each indicator? Or is the MACD the best to be used for the divergence signals. As I understand you´ve got two different divergences, negative and positive. I also read about hidden divergence. Is this yet another type?
Which type is the strongest? Perhaps i´m asking dumb questions but I want to know!
Regards, Phil

hehe..there are no dumb questions Phil , we all learn from each other ..

Divergence is very simple , don't let the terms confuse you .

When price makes a higher high ..and the oscilator makes a lower high ..
That is bearish divergence ( sell signal )

When price makes a lower low ..and the oscilator makes a higher low ..
That is bullish divergence ( buy signal )

( hidden or reverse divergence usually occurs in a trend direction rather than a reversal ..but don't even worry about that yet ..learn the regular divergences first )

This indy will draw the divergences for you and help you to see them ..go slow ..take time to let it sink in

dchappy, could you provide your results with the MACD divergence method (in term of % profit of real account). I always broke-even when trading this in the past.

Entered short.
Enabled the TS of 12 pips, allready in the profit.

Lets see how far we come.


Chappy, thank you for the explanation. I will study them when i´ve got more time later on.

Enjoy your day!
