Divergence Screener [Mr_Zed]
Jun 27, 2023

The Divergence Screener [Mr_Zed] indicator provides a comprehensive dashboard for scanning up to 40 different assets and timeframes simultaneously to detect bullish and bearish RSI divergences.
Usage
The Usage section focuses on monitoring broad market conditions across multiple symbols without manually switching charts. When a divergence is identified on any of the configured assets, the tool provides visual feedback or alerts.
- Multi-Asset Scanning: Input different tickers and timeframes to create a custom watchlist.
- Divergence Detection: The script specifically looks for regular bullish (lower low in price, higher low in RSI) and regular bearish (higher high in price, lower high in RSI) patterns.
- Real-time Alerts: Users can set alerts to be notified immediately when a potential or confirmed divergence occurs on any asset in the list.
Details
The script utilizes the request.security() function to fetch data for the user-defined assets. It identifies pivot points in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) using a specified lookback window. A divergence is confirmed when the price creates a new extreme (higher high or lower low) that is not reflected by the RSI oscillator within a specific bar range.
The logic distinguishes between "potential" and "confirmed" divergences; a confirmed divergence is only triggered once the bar has closed, ensuring the pivot point is finalized.
