Divergence is context, not entry
Treat a label as a reason to look closer, not a reason to click. On its own it has no stop, no target and no trend filter.
A pivot-based RSI divergence study that marks bullish and bearish divergence directly on the price chart. Published openly on TradingView — the source is readable, so you can see exactly how each label is produced.
The script compares pivots in price with pivots in RSI. When the two disagree — price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low, or the reverse — the disagreement is labelled on the chart at the pivot that completes it.
This is the part most divergence tools skip. A divergence label says momentum stopped confirming price. It does not say the move is over, and in a strong trend it will fire repeatedly while price keeps going.
Treat a label as a reason to look closer, not a reason to click. On its own it has no stop, no target and no trend filter.
A trending market can print three or four bearish divergences on the way up. Each one is momentum cooling, not a reversal.
A divergence into a prior support or resistance level is a different situation from a divergence in the middle of a range.
A 5m divergence inside a 1h uptrend is noise for a swing trader and a signal for a scalper. Decide which chart you are trading first.

The limitation above — divergence firing against a strong trend — is exactly what the EMA structure system is built to filter. It takes the same divergence logic and only treats it as structural when EMA context agrees.
Yes. The script is published open-source on TradingView — you can add it to your chart and read the source without asking for access.
Labels are attached to pivots, and a pivot is only confirmed once enough bars have formed on both sides of it. That means a label appears some bars after the extreme it refers to. It does not move afterwards, but you should not expect it at the exact moment of the high or low.
Any — the logic is timeframe-agnostic. What changes is what a divergence means. Pick the chart you actually trade, then read divergence in the context of the timeframe above it.
Divergence alone is a poor strategy trigger for the reasons above. If you have a complete rule set that uses divergence as one condition among several, that is a custom build.
