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.
