Trading Questions

Should I trade purely based on divergence signals?

No. Divergence is a tool—not a full trading system. Combine it with fundamentals, market context, and risk management.

What divergence threshold should I use?

• Conservative traders: 40+ point divergences

• Aggressive traders: 25+ point divergences Different thresholds can be tested using the platform’s backtesting tools.

How quickly should I act on a signal?

Most high-conviction divergences persist for hours or longer. While prompt action helps, thoughtful analysis is more important than speed.

What happens if sentiment and price both change rapidly?

If both move together, divergence may close quickly and not trigger a strong opportunity. Polykoe flags these events as fast-consensus shifts, where markets rapidly adjust to new information.

Can I use Polykoe for automated trading?

Not yet. Automated/systematic trading support via the API is planned for Q4 2025. Currently, Polykoe is for informational and discretionary trading.
