    How does it work?

    This MACD divergence indicator recognizes divergence setups and will display on your chart and MACD indicator, this is far more powerful than a standard MACD indicator that most traders use. A divergence pattern will be displayed between two MACD trend lines and this will almost always happen after a sharp price move. To identify if the price has moved quickly or slowly requires looking at the velocity and magnitude of the actual price moves around it using price action.
