Price action vs. indicator divergence
Green candles suggest buyers are in control, but the indicator panel shows the leading side rolling over and slipping below the middle level, indicating a loss of momentum.
[00:16]
Crossover signals a sell
When the leading side crosses below the middle and the other side pushes up, the rule is to sell, even if price is still climbing.
[00:29]
Entering against green candles
The presenter enters a sell trade against green candles because the crossover disagrees with the price action. He waits for the candle to close and confirms the cross before taking the trade.
[00:42]
Handling market tests
Price initially pushes higher after entry, but the indicator panel remains unchanged (crossover still pointing down), so the rule is to hold and not touch the trade.
[00:56]
Trade outcome
A large red candle wipes out the pullback, price collapses well below entry, and the sell closes in profit.
The key takeaway is to trust the indicator's crossover signal over short-term price action, as it can predict reversals more reliably. Patience and discipline in following the rule are crucial for successful trades.

00:42Full Transcript
[00:02] then it started climbing back up. Several green candles in a row. If you convinced buyers had taken over and you'd be looking for a buy right here. But drop your eyes to the panel. The side that was leading has rolled over
[00:16] and slipped below the middle level sliding down toward the 30 zone while the other side pushes up. That's not a recovery. That's a pullback losing its energy. So the rule says sell. And notice what
[00:29] I'm doing. I'm entering against green candles because the crossover disagrees with them. I let the candle close, confirm the cross, and take the sell on the next one. And right away, the market tests me. Price doesn't fall
[00:42] immediately. It pushes a little higher first, small candles poking above my entry level. And this is the second time in this video you're watching the same you instantly. But the panel hasn't changed. The
[00:56] crossover is still pointing down. My rule is intact, so I don't touch anything. And then it happens. One large red candle straight down wiping out that entire pullback in a single move. Price collapses well below where I entered and
[01:10] the trade is deep in my favor. And there it is. The sell closes on the winning it is. The sell closes on the winning side.
