Thank you,

No repainting

But as it was told many times : divergence can be caught only after the fact (lags)

Hi Mladen, many thanks for the quick reply :)

I have set it up to send email alert to me for testing purposes.

Joe Dinapoli said about divergence:

"Don't use an Oscillator to price divergence as an entry technique, unless you have an excellent means of filtering it. Even for the best of Oscillators this can, and often does, spell disaster, particularly for the new participant. Price and Oscillator divergences abound, and the market continues to stop out the divergence players. Looking back in time, you're sure to find divergences that work, but when you're going forward in time, as in real trading, the accuracy of this technique just isn't there."

As with most of my posts I really don't have a clue what i'm talking about or who Joe Dinapoli is but his quote sounds good.

Exactly. IMO divergence is no holy grail at all. PA trumps whatever any oscillator is doing.

There's plenty of occurrences where divergences fail. However I'll place pending orders in case it PA does follow thru, but rarely take a fill based on visual divergence alone.

Just playing a bit around and hey, a possible convergence on a renko chart forward. Now wait for confirmation and peng or when the confirmation won't come the market will start through as you can see on the divergence on the right side. Happy Trading.

Ok, this Renko indi has obviously a repainting problem on cTrader (when reopened the chart) and the market just stopped, but I hope you see, that the SL can be set very tight and when it is hit you just open a position in opposite direction, because it breaks through with an impulse. So you have a small lose and a big win on the other side.

AIO Divergence [= All In One Divergence]

This indicator is based on code from the original author Petr

Trading alerts (Alerts in MetaTrader 4 terminal, Email notifications, Push notifications).
Inputs to enable/disable each alert type separately.
Dropdown list of 30 indicators with real names instead of numbers.

The indicator to trade Divergence.
One of 30 oscillators can be selected for the detection of the divergences.

Indicator values :

Extremes as points (red — Highs, yellow — Lows);
Divergence using the segments connecting the extremes;
The support/resistance lines as rays passing through the extremes;
Channels as rays.

Selection of the required oscillator is performed in the line by entering the oscillator number — the Osc parameter. By default, the RSI indicator is set (number 29).

Oscillator selection :

1. Accelerator
2. Accumulation/Distribution
3. Average Directional Movement Index
4. Average True Range
5. Awesome oscillator
6. Bears Power
7. Bulls Power
8. Commodity Channel Index
9. DeMarker
10. Force Index
11. Momentum
12. Money Flow Index
13. Moving Averages Convergence/Divergence
14. Moving Average of Oscillator
15. On Balance Volume
16. Relative Vigor Index
17. Standard Deviation
18. Stochastic Oscillator
19. Volume
20. Close
21. Open
22. High
