Divergence Indicator Pro X is a professional divergence indicator for MetaTrader 4 that automatically detects divergences between price and oscillator right on the chart.
Full MT5-version functionality, adapted for MQL4. Works on any instrument and timeframe, no repaint.
🎯 What the indicator shows
1. Regular Divergence — classic reversal signal:
-
🟢 Bullish regular — price makes Lower Low, oscillator — Higher Low. Possible reversal up.
-
🔴 Bearish regular — price makes Higher High, oscillator — Lower High. Possible reversal down.
2. Hidden Divergence — trend continuation signal:
-
🟢 Bullish hidden — price makes Higher Low, oscillator — Lower Low. Uptrend continues.
-
🔴 Bearish hidden — price makes Lower High, oscillator — Higher High. Downtrend continues.
Lines connect price pivots, arrows mark the signal direction. Regular uses solid line, hidden uses dashed.
📊 Supported Oscillators

| RSI | Period (14 default) |
| MACD | Fast (12), Slow (26), Signal (9) |
| Stochastic | %K (5), %D (3), Slowing (3) |

⚠️ Important warning
Divergence Indicator Pro X is an analysis tool, not a trading system. The indicator shows divergences between price and oscillator, but does not generate ready-made entry signals. All trading decisions are made by the trader.
Using the indicator does not guarantee profit. Test on a demo account before live trading.
