Convergence is when the higher highs and higher lows of an uptrend are also confirmed by our indicator making lower lows which helps us confirm that momentum is increasing and so the trend is likely to continue. Vice versa for a downtrend.

Divergence is when we get higher highs on an uptrend but which are not supported by our indicator which makes lower highs and therefore signals the underlying momentum is failing and so a reversal might occur. Vice versa for downtrend.

I have combined these methods of trading with a Double Smoothed Stochastic. This is similar to Stochastic except for this Indicator we use what is called double exponentially smoothing.

This will give the trader a more speedy response to price changes which tends to smooth out the erratic movements of a regular Stochastic. When combined with spotting Divergence and Convergence signals we get our DSS Divergence Convergence Indicator.
