Plots Divergence Lines Right on the Chart
Dynamically plots trendlines and labels on the chart showing places where positive and negative divergence are present. A custom scan and chart based alerts are included. Able to plot swing high and lows. Also includes a color legend to easily identify one type of divergence from another. Along with the new indicator we have published a video titled “TS Divergence Lines Indicator”. In this video we show how to adjust the settings and run the scan. Included in the video is a live chart demo showing how the chart based alerts function in real time. At the request of viewers, we have also added a companion study, available separately. The companion study measures hidden divergence.

We realize there are many techniques employed for reading divergence. We tried to be as accommodating as possible using a variety of features in the TS platform. I’m sure you will be very excited to see the many ways these indicators can be customized to fit your needs.

Technical description of how the code works:
The code is designed to locate swing pivots in price. This is the first step. The swing pivots are defined using a default lookback period of 3. Increasing the lookback period causes the code to locate larger structures (macro as opposed to micro). The swing pivots are set by default to compare highs and lows. This can be adjusted to compare the close of each candle instead of the high/low. When plotted, each swing pivot is marked with a blue square.
For each swing pivot, the code compares the value of the lower study at the current swing pivot to the value of the lower study at the previous swing pivot. Lower swing pivot with a higher price momentum will generate a positive divergence signal. Higher swing pivot with a lower price momentum will generate a negative divergence. The default is to compare (on the price chart) low to low and high to high, in order to determine if swing pivots are higher or lower. This behavior can be adjusted so that the comparison is made from close to close.
Before requesting to purchase any of these indicators it is very important that you watch the demo video, otherwise you will not have the knowledge needed to adjust the indicator settings to get the behavior you seek.
