Quick Divergence Example / Manage a trade with Divergence information (GBPJPY)

150087   June 29, 2021 10:17   SwingFish   Traders Library you should know  

this is just a quick example (before/after) to spot Divergences and trade them.

the idea was to Sell xx/JPY (Buy Japanese Yen)

Step 1: look at the Divergence (large and small) chart to find out which one is the best to trade.

Step 2: find entry apply structural stops

Step 3: find exit when the difference narrows down or one reaches the ZERO Level

this does show when momentum is lost, or the difference between the currencies itself is level-out.

does not mean the move is over, but the initial momentum can be considered gone, a good place for a partial exit or complete exit on a nearby structure, if other like (USD/GPB lign up in the meanwhile this could be a sign of continuation, or a pullback to happen that would allow a scale in

the confirmation for USD to continue, scaling in the pullback instead of exiting position

things to note:

• Divergence data can be collected in multiple ways,
  however, comparing currency symbols (like mot indicators do it) is a very dirty way and get’s you polluted information.
• SwingFish uses data with permission from xscalp.com
• Structure matters!
  none of these things will work if you do not respect and use Structural information
  (the charts/trade what you see) to find stop/profit levels.

Trade Bitcoin the Right Way

Trade Bitcoin the Right Way

To say recent history has been an emotional roller-coaster for Bitcoin would be an understatement!

The market opened 2017 at a price of $966.0 and wrapped up the year at $18,960, carving out a whopping 1861.51% gain.

2018, however, has not been so kind. Deteriorating from its 2017 peak just south of the $20,000 mark to lows of $5858.6, the unit wiped approximately 70% off its value, as of current price.

ItÂ’s widely thought Satoshi Nakamoto was a pseudonym used by the unknown person(s) who designed Bitcoin. Despite the anonymity, the unit has since evolved into the most capitalized and traded cryptocurrency in the world. Current numbers demonstrate a market cap of over $143 billion. As of writing, 17,290,900 million bitcoins are in circulation, against a presently capped limit of 21 million.
