Impulse Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Impulse Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify significant price movements accompanied by strong volume, highlighting potential areas of support and resistance. These Impulse Zones can offer valuable insights into market momentum and potential reversal or continuation points. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Impulse Zones Features :
Dynamic Zone Creation : Automatically identifies and plots potential supply and demand zones based on significant price impulses and volume spikes.
Customizable Settings : Allows you to adjust the sensitivity of zone detection based on your trading style and market conditions.
Retests and Breakouts : Clearly marks instances where price retests or breaks through established Impulse Zones, providing potential entry or exit signals.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish Impulse Zone detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
Our Impulse Zones indicator stands out by combining both price action (impulsive moves) and volume confirmation to define significant zones. Unlike simple support and resistance indicators, it emphasizes the strength behind price movements, potentially filtering out less significant levels. The inclusion of retest and breakout visuals directly on the chart provides immediate context for potential trading opportunities. The user can also set up alerts for freshly detected Impulse Zones & the retests of them.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The indicator identifies bars where the price range (high - low) is significantly larger than the average true range (ATR), indicating a strong price movement. The Size Sensitivity input allows you to control how large this impulse needs to be relative to the ATR.
Simultaneously, it checks if the volume on the impulse bar is significantly higher than the average volume. The Volume Sensitivity input governs this threshold.
When both the price impulse and volume confirmation criteria are met, an Impulse Zone is created in the corresponding direction. The high and low of the impulse bar define the initial boundaries of the zone. Zones are extended forward in time to remain relevant. The indicator manages the number of active zones to maintain chart clarity and can remove zones that haven't been touched for a specified period. The indicator monitors price action within and around established zones.
A retest is identified when the price touches a zone and then moves away. A break occurs when the price closes beyond the invalidation point of a zone. Keep in mind that if "Show Historic Zones" setting is disabled, you will not see break labels as their zones will be removed from the chart.
The detection of Impulse Zones are immediate signs of significant buying or selling pressure entering the market. These zones represent areas where a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers has led to a rapid price movement accompanied by high volume. Bullish Impulse Zones act as a possible future support zone, and Bearish Impulse Zones act as a possible future resistance zone. Retests of the zones suggest a strong potential movement in the corresponding direction.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired Impulse Zones will remain visible on the chart.

Machine Learning RSI ║ BullVisionOverview:
Introducing the Machine Learning RSI with KNN Adaptation – a cutting-edge momentum indicator that blends the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) with machine learning principles. By leveraging K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), this indicator aims at identifying historical patterns that resemble current market behavior and uses this context to refine RSI readings with enhanced sensitivity and responsiveness.
Unlike traditional RSI models, which treat every market environment the same, this version adapts in real-time based on how similar past conditions evolved, offering an analytical edge without relying on predictive assumptions.
Key Features:
🔁 KNN-Based RSI Refinement
This indicator uses a machine learning algorithm (K-Nearest Neighbors) to compare current RSI and price action characteristics to similar historical conditions. The resulting RSI is weighted accordingly, producing a dynamically adjusted value that reflects historical context.
📈 Multi-Feature Similarity Analysis
Pattern similarity is calculated using up to five customizable features:
RSI level
RSI momentum
Volatility
Linear regression slope
Price momentum
Users can adjust how many features are used to tailor the behavior of the KNN logic.
🧠 Machine Learning Weight Control
The influence of the machine learning model on the final RSI output can be fine-tuned using a simple slider. This lets you blend traditional RSI and machine learning-enhanced RSI to suit your preferred level of adaptation.
🎛️ Adaptive Filtering
Additional smoothing options (Kalman Filter, ALMA, Double EMA) can be applied to the RSI, offering better visual clarity and helping to reduce noise in high-frequency environments.
🎨 Visual & Accessibility Settings
Custom color palettes, including support for color vision deficiencies, ensure that trend coloring remains readable for all users. A built-in neon mode adds high-contrast visuals to improve RSI visibility across dark or light themes.
