Using RSI Divergence in MT5! Three effective strategies

RSIダイバージェンス

What is RSI divergence?

Basic explanation of RSI divergence

RSI divergence is one of the technical analysis methods used to forecast the future of the market.RSI stands for "Relative Strength Index" and is also called the relative strength index. It is an indicator used to identify overbought or oversold conditions and is usually expressed as a number between 0 and 100.

Divergence refers to a condition in which price and the indicator are moving in opposite directions. Specifically, it refers to the case where prices make new highs but the RSI does not follow and does not make new highs, or conversely, where prices make new lows but the RSI does not make new lows. This phenomenon is considered a signal that foreshadows a market trend reversal.

Advantages and Disadvantages of RSI Divergence

The main advantage of the RSI divergence is the possibility of finding market trend turning points. This makes it possible to ascertain when to buy or sell.

On the other hand, one disadvantage of RSI divergence is the possibility of false signals. The market is constantly fluctuating, and the formation of RSI divergence does not necessarily mean that a trend reversal will occur. Therefore, when using RSI divergence, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical analysis indicators and fundamental analysis.

How to set up RSI divergence in MT5

RSI divergence setting method (standard function)

Using MT5's standard functions, RSI can be displayed on a chart, but there is no function to automatically determine divergence or mark it on the chart.

By visually checking the waveform of the RSI and the waveform of the rate on the chart, it is necessary to identify the point where divergence appears to be occurring.

This can be a very labor-intensive process, and we do not recommend using the standard functionality.

How to set RSI divergence (custom indicator)

We have developed a custom indicator that allows you to immediately see the RSI divergence.

As shown in the video image below, simply drag and drop the indicator on the chart and you will be able to immediately identify the location of divergence occurrence.

Three strategies for using RSI divergence

Strategy 1: Identify trend turning points

It may help identify trend turning points in the market. If prices are making new highs or lows but the RSI is not following suit, this may be considered a sign of a trend reversal. Finding this divergence can help identify when to buy or sell.

Strategy 2: Identify "overbought" and "oversold" conditions

The RSI is also an indicator of whether the market is "overbought" or "oversold. Normally, a market is considered "overbought" when the RSI is above 70 and "oversold" when the RSI is below 30. Therefore, by using this indicator in conjunction with the occurrence of divergence, in addition to the RSI itself exceeding the reference line, it is possible to capture market reversals in the short term with a higher degree of accuracy.

Strategy 3: Plan an exit strategy

RSI divergence can also be used to plan when to get out of a trade. For example, if a long-term uptrend continues and the RSI shows a high level, and divergence occurs during the uptrend, this can be interpreted as a sell signal. Conversely, if a downtrend continues and the RSI shows a low level and divergence occurs during the downtrend, this can be a buy signal. Thus, RSI divergence can be used to strategically plan an exit from a trade.

summary

RSI divergence is a powerful trading tool, but correct knowledge and understanding is necessary to avoid misunderstanding and misuse. It is important to understand that RSI divergence does not necessarily mean a trend reversal, that RSI value alone does not determine market conditions, and that it should be used in combination with other technical indicators and market conditions. In addition, confirming divergence with different time legs can provide more reliable trading signals.
