  27. 0:50and 99.999 percent of my success
  28. 0:55is due to spotting a divergence whether
  29. 0:57it's a bullish or
  30. 0:59bearish regular divergence or a bullish
  31. 1:01or bearish
  32. 1:02hidden divergence i can see them every
  33. 1:05single time
  34. 1:06because it's all that i look for so
  35. 1:08let's jump into the charts and i'm going
  36. 1:10to show you
  37. 1:10examples of every single one of these
  38. 1:13and how to trade
  39. 1:14off of the divergence all right first
  40. 1:15thing that you're going to want to do
  41. 1:17is get on the charts on trading view you
  42. 1:19can find a link
  43. 1:20down below to the website it's
  44. 1:22tradingview.com what you want to do
  45. 1:24is get on the cryptocurrency or the
  46. 1:26indicy or the 4x
  47. 1:28pair that you trade most often and look
  48. 1:31at it
  49. 1:31on a one hour time frame we're not going
  50. 1:34to put any other indicators on here
  51. 1:36except for the rsi but we're not going
  52. 1:39to use the standard rsi settings i want
  53. 1:41you to adjust them like i have
  54. 1:43so click on the indicators tab and type
  55. 1:46in rsi
  56. 1:47it is in the built-ins it is the
  57. 1:48relative strength index
  58. 1:50put a star next to it you want it on
  59. 1:52every single one of your charts
  60. 1:54and click it once once it's up on your
  61. 1:56chart you're gonna see the indicator
  62. 1:57down here on the bottom it's gonna look
  63. 1:59different than mine but here's how you
  64. 2:01can adjust your settings
  65. 2:02click the settings wheel right here
  66. 2:04leave the length at 14
  67. 2:06and change the style i like yellow
  68. 2:08because that's the color theme of the
  69. 2:10channel so you can change your rsi color
  70. 2:12to yellow
  71. 2:13and you're going to change the upper
  72. 2:14band and lower band to 50 and 50
  73. 2:17making it a solid line not a dotted line
  74. 2:20then your rsi will
  75. 2:22look exactly like mine the reason we're
  76. 2:24doing it this way is because looking at
  77. 2:25the market as
  78. 2:26overbought or oversold is the wrong way
  79. 2:30to trade the rsi the rsi is a momentum
  80. 2:33indicator it is showing momentum in a
  81. 2:35specific direction
  82. 2:36likewise it also shows a loss of
  83. 2:39momentum
  84. 2:39in a certain direction and that's where
  85. 2:41the divergences come into effect
  86. 2:43so the first divergence example i want
  87. 2:45to show you
  88. 2:46is a regular bullish divergence you can
  89. 2:49see that the price was coming down for
  90. 2:51quite a period of time
  91. 2:53every single time creating a new lower
  92. 2:56low
  93. 2:57all the way down to here as these lows
  94. 3:00continue to form
  95. 3:01my eye is always going to the rsi to
  96. 3:04spot
  97. 3:05a big fat divergence this is how to
  98. 3:08catch
  99. 3:08a solid trend reversal so as you can see
  100. 3:11here the price created a lower low
  101. 3:13but on the rsi the rsi level
  102. 3:17of this bottom was 19 and for this
  103. 3:20bottom it was 21 meaning that the
  104. 3:23downwards momentum that the price
  105. 3:25action is showing is no longer valid
  106. 3:28because
  107. 3:28it's got a loss of momentum it's higher
  108. 3:30up on the relative
  109. 3:32strength index at this point it started
  110. 3:34to reject
  111. 3:35and come up now what i want you to do
  112. 3:37for entries is
  113. 3:38watch a solid rejection this candle is
  114. 3:40too small for a rejection so you want to
  115. 3:43wait for a subsequent candle in that
  116. 3:45direction
  117. 3:46at that point you can put in your order
  118. 3:50with a stop loss below the wick of this
  119. 3:53candle at the bottom here now what i
  120. 3:55want you to do when you're first
  121. 3:56starting out
  122. 3:57is set your risk to reward ratio for a
  123. 4:00one to two
  124. 4:01meaning that your risk is one and your
  125. 4:03reward is two
  126. 4:04once this target hits i want you to
  127. 4:07close ninety percent of your
  128. 4:08trade move your stop loss for the
  129. 4:11remaining
  130. 4:12ten percent into profit so it's a
  131. 4:14completely 100
  132. 4:15risk-free trade and let that thing ride
  133. 4:18until you're comfortable with your
  134. 4:20profits