How It Works:
Similarity Matching with KNN:
At each candle, the current RSI and optional market characteristics are compared to historical bars using a KNN search. The algorithm selects the closest matches and averages their RSI values, weighted by similarity. The more similar the pattern, the greater its influence.
Feature-Based Weighting:
Similarity is determined using normalized values of the selected features, which gives a more refined result than RSI alone. You can choose to use only 1 (RSI) or up to all 5 features for deeper analysis.
Filtering & Blending:
After the machine learning-enhanced RSI is calculated, it can be optionally smoothed using advanced filters to suppress short-term noise or sharp spikes. This makes it easier to evaluate RSI signals in different volatility regimes.
Parameters Explained:
📊 RSI Settings:
Set the base RSI length and select your preferred smoothing method from 10+ moving average types (e.g., EMA, ALMA, TEMA).
🧠 Machine Learning Controls:
Enable or disable the KNN engine
Select how many nearest neighbors to compare (K)
Choose the number of features used in similarity detection
Control how much the machine learning engine affects the RSI calculation
🔍 Filtering Options:
Enable one of several advanced smoothing techniques (Kalman Filter, ALMA, Double EMA) to adjust the indicator’s reactivity and stability.
📏 Threshold Levels:
Define static overbought/oversold boundaries or reference dynamically adjusted thresholds based on historical context identified by the KNN algorithm.
🎨 Visual Enhancements:
Select between trend-following or impulse coloring styles. Customize color palettes to accommodate different types of color blindness. Enable neon-style effects for visual clarity.
Use Cases:
Swing & Trend Traders
Can use the indicator to explore how current RSI readings compare to similar market phases, helping to assess trend strength or potential turning points.
Intraday Traders
Benefit from adjustable filters and fast-reacting smoothing to reduce noise in shorter timeframes while retaining contextual relevance.
Discretionary Analysts
Use the adaptive OB/OS thresholds and visual cues to supplement broader confluence zones or market structure analysis.
Customization Tips:
Higher Volatility Periods: Use more neighbors and enable filtering to reduce noise.
Lower Volatility Markets: Use fewer features and disable filtering for quicker RSI adaptation.
Deeper Contextual Analysis: Increase KNN lookback and raise the feature count to refine pattern recognition.
Accessibility Needs: Switch to Deuteranopia or Monochrome mode for clearer visuals in specific color vision conditions.
Final Thoughts:
The Machine Learning RSI combines familiar momentum logic with statistical context derived from historical similarity analysis. It does not attempt to predict price action but rather contextualizes RSI behavior with added nuance. This makes it a valuable tool for those looking to elevate traditional RSI workflows with adaptive, research-driven enhancements.
[GrandAlgo] Impulse & Balance
The Impulse & Balance indicator identifies and labels three key levels—Impulse, Balance, and Apex—offering traders a structured and dynamic view of market behavior. Starting with the detection of Impulse levels, the indicator calculates corresponding Balance zones and Apex levels to provide actionable insights into price movement, potential reversals, and trend stability.
This indicator adapts seamlessly to all timeframes and market types, giving traders a powerful tool for understanding market dynamics and refining their strategies.
How It Works:

AI x Meme Impulse Tracker [QuantraSystems]AI x Meme Impulse Tracker
Quantra Systems guarantees that the information created and published within this document and on the Tradingview platform is fully compliant with applicable regulations, does not constitute investment advice, and is not exclusively intended for qualified investors.
Important Note!
The system equity curve presented here has been generated as part of the process of testing and verifying the methodology behind this script.
Crucially, it was developed after the system was conceptualized, designed, and created, which helps to mitigate the risk of overfitting to historical data. In other words, the system was built for robustness, not for simply optimizing past performance.
This ensures that the system is less likely to degrade in performance over time, compared to hyper-optimized systems that are tailored to past data. No tweaks or optimizations were made to this system post-backtest.
Even More Important Note!!
The nature of markets is that they change quickly and unpredictably. Past performance does not guarantee future results - this is a fundamental rule in trading and investing.
