- 0:40i didn't let those losses keep me from

- 0:44education and getting better and better
- 0:46day in and day out
- 0:47now i trade profitably on a consistent
- 0:49basis
- 0:50and 99.999 percent of my success
- 0:55is due to spotting a divergence whether
- 0:57it's a bullish or
- 0:59bearish regular divergence or a bullish
- 1:01or bearish
- 1:02hidden divergence i can see them every
- 1:05single time
- 1:06because it's all that i look for so
- 1:08let's jump into the charts and i'm going
- 1:10to show you
- 1:10examples of every single one of these
- 1:13and how to trade
- 1:14off of the divergence all right first
- 1:15thing that you're going to want to do
- 1:17is get on the charts on trading view you
- 1:19can find a link
- 1:20down below to the website it's
- 1:22tradingview.com what you want to do
- 1:24is get on the cryptocurrency or the
- 1:26indicy or the 4x
- 1:28pair that you trade most often and look
- 1:31at it
- 1:31on a one hour time frame we're not going
- 1:34to put any other indicators on here
- 1:36except for the rsi but we're not going
- 1:39to use the standard rsi settings i want
- 1:41you to adjust them like i have
- 1:43so click on the indicators tab and type
- 1:46in rsi
- 1:47it is in the built-ins it is the
- 1:48relative strength index
- 1:50put a star next to it you want it on
- 1:52every single one of your charts
- 1:54and click it once once it's up on your
- 1:56chart you're gonna see the indicator
- 1:57down here on the bottom it's gonna look
- 1:59different than mine but here's how you
- 2:01can adjust your settings
- 2:02click the settings wheel right here
- 2:04leave the length at 14
- 2:06and change the style i like yellow
- 2:08because that's the color theme of the
- 2:10channel so you can change your rsi color
- 2:12to yellow
- 2:13and you're going to change the upper
- 2:14band and lower band to 50 and 50
- 2:17making it a solid line not a dotted line
- 2:20then your rsi will
- 2:22look exactly like mine the reason we're
- 2:24doing it this way is because looking at
- 2:25the market as
- 2:26overbought or oversold is the wrong way
- 2:30to trade the rsi the rsi is a momentum
- 2:33indicator it is showing momentum in a
- 2:35specific direction
- 2:36likewise it also shows a loss of
- 2:39momentum
- 2:39in a certain direction and that's where
- 2:41the divergences come into effect
- 2:43so the first divergence example i want
- 2:45to show you
- 2:46is a regular bullish divergence you can
- 2:49see that the price was coming down for
- 2:51quite a period of time
- 2:53every single time creating a new lower
- 2:56low
- 2:57all the way down to here as these lows
- 3:00continue to form
- 3:01my eye is always going to the rsi to
- 3:04spot
- 3:05a big fat divergence this is how to
- 3:08catch
- 3:08a solid trend reversal so as you can see
- 3:11here the price created a lower low
- 3:13but on the rsi the rsi level
- 3:17of this bottom was 19 and for this
- 3:20bottom it was 21 meaning that the
- 3:23downwards momentum that the price
- 3:25action is showing is no longer valid
- 3:28because
- 3:28it's got a loss of momentum it's higher
- 3:30up on the relative
- 3:32strength index at this point it started
- 3:34to reject
- 3:35and come up now what i want you to do
- 3:37for entries is
- 3:38watch a solid rejection this candle is
- 3:40too small for a rejection so you want to
- 3:43wait for a subsequent candle in that
- 3:45direction
- 3:46at that point you can put in your order
- 3:50with a stop loss below the wick of this
- 3:53candle at the bottom here now what i
- 3:55want you to do when you're first
- 3:56starting out
- 3:57is set your risk to reward ratio for a
- 4:00one to two
- 4:01meaning that your risk is one and your
- 4:03reward is two
- 4:04once this target hits i want you to
- 4:07close ninety percent of your
- 4:08trade move your stop loss for the
- 4:11remaining
- 4:12ten percent into profit so it's a
- 4:14completely 100
- 4:15risk-free trade and let that thing ride
- 4:18until you're comfortable with your
- 4:20profits
- 4:21don't be greedy take your profits when
- 4:22you can if you're new
- 4:24just take 100 of the trade right here at
- 4:27a one to two so that's how to spot a
- 4:29trend reversal with a divergence on the
- 4:31way up now this
- 4:32is an example of a regular bearish
- 4:34divergence you can see the price was
- 4:36climbing up
- 4:37creating higher highs consistently and
- 4:39then at this higher high we had a
- 4:42rejection two rejection candles off of
- 4:44this high
- 4:45so again my eye goes to the rsi and we
- 4:48see a
- 4:49lower high on the rsi this is another
- 4:52divergence but this divergence
- 4:54means it's going to go down again
- 4:56putting in your short position here
- 4:58at the close of the second candle with
- 5:01your stop loss
- 5:02above the previous high targeting a one
- 5:05to two risk to reward ratio
- 5:07again once you get out of being a
- 5:09beginner day trader you can continue to
- 5:11hold these trades depending
- 5:13on the strength of the movement what i
- 5:15mean by that is seeing these big
- 5:17fat red candles shows a lot of momentum
- 5:20in that direction
- 5:21but again i want you to close 90 of your
- 5:24trade at your normal take profit level
- 5:26and then
- 5:27let the rest ride so just to clarify we
- 5:29had a higher high
- 5:31in the price action but a lower high in
- 5:33the rsi
- 5:34now there are two other types of
- 5:36divergences
- 5:37and these are the ones if you are new i
- 5:40want you to only
- 5:41use these they are hidden divergences
- 5:44now the reason i say if you are new
- 5:47because
- 5:48the number one rule in day trading and
