Divergences

Well, overwhelmed with the mail tonight! So I felt those intrested in 
divergence type of trading, feel free to let me know, and I will do all I can 
to spot them and let you know.

You must understand when one trades divergences on the hourly charts you 
could be in the trade for 3 or more days. On the hourly charts I find 
divergences occur only 2-3 times in anyone month. On the daily charts they 
occur 2-3 times a year and on the weekly charts only 2-3 in 3 years. So your 
not trading everyday for sure. 

I am not an expert by far, divergences have been traded by many traders that 
are probably far better than I.  It is a well kept secret I have been trading 
for 3 years, I heard about them, but never truely understood why and how they 
occur, until the last two months someone was kind enough to share with me 
those hidden jewels, that were in front of my face all this time.

The way I trade the divergences, and understand I like trading the type2 
divergence over others because they are more reliable. If a market is in a 45 
degree uptrend and I get a bearish divergence, I will not short against the 
main trend, instead I will wait for the bearish correction and when it goes 
up again, I will go long in that market, this is buying on the dips of a 
uptrending market. Same goes true with a down trending market.

If the market levels out on the top making equal highs or higher highs and 
the stochastics or whatever oscillator you enjoy using is making lower highs, 
yes I would short the market with no reservations.

Bullish divergences in a downtrending market, will not be traded as I would 
wait for the market to peak and start down and then I would short it.

Well there are no hard and fast rules, you trade how you trade, these are my 
convictions, and it serves me well. You may have other methods and it may be 
more profitable, if it aint broke do'nt fix it.

Have a good everning everyone