While this system is designed with broad, flexible conditions to adapt quickly to a range of market environments, it is essential to understand that no assumptions should be made about future returns based on historical data. Markets are inherently uncertain, and this system - like all trading systems - cannot predict future outcomes.
Introduction
The AI x Meme Impulse Tracker is a cutting-edge, fast-acting rotational algorithm designed to capitalize on the strength of assets within pre-selected categories. Using a custom function built on top of the RSI Pulsar, the system measures momentum through impulses rather than traditional trend following methods. This allows for swifter reallocations based on short bursts of strength.
This system focuses on precision and agility - making it highly adaptable in volatile markets. The strategy is built around three independent asset categories - with allocations only made to the strongest asset in each - ensuring that capital movement (in particular between blockchains) is kept to a minimum for efficiency purposes while maintaining exposure to the highest performing tokens.
Legend
Token Inputs:
The Impulse Tracker is designed with dynamic asset selection - allowing traders to customize the inputs for each category. This feature enables flexible system management, as the number of active tokens within each category can be adjusted at any time. Whether the user chooses the default of 13 tokens per category, or fewer, the system will automatically recalibrate. This ensures that all calculations, from relative strength to individual performance assessments, adjust as required. Disabled tokens are treated by the system as if they don’t exist - seamlessly updating performance metrics and the Impulse Tracker’s allocation behavior to maintain the highest level of efficiency and accuracy.
System Equity Curve:
The Impulse Tracker plots both the rotational system’s equity and the Buy-and-Hold (or ‘HODL’) benchmark of Bitcoin for comparison. While the HODL approach allocates the entire portfolio to Bitcoin and functions as an index to compare to, the Impulse Tracker dynamically allocates based on strength impulses within the chosen tokens and categories. The system equity curve is representative of adding an equal capital split between the strongest assets of each category. The relative strength system does handle ‘ties’ of strength - in this situation multiple tokens from a single category can be included in the final equity curve, with the allocated weight to that category split between the tied assets.
TABLES:
Equity Stats:
This table is held in Quantra System's typical UI design language. It offers a comprehensive snapshot of the system’s performance, with key metrics organized to help traders quickly assess both short-term and cumulative results. The left side provides details on individual asset performance, while the right side presents a comparison of the system’s risk-adjusted metrics against a simple BTC Hodl strategy.
The leftmost column of the Equity Stats table showcases performance indicators for the system’s current allocations. This provides quick identification of the current strongest tokens, based on confirmed and non-repainting data as soon as the current opens and the last bar closes.
The right-hand side compares the performance differences between the system and Hodl profits, both on a cumulative basis and analyzing only the previous bar. The total number of position changes is also tracked in this table - an important metric when calculating total slippage and should be used to determine how ‘hands-on’ the strategy will be on the current timeframe.
The lower part of the table highlights a direct comparison of the AI x Memes Impulse strategy with buy-and-hold Bitcoin. The risk adjusted performance ratios, Sharpe, Sortino and Omega, are shown side by side, as well as the maximum drawdown experienced by both strategies within the set testing window.
Screener Table:
This table provides a detailed breakdown of the performance for each asset that has been the strongest in its category at some point and thus received an allocation. The table tracks several key metrics for each asset - including returns, volatility, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Omega ratio, and maximum drawdown. It also displays the signals for both current and previous periods, as well as the assets weight in the theoretical portfolio. Assets that have never received a signal are also included, giving traders an overview of which assets have contributed to the portfolio's performance and which have not played a role so far.
The position changes cell also offers important insights, as it shows the frequency of not just total position changes, but also rebalancing events.
Detailed Slippage Table:
The Detailed Slippage Table provides a comprehensive breakdown of the calculated slippage and fees incurred throughout the strategy’s operations. It contains several key metrics that give traders a granular view of the costs associated with executing the system:
Selected Slippage - Displays the current slippage rate, as defined in the input menu.
Removal Slippage - This accounts for any slippage or fees incurred when removing an allocation from a token.
Reallocation Slippage - Tracks the slippage or fees when reallocating capital to existing positions.
Addition Slippage - Measures the slippage or fees incurred when allocating capital to new tokens.