- 5:50any forex trading trading
- 5:52cryptocurrencies
- 5:54is the trend is your friend always trade
- 5:56with the trend
- 5:58this is going to give you the highest
- 5:59probability of success
- 6:01the issue is how do you know if a trend
- 6:03is going to continue
- 6:04or reverse that's when the hidden
- 6:06divergences come into play so instead of
- 6:08waiting for a reversal
- 6:10we are actually going to trade with the
- 6:12trend looking for these hidden
- 6:14divergences
- 6:15this is an example of a hidden bullish
- 6:17divergence you can see that the price
- 6:20was making higher lows but on the rsi
- 6:24it was making a lower low now let me
- 6:27explain how this works
- 6:28the momentum was going up correct as it
- 6:31went up and started to come down
- 6:33it became more oversold at this point
- 6:37than it was at this point
- 6:38meaning that we are in an uptrend but at
- 6:41this point it is
- 6:42more oversold so if something is
- 6:45oversold
- 6:46it should continue up so we get this big
- 6:49fat rejection candle and these are the
- 6:50ones that are the strongest
- 6:52instead of waiting for two you can trade
- 6:54just off of this one
- 6:55go in for your long position targeting
- 6:58the bottom of that big move candle and
- 7:01going for a one to two risk to reward
- 7:03ratio
- 7:04now the other hidden divergence is on
- 7:06the downside it is a hidden bearish
- 7:08divergence
- 7:09the price is going down creating these
- 7:12lower highs yet at this point on the rsi
- 7:16it was much higher meaning that the
- 7:18market at that point was
- 7:20more overbought than it was at the
- 7:22previous high
- 7:23when something is overbought that means
- 7:25some selling should occur
- 7:26so that is your signal for the trend
- 7:28continuation down and again we got this
- 7:31big
- 7:32fat rejection candle and you could have
- 7:33traded off of that
- 7:35on your short position targeting the top
- 7:38of that candle as your stop loss
- 7:40going for a one to two risk to reward
- 7:43ratio now
- 7:44how much could you have made off of
- 7:46every single one of these trades that i
- 7:48just showed you
- 7:49on this this is euro australian dollar
- 7:52and with this one move you got 36 pips
- 7:55on australian dollar u.s dollar which is
- 7:58the hidden bullish divergence
- 8:00you would have gotten 41 pips on this
- 8:02one move now the regular divergences
- 8:04that i showed you were both
- 8:06on indices one was on us 30 and one was
- 8:09on
- 8:09the german 30. this one move right here
- 8:12this one to two risk to reward ratio
- 8:14got you a hundred point move on an
- 8:18index using a 0.01 lot
- 8:21size on this move this is a hundred
- 8:24dollars profit with a 50
- 8:26risk on us 30 we had that regular
- 8:29bullish divergence
- 8:30this is a 321
- 8:33point move with a 158 point
- 8:36stop loss so again on a 0.01
- 8:40depending on your contract size this
- 8:42could have profited you
- 8:43321 dollars and that was just in a few
- 8:46hours
- 8:47now all this analysis was done on the
- 8:49one hour time frame
- 8:50and i suggest you do this on a higher
- 8:53time frame because these divergences
- 8:55hold more weight than they would on the
- 8:58five minute or the one minute
- 9:00the concept still works the same on
- 9:02every single time frame
- 9:03you just need to be more aware of the
- 9:05fact that there are more
- 9:07false signals on lower time frames now
- 9:10when it comes to
- 9:11false signals this is how you can
- 9:13actually prevent yourself from getting
- 9:15in
- 9:16on a false signal and waiting for more
- 9:19confirmation and more confluence
- 9:21using a trend line on these trend
- 9:23reversal trades
- 9:25so it's only for the regular bullish
- 9:27divergence
- 9:28or the regular bearish divergence trades
- 9:30i'm going to get rid of my order
- 9:32position right here and what we're going
- 9:34to do
- 9:34is actually draw a trend line i have a
- 9:37trend line drawn here to show you
- 9:39the lower low and the higher low on the
- 9:41rsi
- 9:42but what we're gonna do is draw a trend
- 9:45line
- 9:45on this price action as the price is
- 9:48continuing down it is maintaining a
- 9:51trend so you draw a trend line across
- 9:54the tops of the highs
- 9:56and once the price actually breaks
- 9:58through that trend line
- 10:00and you're getting the divergence here
- 10:02on the rsi
- 10:04at this point we've broken the trend
- 10:07and the trend is reversing because we
- 10:10can see that in the rsi with the
- 10:12divergence
- 10:13so at this point is when you can get
- 10:15into your long position
- 10:16always wait for the close of the candle
- 10:19because the close of the candle
- 10:21is more concrete than waiting until it's
- 10:23almost closed
- 10:24because it could wick back down being a
- 10:27false
- 10:27breakout of the trend again let me show
- 10:30you this on
- 10:31the german 30 drawing a trend line
- 10:33across the bottoms of the price
- 10:36action you can see that once we broke
- 10:38out of that trend we came up to retest
- 10:41rejected down and formed a new trend
- 10:43causing a trend reversal and
- 10:46that would have been your entry point so
- 10:47you probably would have waited for this
- 10:49big fat rejection candle
- 10:51again targeting your stop loss above the
- 10:54high
- 10:54of that candle also if you guys are

- 11:08i look for divergences and i look for
- 11:10breaks in trend lines i look for regular
- 11:12or
- 11:12hidden divergences to see if my analysis
- 11:16was correct
- 11:17on that you can see that i'm not using
- 11:19any other indicators
