Stochastic Divergence Indicator
A super tool for finding divergences using the classic stochastic divergence indicator. It supports alerts, multiple timeframes and different types of discrepancies.
Description
Divergences occur when the highs/lows on the price chart and the highs/lows on the stochastic divergence indicator chart show different dynamics.
Technical analysts distinguish:
- Classic (or usual) divergences that signal a trend reversal.
- Hidden divergences, signaling trend continuation.
Since divergences between price and indicator give many false signals, consider the big picture. Prioritize sell signals in bear markets and buy signals in bull markets to increase your likelihood of making a profit.
How to look for divergence in Forex?
Try the Stochastic Divergence indicator for MT5, the best tool for finding divergences between price and the classic stochastic oscillator.
The indicator effectively searches for divergences on a given timeframe and notifies you as soon as they appear. You won’t miss a single signal because you can choose to display arrows on the chart, receive signals by email, or receive them as a notification in the Alerts window.
With this indicator you can analyze how effective divergences are in the selected market. The figure above shows how the indicator provides fairly accurate short entries in a EURUSD bear market.
The stochastic divergence indicator has an important advantage because you can adjust the time frame to look for divergences. This will help you find the best moment during the day to buy and sell.
Buy signals with Stochastic Divergence Indicator
When you see new higher highs and lows, pay attention to the stochastic divergence indicator. Blue arrows will show you a signal to enter a long position in the direction of the bullish trend.

Sell signals with Stochastic Divergence Indicator
When price breaks the support line and you see new lower highs and lows, pay attention to the stochastic divergence indicator.

Take profit (in whole or in part), for example, if you receive an opposing buy signal.
