    tampa's "short skirt" trades...

    Do you tell people you're a trader?

    are divergences really worth anything?

    For me, divergence is only one of three warning signs that a trend may pause along with other two: price climax and volume spike. I usually spot divergence from price charts, not from indicators. A divergence occures when the last 2 consecutive pivots travels shorter distance or with much...
