CVD Divergence Detector

Reveal Hidden Orderflow Exhaustion & Continuation

The CVD Divergence Detector is a powerful, self-contained custom study designed to identify high-probability reversal and continuation setups using divergences between price and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD).

It automatically detects Regular Divergences (potential reversals) and Hidden Divergences (trend continuations) and displays them with clean connecting lines and clear labels. Built from the ground up for serious intraday futures traders, with special optimization for ES, NQ and GC (Gold).

No external studies required — full CVD calculation is built-in with daily session reset.

Best used on:

  • ES on 3000 Tick charts

  • NQ on 1500 Tick charts

  • GC on 250 Tick charts

  • 1-minute to 5-minute charts

Includes all future updates and an in depth video guide explaining how to install the .dll study files in your system and what each setting does.

Available for Windows, Intel Macs, and Apple Silicon Macs!

*Please note that you will need an advanced package on Sierra Chart to get full market depth with bid/ask data for the indicator to work. I recommend and use Advanced Package 11 with the included Denali data.
