Overview
This divergence indicator for NinjaTrader 8 recognizes divergence patterns based on swing-point analysis. For a swing to be detected, a delay of N bars is required. Therefore, divergence signals are delayed by N bars, where N = 3 by default for accurate identification (N is at least 1). However, this delay is not serious because a valid divergence has a long-term effect, often tens or hundreds of bars afterward.
How can we catch a swing high exactly at its peak?
Only after some more bars without further price increase can we know it is a swing high.
Are you looking for a robust RSI divergence indicator for NinjaTrader 8? ninZa.co has one! And wonderfully, it is not only compatible with RSI, but also with any other oscillator of your choice! We are excited to introduce Divergence Engine$ - our AMAZING NinjaTrader divergence indicator that catches REGULAR divergences, which signal potential trend reversals. As for hidden divergences, please check out its brother: Divergence Hidden$.
This is a UNIVERSAL solution to regular divergence trading. Divergences can be identified by comparing price action and an oscillator of your choice. Yes, you can freely use this NinjaTrader divergence indicator with RSI or MACD, stochastic, CCI... Any indicators, from any vendors! That's why the indicator name is "Engine$", just like an engine that can be installed in any cars. Upon purchasing this indicator, you will receive a Trader Manual with step-by-step instructions to help you select any oscillator of yours for divergence identification.
How does Divergence Engine$ work?
Let's take an example in which we use RSI with our NinjaTrader 8 divergence indicator to identify bullish and bearish regular divergences:
- Bullish regular divergence: the RSI oscillator makes a higher low while the price makes a lower/equal low.
- Bearish regular divergence: the RSI oscillator makes a lower high while the price makes a higher/equal high.
With its dedicated NinjaScript signals, Divergence Engine$ can be used in Market Analyzer to scan tens or even thousands of instruments at the same time for divergence signals. Let's imagine how it can save you time and effort in monitoring multiple markets and searching for profit opportunities from trend reversals.
The "Lookback" feature allows you to scan up to 10 latest swing points for divergence patterns. "Lookback" comes with minimum & maximum definitions so that you can specify a lookback range of your favorite. For example, you only wish to scan for divergences that are based on at least 3 latest swing points and at most 5 latest swing points. We had to use a very sophisticated algorithm in order to program this feature.

FAQs
1. Do professional traders use divergence?
Yes, professional traders often use divergence in their technical analysis to identify potential trend reversals or continuations. Divergence occurs when the price of an asset moves in the opposite direction of a technical indicator.
2. Is ninZa.co Divergence Engine$ best for divergence?
You can definitely use Divergence Engine$ for detecting divergence. It is a specialized indicator for detecting potential reversals by identifying divergence signals where the price and the oscillator move in opposite directions.
3. Is RSI or MACD better for divergence?
RSI is most effective for identifying overbought or oversold conditions in range-bound markets. On the other hand, MACD is particularly good at confirming trends and momentum in trending markets. By using both RSI and MACD together, traders can achieve a more comprehensive market analysis and minimize the likelihood of false signals.