  135. 4:21don't be greedy take your profits when
  136. 4:22you can if you're new
  137. 4:24just take 100 of the trade right here at
  138. 4:27a one to two so that's how to spot a
  139. 4:29trend reversal with a divergence on the
  140. 4:31way up now this
  141. 4:32is an example of a regular bearish
  142. 4:34divergence you can see the price was
  143. 4:36climbing up
  144. 4:37creating higher highs consistently and
  145. 4:39then at this higher high we had a
  146. 4:42rejection two rejection candles off of
  147. 4:44this high
  148. 4:45so again my eye goes to the rsi and we
  149. 4:48see a
  150. 4:49lower high on the rsi this is another
  151. 4:52divergence but this divergence
  152. 4:54means it's going to go down again
  153. 4:56putting in your short position here
  154. 4:58at the close of the second candle with
  155. 5:01your stop loss
  156. 5:02above the previous high targeting a one
  157. 5:05to two risk to reward ratio
  158. 5:07again once you get out of being a
  159. 5:09beginner day trader you can continue to
  160. 5:11hold these trades depending
  161. 5:13on the strength of the movement what i
  162. 5:15mean by that is seeing these big
  163. 5:17fat red candles shows a lot of momentum
  164. 5:20in that direction
  165. 5:21but again i want you to close 90 of your
  166. 5:24trade at your normal take profit level
  167. 5:26and then
  168. 5:27let the rest ride so just to clarify we
  169. 5:29had a higher high
  170. 5:31in the price action but a lower high in
  171. 5:33the rsi
  172. 5:34now there are two other types of
  173. 5:36divergences
  174. 5:37and these are the ones if you are new i
  175. 5:40want you to only
  176. 5:41use these they are hidden divergences
  177. 5:44now the reason i say if you are new
  178. 5:47because
  179. 5:48the number one rule in day trading and
  180. 5:50any forex trading trading
  181. 5:52cryptocurrencies
  182. 5:54is the trend is your friend always trade
  183. 5:56with the trend
  184. 5:58this is going to give you the highest
  185. 5:59probability of success
  186. 6:01the issue is how do you know if a trend
  187. 6:03is going to continue
  188. 6:04or reverse that's when the hidden
  189. 6:06divergences come into play so instead of
  190. 6:08waiting for a reversal
  191. 6:10we are actually going to trade with the
  192. 6:12trend looking for these hidden
  193. 6:14divergences
  194. 6:15this is an example of a hidden bullish
  195. 6:17divergence you can see that the price
  196. 6:20was making higher lows but on the rsi
  197. 6:24it was making a lower low now let me
  198. 6:27explain how this works
  199. 6:28the momentum was going up correct as it
  200. 6:31went up and started to come down
  201. 6:33it became more oversold at this point
  202. 6:37than it was at this point
  203. 6:38meaning that we are in an uptrend but at
  204. 6:41this point it is
  205. 6:42more oversold so if something is
  206. 6:45oversold
  207. 6:46it should continue up so we get this big
  208. 6:49fat rejection candle and these are the
  209. 6:50ones that are the strongest
  210. 6:52instead of waiting for two you can trade
  211. 6:54just off of this one
  212. 6:55go in for your long position targeting
  213. 6:58the bottom of that big move candle and
  214. 7:01going for a one to two risk to reward
  215. 7:03ratio
  216. 7:04now the other hidden divergence is on
  217. 7:06the downside it is a hidden bearish
  218. 7:08divergence
  219. 7:09the price is going down creating these
  220. 7:12lower highs yet at this point on the rsi
  221. 7:16it was much higher meaning that the
  222. 7:18market at that point was
  223. 7:20more overbought than it was at the
  224. 7:22previous high
  225. 7:23when something is overbought that means
  226. 7:25some selling should occur
  227. 7:26so that is your signal for the trend
  228. 7:28continuation down and again we got this
  229. 7:31big
  230. 7:32fat rejection candle and you could have
  231. 7:33traded off of that
  232. 7:35on your short position targeting the top
  233. 7:38of that candle as your stop loss
  234. 7:40going for a one to two risk to reward
  235. 7:43ratio now
  236. 7:44how much could you have made off of
  237. 7:46every single one of these trades that i
  238. 7:48just showed you
  239. 7:49on this this is euro australian dollar
