Peak Sync: When selected, the oscillator trend line may not use the same points in
time as the one placed on the bar. Instead, the study seeks the price peaks
(troughs) and uses them to place the trend line on the oscillator. These points can be
shifted either lift or right of the price peaks (troughs). The system makes these shifts
by looking at the slope of the oscillator at the time of the price peak (trough). If the
slope is upward for a peak or downward for a trough, it moves the oscillator point to
the right until just before the slope turns down (or up in case of a trough). If the
slope is downward for a peak or upward for a trough, it moves the oscillator point to
the left until just after the slope turns up (or down in case of a trough).
Peak Qualifier: When selected the 2nd price peak must be greater than the 1st
price peak for upside divergence, and the 2nd valley must be lower than the 1st
valley for downside divergences.
Current Always: When selected, divergence is measured at the current bar all the
time. The study will not wait for lower high (higher low) to confirm the divergence at
the current bar.
Normal: For peaks, normal is represented by trendlines moving away from each
other, and for troughs normal is represented by the trendlines converging.
Opposite: For peaks, opposite is represented by trendlines moving away towards
each other, and for troughs opposite is represented by the trendlines moving away
from each other.
Pivot: Used to mark the left points of the trendlines that are used to measure
divergence.
