You get to set the start time and end time and the indicator will track the highest high and lowest low throughout that time span. Each new high or new low will trigger an audible and visual alert on your chart. The time span adjustment lets you view a chart including extended hours trade while only tracking the high and low during the regular market hours.
We are also including a custom scan along with the upgraded version. Customers who already purchased version two are receiving the upgraded version plus the scan code at no extra charge! We’ve only added two adjustable parameters yet they have a very large impact on how divergence is calculated.
In this video we briefly explain Divergence and give some examples, just to make sure we don’t leave anyone behind. After the examples we then go straight into the indicator settings, showing how to adjust the various settings. We then review a few charts so you can see how the alerts are triggered….. yes, we have included alerts.
Free chart based study included with video. Just watch the video to learn how to build your own study alerts and by the time you’re ready to get started we’ll present an embedded link within the video.
AutoTrades are not fully supported on Thinkorswim as on other platforms. However if you learn how to connect the pieces you can place conditional orders that await the signal created by a set of defined rules. Once the conditions are satisfied, the order is release from hold and becomes a live order.
