This Stochastic Divergence Indicator for MetaTrader 4 detects potential market reversals by combining the Stochastic Oscillator with divergence analysis. It automatically highlights when price action and momentum disagree, helping traders identify early trend exhaustion signals.
How the Stochastic Divergence Indicator Works
The indicator compares price highs and lows with the Stochastic Oscillator behavior to detect divergence patterns:
- Regular divergence: Price makes higher highs/lower lows while Stochastic moves opposite → signals possible reversal.
- Hidden divergence: Price makes lower high/higher low while Stochastic moves opposite → signals trend continuation.
These signals help traders anticipate momentum shifts before they become obvious on price charts.
