ToolTack Divergence Radar

A non-repainting divergence indicator that detects regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences between price and an oscillator, with a confirmed-bar zigzag engine and a built-in status table.

Divergence Radar is a multi-asset TradingView indicator for forex, stocks, crypto, futures, indices, and commodities. It detects Regular Bullish, Regular Bearish, Hidden Bullish, and Hidden Bearish divergence between price and an oscillator. A zigzag pivot engine identifies valid swing points and draws clean divergence lines on both the price chart and oscillator pane. Each signal is labelled as “D” for regular divergence or “H” for hidden divergence, with detailed tooltips and a clear no-repaint status. The default oscillator is RSI(14), with support for CCI, CMO, COG, MFI, ROC, Stochastic, and Williams %R.

Overview

Divergence Radar is a non-repainting TradingView indicator that detects regular and hidden divergence between price and momentum oscillators. It identifies Regular Bullish, Regular Bearish, Hidden Bullish, and Hidden Bearish signals using confirmed zigzag swing points. The tool draws divergence lines on both the price chart and oscillator pane, with clear “D” and “H” labels. It supports RSI, CCI, CMO, COG, MFI, ROC, Stochastic, Williams %R, and external oscillator inputs. It works across all TradingView asset classes and timeframes, but should be used with structure, volume, confirmation, and risk management.

Who It's For

Divergence Radar is designed for active traders who want an automated, non-repainting divergence layer on top of their existing chart workflow. It suits reversal traders looking for momentum exhaustion at swing highs and lows, trend traders using hidden divergences to time pullback entries, scalpers who need a fast-confirming signal on a 1-bar right pivot, and swing or position traders monitoring multi-week and multi-month momentum shifts on the higher timeframes. It works equally well for discretionary chart traders and as a signal layer inside webhook-driven bot workflows that need clean, confirmed-bar inputs.

Why It's Useful

Manual divergence spotting is one of the most error-prone tasks in technical analysis — traders miss valid setups, force invalid ones, and routinely confuse regular and hidden patterns. Divergence Radar removes the guesswork by detecting all four divergence types automatically using a strict zigzag pivot rule, drawing them simultaneously on the oscillator and the price chart, and labelling each as “D” or “H” so the type is never ambiguous. The 13-bar-left, 1-bar-right pivot configuration gives the fastest possible confirmation that is still mathematically valid, which means signals appear within one bar of the swing while remaining fully non-repainting. The eight built-in oscillator choices, the live status table, the broken-divergence tracker, and the four confirmed-bar alerts together turn what used to be a slow, subjective scan into a single, glanceable, always-on monitor.

FAQ

What does this tool do?+

Divergence Radar automatically detects four types of price-oscillator divergence — Regular Bullish, Regular Bearish, Hidden Bullish, and Hidden Bearish — using a zigzag pivot engine. It draws connecting lines on both the oscillator pane and the price chart, labels each detection “D” (regular) or “H” (hidden) with a detailed tooltip, tracks whether each divergence has been broken by later price action, and exposes everything through a compact status table and four built-in alerts.

Which markets does this tool support?+

It is fully multi-asset. The divergence engine works on forex, stocks, ETFs, crypto, futures, indices, and commodities. Any chart that TradingView supports and on which an oscillator can be computed will produce valid signals.

Which timeframes can I use it on?+

All timeframes are supported, from 1-minute scalping charts up to weekly and monthly charts. Higher timeframes generally produce fewer but stronger divergence signals, while lower timeframes produce more frequent but noisier ones. Many traders use higher-timeframe divergences as bias and lower-timeframe divergences for timing.

Is this tool beginner-friendly?+

It is intermediate. The visual signal is beginner-simple — a green line and a “D” means bullish divergence, a red line and an “H” means bearish hidden divergence — but interpreting which divergences to act on, when to ignore them in strong trends, and how to combine them with structure or volume is a more advanced workflow. Beginners can safely start by treating regular divergences as “exit / take-profit” cues only.

What is the difference between regular and hidden divergences?+

Regular divergences are reversal signals. Regular Bullish = price lower low + oscillator higher low (potential bottom). Regular Bearish = price higher high + oscillator lower high (potential top). Hidden divergences are continuation signals. Hidden Bullish = price higher low + oscillator lower low (uptrend pullback ending). Hidden Bearish = price lower high + oscillator higher high (downtrend bounce ending). The indicator labels regular divergences with “D” and hidden divergences with “H” so the type is always visually clear.

Are the signals repainting?+

No. Divergence Radar uses a zigzag with a 1-bar right confirmation, which means a pivot is mathematically locked the moment the next bar closes. Once a divergence is drawn it does not move, change colour, or disappear. The status table explicitly reports a Repaint status of NO, and the four alerts use confirmed-bar logic so they only fire after the bar closes.

Which oscillator should I use?+

The default is RSI(14), which is the most widely used and best-documented divergence oscillator in technical analysis. The tool also supports CCI, Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), Center of Gravity (COG), Money Flow Index (MFI), Rate of Change (ROC), Stochastic, and Williams %R. RSI and MFI tend to produce the cleanest divergences on most assets; Stochastic gives more frequent signals at the cost of more noise; MFI is especially useful on volume-rich instruments like stocks and crypto.

What do the “D” and “H” labels mean?+

“D” marks a regular divergence (classic reversal signal). “H” marks a hidden divergence (trend-continuation signal). Green labels indicate bullish signals; red labels indicate bearish signals. Each label carries a detailed tooltip with the divergence name, the price values at both swings, the price ratio, the oscillator values at both swings, and the oscillator ratio — useful for assessing the strength of the signal.

What does “broken divergence” mean?+

Once a divergence is drawn, Divergence Radar continuously checks whether price has invalidated it. A bullish divergence is flagged as broken when price closes below the second swing low; a bearish divergence is broken when price closes above the second swing high. This internal state powers the “last active divergence” reading exposed in the data window, so you always know whether the most recent signal is still valid.

Which other tools should I combine with it?+

Pair Divergence Radar with a trend tool (such as a moving-average system or an ATR-based trend indicator), support and resistance or supply and demand zones, volume tools, market-structure indicators, and a risk calculator. A common workflow is: higher-timeframe trend → support/resistance level → divergence at the level → candlestick or structure confirmation → entry.

Does this tool guarantee profits?+

No. No indicator or tool can guarantee profits. Divergence Radar is a decision-support indicator that automates the detection of divergence patterns; outcomes depend on the trader’s strategy, risk management, market conditions, and discipline.

Can I use this tool as a standalone trading system?+

No. Divergence Radar is a divergence detection tool, not a full trading system. Divergences can persist for many bars before price responds, and in very strong trends they can fail entirely. It should always be combined with proper risk management, market structure analysis, and confirmation from other tools such as volume, support and resistance, or a trend filter.