Final Slippage - Is the sum of all the individual slippage points and provides a quick view of the total slippage accounted for by the system.
The table is also divided into two columns:
Last Transaction Slippage + Fees - Displays any slippage or fees incurred based on position changes within the current bar.
Total Slippage + Fees - Shows the cumulative slippage and fees incurred since the portfolio’s selected start date.
Visual Customization:
Several customizable features are included within the input menu to enhance user experience. These include custom color palettes, both preloaded and user-selectable. This allows traders to personalize the visual appearance of the tables, ensuring clarity and consistency with their preferred interface themes and background coloring.
Additionally, users can adjust both the position and sizes of all the tables - enabling complete tailoring to the trader’s layout and specific viewing preferences and screen configurations. This level of customization ensures a more intuitive and flexible interaction with the system’s data.
Core Features and Methodologies
Advanced Risk Management - A Unique Filtering Approach:
The Equity Curve Activation Filter introduces an innovative way to dynamically manage capital allocation, aligning with periods of market trend strength. This filter is rooted in the understanding that markets move cyclically - altering between periods trending and mean-reverting periods. This cycle is especially pronounced in the crypto markets, where strong uptrends are often followed by prolonged periods of sideways movements or corrections as participants take profits and momentum fades.
The Cyclical Nature of Markets and Trend Following:
Financial markets do not trend indefinitely. Each uptrend or downtrend, whether over high and low timeframes, tends to culminate in a phase where momentum exhausts - leading to the sideways or corrective phases. This cycle results from the natural dynamics of market participants: during extended trends, more participants jump in, riding the momentum until profit taking causes the trend to slow down or reverse. This cyclical behavior occurs across all timeframes and in all markets - making it essential to adapt trading strategies in attempt to minimize losses during less favorable conditions.
In a trend following system, profitability often mirrors this cyclical pattern. Trend following strategies thrive when markets are moving directionally, capturing gains as price moves with strength in a single direction. However in phases where the market chops sideways, trend following strategies will usually experience drawdowns and reduced returns due to the impersistent nature of any trends. This fluctuation in trend following profitability can actually serve as one of the best coincident indicators of broader market regime change - when profitability begins to fade, it often signals a transition to drawn out unfavorable trend trading conditions.
The Equity Curve as a Market Signal
Within the Impulse Tracker, a continuous equity curve is calculated based upon the system's allocation to the strongest tokens. This equity curve effectively tracks the system’s performance under all market conditions. However, instead of solely relying on the direct performance of the selected tokens, the system applies additional filters to analyze the trend strength of this equity curve itself.
In the same way you only want to purchase an asset that is moving up in price, you only want to allocate capital to a strategy whose equity curve is trending upwards!
The Equity Curve Activation Filter consistently monitors the trend of this equity curve through various filter indicators, such as the “Wave Pendulum Trend”, the “Quasar QSM” and the “MAQSM” (an aggregate of multiple types of averages). These filters help determine whether the equity curve is trending upwards, signaling a favorable period for trend following. When the equity curve is in a positive trend, capital is allocated to the system as normal - allowing it to capture gains during favorable market conditions, Conversely, when the trend weakens and the equity curves begins to stagnate or decline, the activation filter shifts the system into a “cash” positions - temporarily halting allocations in order to prevent market exposure during choppy or mean reverting phases.
Timing Allocation With Market Conditions
This unique filtering approach ensures that the system is primarily active during periods when market trends are most supportive. By aligning capital allocations with the uptrend in trend following profitability, the system is designed to enter during periods of strong momentum and move to cash when momentum with the equity curve wanes. This approach reduces the risk of overtrading in less favorable conditions and preserves capital for the next favorable trend.
In essence the Equity Curve Allocation Filter serves as a dynamic risk management layer that leverages the cyclicality of trend following profitability in order to navigate shifting market phases.