  240. 7:52and with this one move you got 36 pips
  241. 7:55on australian dollar u.s dollar which is
  242. 7:58the hidden bullish divergence
  243. 8:00you would have gotten 41 pips on this
  244. 8:02one move now the regular divergences
  245. 8:04that i showed you were both
  246. 8:06on indices one was on us 30 and one was
  247. 8:09on
  248. 8:09the german 30. this one move right here
  249. 8:12this one to two risk to reward ratio
  250. 8:14got you a hundred point move on an
  251. 8:18index using a 0.01 lot
  252. 8:21size on this move this is a hundred
  253. 8:24dollars profit with a 50
  254. 8:26risk on us 30 we had that regular
  255. 8:29bullish divergence
  256. 8:30this is a 321
  257. 8:33point move with a 158 point
  258. 8:36stop loss so again on a 0.01
  259. 8:40depending on your contract size this
  260. 8:42could have profited you
  261. 8:43321 dollars and that was just in a few
  262. 8:46hours
  263. 8:47now all this analysis was done on the
  264. 8:49one hour time frame
  265. 8:50and i suggest you do this on a higher
  266. 8:53time frame because these divergences
  267. 8:55hold more weight than they would on the
  268. 8:58five minute or the one minute
  269. 9:00the concept still works the same on
  270. 9:02every single time frame
  271. 9:03you just need to be more aware of the
  272. 9:05fact that there are more
  273. 9:07false signals on lower time frames now
  274. 9:10when it comes to
  275. 9:11false signals this is how you can
  276. 9:13actually prevent yourself from getting
  277. 9:15in
  278. 9:16on a false signal and waiting for more
  279. 9:19confirmation and more confluence
  280. 9:21using a trend line on these trend
  281. 9:23reversal trades
  282. 9:25so it's only for the regular bullish
  283. 9:27divergence
  284. 9:28or the regular bearish divergence trades
  285. 9:30i'm going to get rid of my order
  286. 9:32position right here and what we're going
  287. 9:34to do
  288. 9:34is actually draw a trend line i have a
  289. 9:37trend line drawn here to show you
  290. 9:39the lower low and the higher low on the
  291. 9:41rsi
  292. 9:42but what we're gonna do is draw a trend
  293. 9:45line
  294. 9:45on this price action as the price is
  295. 9:48continuing down it is maintaining a
  296. 9:51trend so you draw a trend line across
  297. 9:54the tops of the highs
  298. 9:56and once the price actually breaks
  299. 9:58through that trend line
  300. 10:00and you're getting the divergence here
  301. 10:02on the rsi
  302. 10:04at this point we've broken the trend
  303. 10:07and the trend is reversing because we
  304. 10:10can see that in the rsi with the
  305. 10:12divergence
  306. 10:13so at this point is when you can get
  307. 10:15into your long position
  308. 10:16always wait for the close of the candle
  309. 10:19because the close of the candle
  310. 10:21is more concrete than waiting until it's
  311. 10:23almost closed
  312. 10:24because it could wick back down being a
  313. 10:27false
  314. 10:27breakout of the trend again let me show
  315. 10:30you this on
  316. 10:31the german 30 drawing a trend line
  317. 10:33across the bottoms of the price
  318. 10:36action you can see that once we broke
  319. 10:38out of that trend we came up to retest
  320. 10:41rejected down and formed a new trend
  321. 10:43causing a trend reversal and
  322. 10:46that would have been your entry point so
  323. 10:47you probably would have waited for this
  324. 10:49big fat rejection candle
  325. 10:51again targeting your stop loss above the
  326. 10:54high
  327. 10:54of that candle also if you guys are
  328. 10:56still watching this video that means
  329. 10:58that you like the video so make sure
  330. 10:59you're dropping a like down below
  331. 11:00every single time i see a trade setup
  332. 11:04the first thing i do is stop and i don't
  333. 11:06click those buttons
  334. 11:08i look for divergences and i look for
  335. 11:10breaks in trend lines i look for regular
  336. 11:12or
  337. 11:12hidden divergences to see if my analysis
  338. 11:16was correct
  339. 11:17on that you can see that i'm not using
  340. 11:19any other indicators
  341. 11:20except for price action and the rsi but
  342. 11:24genuinely
  343. 11:24i get so many dms and so many messages
