Depending on how you enter divergences, they can get you in at the very tip of the swing hi/low of a reversal. These are the only ones I trade because I enter very aggressively, and want to be out...

With a 1:1 reward/risk, I guess that would be the case. But I would still consider it very viable if that system can support 2:1 reward/risk. I personally will not trade any system with less then...