Sensitivity and Signal Responsiveness:
The Quasar Sensitivity Setting allows users to fine-tune the system’s responsiveness to asset signals. High sensitivity settings lead to quicker position changes, making the system highly reactive to short term strength impulses. This is especially useful in fast moving markets where token strength can shift rapidly. The Sensitive setting might be more applicable to higher volatility or lower market cap assets - as the increased volatility increases the necessity of faster position cutting in order to front run the crowd. Of course - a balanced approach is ideal, as if the signals are too fast there will be too many whips and false signals. (And extra fees + slippage!)
The benefit of this script is because of the advanced slippage calculations, false signals are sufficiently punished (unlike systems without fees or slippage) - so it will become immediately apparent if the false signals have a significantly detrimental impact on the system’s equity curve.
Asset specific signals within each category are re-evaluated after the close of each bar to ensure that capital is always allocated to the highest performing asset. If a token’s momentum begins to fade the system swiftly reallocates to the next strongest asset within that category.
Category Filter - Allocates only to the Strongest Asset per group
One of the core innovations of the AI x Meme Impulse Tracker is the customizable Category Filter, which ensures that only the strongest-performing asset within each predefined group receives capital allocation. This approach not only increases the precision of asset selection but also allows traders to tailor the system to specific token narratives or categories. Sectors can include trending themes such as high-attention meme tokens, AI-driven tokens, or even categorize assets by blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, or Base chain. This flexibility enables users to align their strategies with the latest market narratives or to optimize for specific groups, focusing on high-beta tokens within well defined sectors for a more targeted exposure. By keeping the focus on category leaders, the system avoids diluting its impact across underperforming assets, thereby maximizing capital efficiency and reducing unnecessary trading costs.
Dynamic Asset Reallocation:
Dynamic reallocation ensures that the system remains nimble and adapts to changing market conditions. Unlike slower systems, the Quasar method continually monitors for changes in asset strength and reallocates capital accordingly - ensuring that the system is always positioned in the highest performing assets within each category.
Position Changes and Slippage:
The Impulse Tracker places a strong emphasis on realistic simulation, prioritizing accuracy over inflated backtest results. This approach ensures that slippage is accounted for in a more aggressive manner than what may be experienced in real-world execution.
Each position change within the system - whether it’s buying, selling, reallocating, or rebalancing between assets - incurs slippage. Slippage is applied to both ends of every transaction: when a position is entered and exited, and when reallocating capital from one token to another. This dynamic behavior is further enhanced by a customizable slippage/fees input, allowing users to simulate realistic transaction costs based on their own market conditions and execution behaviors.
The slippage model works by applying a weighted slippage to the equity curve, taking into account the actual amount of capital being moved. Slippage is not applied in a blanket manner but rather in proportion to the allocation changes. For example, if the system reallocates from a single 100% position to two 50% allocations, slippage will be applied to the 50% removed from the first asset and the 50% added to the new asset, resulting in a 1x slippage multiplier.
This process becomes more granular when multiple assets are involved. For instance, if reallocating from two 50% positions to three 33% positions, slippage will be incurred on each of the changes, but at a reduced rate (⅔ x slippage), reflecting the smaller percentage of portfolio equity being moved. The slippage model accounts for all types of allocation shifts, whether increasing or decreasing the number of tokens held, providing a realistic assessment of system costs.
Here are some detailed examples to illustrate how slippage is calculated based on different scenarios:
100% → 50% / 50%: 1x slippage applied to both position changes (2 allocation changes).
50% / 50% → 33% / 33% / 33%: ⅔ x slippage multiplier applied across 3 allocation changes.
33% / 33% / 33% → 100%: 4/3 x slippage multiplier applied across 3 allocation changes.
In practice, not every position change will be rebalanced perfectly, leading to a lower number of transactions and lower costs in practice. Additionally, with the use of limit orders, a trader can easily reduce the costs of entering a position, as well as ensuring a competitive entry price.
By simulating slippage in this granular manner, the system captures the absolute maximum level of fees and slippage, in order to ensure that backtest results lean towards an underrepresentation - opposed to inflated results compared with practical execution.
