Divergence trading is probably one of the most underrated technical analysis techniques that many new traders overlook. It is not as popular as a technique as most simplistic trading setups are. 然而, with the right oscillator indicator and the right parameters, traders could significantly improve their trading accuracy using divergences.
Divergences are basically discrepancies in the magnitude of the price swings based on price action compared to the swings based on peaks and troughs on an oscillator.
在交易, oscillators are technical indicators which typically indicate momentum by plotting lines or histogram bars that oscillate around a median or within a range. These oscillators would usually follow the movement of price action quite closely. It creates peaks whenever swing highs are formed and troughs whenever swing lows are formed.
The height and depth of an oscillators peaks and troughs would usually mirror that of the swing high and swing low of price action. 然而, there are instances wherein the height and depth of the peaks and troughs of an oscillator would differ from that of price action. These conditions are called divergences. Below is a chart of what the different types of divergences look like.
Hidden Divergences are particularly interesting because this type of divergence typically occurs in a trending market as defined by price action traders. Price action traders define an uptrend as price action creating higher swing highs and swing lows, while downtrends are defined as price action creating lower swing highs and swing lows. Based on the chart above, this is exactly what hidden divergence price action looks like. 然而, the oscillator in a hidden divergence would create an exaggerated peak or trough which indicates that price is overextended. This creates a prime condition for price to reverse and create and price swing in the direction of the trend.
Here we will examine a hidden divergence setup using a custom technical indicator, which is the Zero Lag MACD.
零滯後MACD
The Zero Lag MACD is a custom technical indicator which is based on the classic Moving Average Convergence and Divergence (Macd).
The classic MACD is a popular momentum oscillator which is based on the crossover of two moving average lines. It plots its MACD line based on the difference of two underlying moving average lines. This is called the MACD line. Other versions plot a histogram bar rather than a line, such as the Zero Lag MACD. The MACD then plots a signal line which is a moving average derived from the main MACD line or histogram.
Crossovers between the MACD line or histogram and the signal line indicate a momentum reversal. Traders can use this as an entry signal based on momentum reversals.
The location of the crossover also indicates the probability of the reversal. Crossovers occurring far from the midline indicate that price is either overbought or oversold and could be prime for a sharp reversal.
該指標, being an oscillator, also works well when used with divergence techniques.
The traditional MACD may at times be too lagging. The Zero Lag MACD is a version of the MACD which significantly decreases the amount of lag making the indicator a great momentum reversal indicator.
卡特MA
Carter MA is a custom technical indicator which is based on moving averages. It plots a set of modified moving average lines which can be used to identify trend direction.
Traders use common moving average line periods to identify short-term, 中長期趨勢, such as the 21-period, 50-時期, 100-period and 200-period moving average lines. Carter MA plots these moving average lines which helps traders identify the general trend direction.
Trend direction can be identified using the Carter MA indicator based on how the moving average lines are stacked. The market is in an uptrend if the short-term moving average lines are above the long-term moving average lines, and in a downtrend if the short-term moving average lines are below the long-term moving average lines. Traders can also identify if the market is reversing if the lines are crossing over or if the market is not trending if the lines are not clearly stacked.
The areas between the lines could also act as a dynamic area of support or resistance. Traders can trade bounces from these areas trading in the direction of the trend.
