Overview

Volume Divergence+ plots the PVT on the price chart and identifies bullish and bearish divergences based on user-selected lookback periods for price and PVT pivots, divergence ranges, and tolerance percentages for price and PVT. Users can enable display of high and low pivots and choose to overlay the chart or plot divergences on the PVT instead. The script is designed for daily timeframes and provides visual signals for potential trend reversals without any exit rules or stop loss mechanisms.
