Dave...wouldn't this be the market condition to watch for divergences?

clint elliott said...

and how would you look for divergences now that profit charts is gone

Dave Johnson said...

Don, yes, there is a potential MACD histogram divergence on SPY, DIA, IWM, QQQ and several individual stocks right now. Good awareness, keep it up...Dave

Dave Johnson said...

Clint, if your using TOS charts just add the MACD histogram study with 8/17/9 day settings, it should show you the same setups as Prophet charts...Dave
