Vladimir Ribakov Divergence Recognition + Zero Lag MACD MT4 Scalping Strategy
This scalping strategy combines the precision of the Vladimir Ribakov Divergence Recognition Indicator for MT4 with the speed and accuracy of the Zero Lag MACD Indicator for MT4.
Together, they offer traders a high-probability setup for quick trades in trending and ranging markets.
The idea behind this strategy is simple.
The Divergence Recognition indicator identifies early market reversals through bullish and bearish divergences.
The Zero Lag MACD confirms the trend direction without the usual delay of a standard MACD.
This makes it perfect for traders who prefer scalping on M5 or M15 charts.
Why This Strategy Works
Divergence signals often appear before a strong reversal, but not all are reliable.
By confirming each divergence setup with the Zero Lag MACD, traders filter out false entries and only trade when both tools align.
The fast responsiveness of the Zero Lag MACD ensures timely confirmation, keeping trades efficient and controlled.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait for a bullish divergence signal to appear on the Vladimir Ribakov Divergence Recognition Indicator.
- Confirm that the Zero Lag MACD histogram is above the zero line.
- Enter a buy trade once the candle closes, confirming both signals.
- Place the stop loss just below the recent swing low.
- Set the take profit at 1.5 to 2 times your stop loss distance.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait for a bearish divergence signal to appear on the Divergence Recognition indicator.
- Confirm that the Zero Lag MACD histogram is below the zero line.

Drawbacks
