RSI & MACD Divergence Scanner
The scanner checks 13 forex pairs, the 30 largest cryptocurrencies and 10 stock indices on H1, H4 and D1 every minute. It lists live regular and hidden RSI(14) and MACD(12/26/9) divergences computed from closed candles only.
The scanner currently shows 14 active signals: 7 bullish and 7 bearish.
What is divergence in trading
Divergence is a disagreement between price and an oscillator. Price prints a new low while RSI or MACD refuses to confirm it: momentum fades before the candles make that obvious. The pattern is not a promise of reversal, but it can improve an entry filter and reveal a shift between buyers and sellers. Divergences are measured between pivots, or swing points. A price pivot is a local extreme with several bars on each side that remain inside its level. The scanner uses a five-bar window on both sides, matches the two latest price pivots with nearby indicator pivots, and compares their direction. A lower low in price combined with a higher low in the indicator is a bullish divergence.
The four signal types
Bullish divergence
Price makes a lower low while the indicator makes a higher low. Sellers are running out of steam and an upward reversal becomes possible. The setup gains context when RSI was below 30 at the first pivot, but it still needs confirmation from price.
Bearish divergence
Price makes a higher high while the indicator makes a lower high. Buyers are weakening and a downward reversal becomes possible. The mirror setup is more meaningful with RSI above 70 at the first pivot and a bearish confirmation candle.
Hidden bullish divergence
Price makes a higher low while the indicator makes a lower low. This is a continuation signal in an uptrend rather than an attempt to catch a bottom: the oscillator has reloaded more deeply than price.
Hidden bearish divergence
Price makes a lower high while the indicator makes a higher high. This pattern supports downtrend continuation after a pullback. Hidden divergences trade with trend, so the surrounding market structure still matters.
How to evaluate a signal in context
Start with market structure rather than the strength number. A bullish divergence at major daily support and the same pattern in the middle of a random range are not equivalent. Check the higher-timeframe direction, distance to the next level, current volatility and the timing of important economic releases. Open the signal card and verify that both price pivots and their matching indicator points are genuinely visible. Compare the stop beyond the second pivot with the nearest realistic target; an attractive pattern cannot repair poor reward to risk. Do not treat several correlated instruments as independent trades: EURUSD, GBPUSD and gold positions can all express the same dollar exposure. If confirmation never arrives or price has already moved far from the second pivot, skip the setup. The scanner saves time finding candidates, while entry, position size and risk management remain the trader’s responsibility.
RSI or MACD
RSI(14) reacts quickly and produces more signals, but it can stay overbought or oversold during a powerful trend. Its absolute scale remains useful: a first pivot below 30 or above 70 adds context. MACD(12/26/9) smooths noise; the scanner compares histogram pivots because the histogram can expose fading momentum before the main line does. MACD signals are less frequent and sometimes later, but they reject more random movement. RSI + MACD merges both indicators when they share a price pivot and awards a strength bonus. The periods match common trading-platform defaults, so a scanner result can be reproduced on a TLAP chart or another terminal.
RSI divergence trading strategy
A divergence is a reason to pay attention, not an instruction to enter immediately. Wait for price confirmation: a local trendline break, a candle closing against the preceding move, a reversal pattern, or RSI leaving the 30/70 zone. For a bullish setup place invalidation below the second low; for a bearish setup, above the second high. A close beyond that level breaks the scenario. The first target can be the opposite pivot or a clear support or resistance zone. Skip a setup when that target is closer than two stop distances. H1 benefits from H4 confirmation, while H4 and D1 fit multi-day positions. Do not chase a signal after five closed bars because the market may already have priced it in.
How to read the scanner
The upper panel shows the three strongest active H4 and D1 signals across all markets, ordered by strength. The table below covers the chosen market and timeframe and shows symbol, type, indicator, age, strength, live price and a pivot thumbnail. Every column can be sorted. Selecting a row opens a signal card with the chart, an explanation, invalidation levels and a link to the full chart. Strength from 0 to 100 combines timeframe, divergence magnitude, dual-indicator confirmation, RSI zone and freshness. It is a priority score, not a win probability. Age is the number of closed bars after the second pivot; beyond five bars the row is muted and marked with a warning.
Divergences on Telegram
There are two delivery options. The @tlap_divergence channel posts every new H4 and D1 divergence across all markets, including a chart, pivot levels and a link to the signal card; its daily cap keeps the feed readable. The @tlap_club_bot bot delivers personal alerts only for the markets, timeframes and symbols you select, with H1 available. You can keep Forex H4 only, BTC and ETH on D1, or filter by RSI, MACD, direction, strength, age, quiet hours and delivery mode. The button inside a scanner card passes the current market, timeframe and symbol to the bot, avoiding another search through the settings menu.

Frequently asked questions
Does RSI divergence always work?
No. It describes fading momentum rather than guaranteeing a reversal. Confirm regular divergence with price action, a meaningful level or a candle pattern, and define the stop and acceptable risk before every trade.
Which candles are used?
Closed candles only. A candle that is still forming never confirms a signal, so a divergence should not appear and disappear in the middle of the current bar.
How often is the data refreshed?
Prices and the result set refresh every minute. New signals can appear after the relevant candle closes: hourly on H1, every four hours on H4 and once a day on D1.
What is the best timeframe for divergence?
Intraday traders often use H1 with confirmation on H4. H4 and D1 are better suited to multi-day positions: they produce fewer signals but also contain less short-term noise.
Hidden vs regular divergence — what is the difference?
Regular divergence warns of a possible reversal because price makes a new extreme and the indicator does not. Hidden divergence points to continuation because price makes a shallower pullback while the indicator pulls back more deeply.
What does signal strength mean?
It is a priority score from 0 to 100, not a win probability. It combines timeframe, divergence magnitude, second-indicator confirmation, RSI zone and freshness. A score of 70 or higher is considered strong.
Why is an old signal dimmed?
After five closed bars the market may already have reacted. The row remains available for a limited analysis window, but receives a warning and requires more caution before it can support a new entry.
Can I enter as soon as a signal appears?
No. Wait for a confirming candle to close, put invalidation beyond the second pivot and make sure the nearest reasonable target is at least two stop distances away.
Which markets are covered?
The scanner covers 13 forex pairs, the 30 largest available cryptocurrencies and 10 stock indices: US30, SPX500, NAS100, US2000, GER40, UK100, FRA40, EU50, JPN225 and HK50.
Can I change the RSI and MACD periods?
Not yet. The scanner uses standard RSI(14) and MACD(12/26/9), making each result reproducible on an ordinary chart. Custom periods remain a separate future stage.
