Case note: cleaning FTSE swing marks before RSI
Divergence Masterclass · spring cohort
Helen arrived with charts full of RSI lines drawn between every minor pullback on the FTSE 100. During the afternoon drill she was asked to keep only pivots that also mattered on the daily structure. By the end of the day her notebook held six kept divergences and a longer list of discarded ones — the opposite of how she had practised at home.
The mild reservation she voiced afterwards still stands as useful advice for newcomers: the method feels slow on the first live session. That slowness is deliberate; it is how weak oscillator readings leave the plan before the open.
