Overview

RSI Divergence+ detects divergences between price highs and lows versus RSI pivots using lookback periods and tolerance settings. The main inputs adjust RSI length, source, divergence range, and pivot display. When overlay mode is false the indicator draws divergence lines and bands on a separate RSI pane instead. It repaints on the live bar and lacks built-in entry or exit rules.
