Divergence Engine$

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.

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.
