Awesome CCI Hidden Divergence Forex Strategy

    The Awesome CCI Divergence Forex strategy uses hidden divergences and price action as a means to generate buy/sell market signals.

    Trading divergence is a great price action technique that isn’t lagging behind real-time prices.

    It is primarily used to trade market reversals with low risk stop loss.

    Exploiting this market reversal pattern will help currency traders to stay profitable in the long-term.

    We will be using this divergence pattern together with the Super Trend forex indicator for better performance.

    2. If the lime line of the super-trend custom indicator staysaligned slightly below the candlesticks as depicted on Fig. 1.0, the general market sentiment is said to be bullish, as such a buy alert will suffice.
