I have done some preliminary work on developing a standardized indicator to identify and quantify divergences between price and other indicators. Rather than program multiple divergence indicators, I hope to develop a single divergence function that could identify divergences between price and any other indicator. This is still a work in progress. If successful, the divergence indicator will be the topic of a future article on Trader Edge.
I am in the process of finishing the first draft of my first book on option income strategies, so there will not be a new market-related or research post this week. I plan to resume weekly posts next Thursday.

About Brian Johnson
I have been an investment professional for over 30 years. I worked as a fixed income portfolio manager, personally managing over $13 billion in assets for institutional clients. I was also the President of a financial consulting and software development firm, developing artificial intelligence based forecasting and risk management systems for institutional investment managers.
I am now a full-time proprietary trader in options, futures, stocks, and ETFs using both algorithmic and discretionary trading strategies.
In addition to my professional investment experience, I designed and taught courses in financial derivatives for both MBA and undergraduate business programs on a part-time basis for a number of years. I have also written four books on options and derivative strategies.
