The RSI Divergence Fast indicator identifies potential trend reversals by detecting RSI divergences across multiple lookback periods simultaneously. Unlike standard divergence tools that may lag, this script is designed for rapid detection, highlighting divergences as soon as price and RSI begin to deviate after a peak or trough.

Usage

The RSI Divergence Fast tool is used to identify exhaustion in the current trend. A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low but the RSI makes a higher low, while a bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high but the RSI makes a lower high.

  • Entry Points: For a bottom divergence, traders often look to open a long position at the start of the bar following the signal.
  • Risk Management: A common stop-loss strategy involves placing the exit price below the most recent low where the divergence occurred.
  • Trend Context: It is recommended to use these signals in the direction of the overall trend or when a price has made a significant new high/low and retraced. Divergences occurring within a strong trend may only lead to temporary pullbacks.

Details

This script enhances standard divergence detection by looking at three different pivot lengths (5, 10, and 20) at the same time. This multi-length approach allows the indicator to capture short-term and medium-term deviations that might be missed by a single fixed-length setting. Additionally, the tool includes a "Delete Error" function that can remove signals if price action immediately invalidates the divergence logic after the detection bar.

Settings

  • Delete Error Divergence: When enabled, the script will automatically remove divergence labels and lines if the price/RSI movement immediately contradicts the signal on subsequent bars.
  • RSI Length: Adjusts the period used to calculate the Relative Strength Index (default is 14).

FAQ

How do I access RSI Divergence Fast?

You can get access on the LuxAlgo Library for charting platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), and NinjaTrader for free.

What does "K not end" mean on the label?

This indicates that the current candle has not yet closed. Because the script uses fast detection, it is recommended to wait for the candle to close to confirm the signal.

Why are there different lines for the same divergence?

The indicator monitors lengths of 5, 10, and 20 simultaneously. Multiple lines may appear if a divergence is valid across multiple lookback periods.