A Special Note on Slippage
In the image above, the system has been applied to four different timeframes - 20h, 15h, 10h, and 5h - using identical settings and a selected slippage amount of 2%. By isolating a recent trend leg, we can illustrate an important concept: while the 15h timeframe is more profitable than the 20h timeframe, this difference stems from a core trading principle. Lower timeframes typically provide more data points and allow for quicker entries and exits in a robust system. This often results in reduced downside and compounding of gains.
However, slippage, fees, and execution constraints are limiting factors, especially in volatile, low-cap cryptocurrencies. Although lower timeframes can improve performance by increasing trade frequency, each trade incurs heavy slippage costs that accumulate - impacting the portfolio’s capital at a compounding rate. In this example, the chosen slippage rate of 2% per trade is designed to reflect the realistic trading costs, emphasizing how lower timeframe trading comes at the cost of increased slippage and fees
Finding the optimal balance between timeframe and slippage impact requires careful consideration of factors such as portfolio size, liquidity of selected tokens, execution speed, and the fee rate of the exchange you execute trades on.
Equity Curve and Performance Calculations
To provide a benchmark, the script also generates a Buy-and-Hold (or "HODL") equity curve that represents a complete allocation to Bitcoin. This allows users to easily compare the performance of the dynamic rotation system with that more traditional benchmark strategy.
The script tracks key performance metrics for both the dynamic portfolio and the HODL strategy, including:
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio is a key metric that evaluates a portfolio’s risk-adjusted return by comparing its ‘excess’ return to its volatility. Traditionally, the Sharpe Ratio measures returns relative to a risk-free rate. However, in our system’s calculation, we omit the risk-free rate and instead measure returns above a benchmark of 0%. This adjustment provides a more universal comparison, especially in the context of highly volatile assets like cryptocurrencies, where a traditional risk-free benchmark, such as the usual 3-month T-bills, is often irrelevant or too distant from the realities of the crypto market.
By using 0% as the baseline, we focus purely on the strategy's ability to generate raw returns in the face of market risk, which makes it easier to compare performance across different strategies or asset classes. In an environment like cryptocurrency, where volatility can be extreme, the importance of relative return against a highly volatile backdrop outweighs comparisons to a risk-free rate that bears little resemblance to the risk profile of digital assets.
Sortino Ratio
The Sortino Ratio improves upon the Sharpe Ratio by specifically targeting downside risk and leaves the upside potential untouched. In contrast to the Sharpe Ratio (which penalizes both upside and downside volatility), the Sortino Ratio focuses only on negative return deviations. This makes it a more suitable metric for evaluating strategies like the AI x Meme Impulse Tracker - that aim to minimize drawdowns without restricting upside capture. By measuring returns relative to a 0% baseline, the Sortino ratio provides a clearer assessment of how well the system generates gains while avoiding substantial losses in highly volatile markets like crypto.
Omega Ratio
The Omega Ratio is calculated as the ratio of gains to losses across all return thresholds, providing a more complete view of how the system balances upside and downside risk even compared to the Sortino Ratio. While it achieves a similar outcome to the Sortino Ratio by emphasizing the system's ability to capture gains while limiting losses, it is technically a mathematically superior method. However, we include both the Omega and Sortino ratios in our metric table, as the Sortino Ratio remains more widely recognized and commonly understood by traders and investors of all levels.
Usage Summary:
While the backtests in this description are generated as if a trader held a portfolio of just the strongest tokens, this was mainly designed as a method of logical verification and not a recommended investment strategy. In practice, this system can be used in multiple ways.
It can be used as above, or as a factor in forming part of a broader asset selection system, or even a method of filtering tokens by strength in order to inform a day trader which tokens might be optimal to look for long-only trading setups on an intrabar timeframe.
Final Summary:
The AI x Meme Impulse Tracker is a powerful algorithm that leverages a unique strength and impulse based approach to asset allocation within high beta token categories. Built with a robust risk management framework, the system’s Equity Curve Activation Filter dynamically manages capital exposure based on the cyclical nature of market trends, minimizing exposure during weaker phases.
With highly customizable settings, the Impulse Tracker enables precise capital allocation to only the strongest assets, informed by real-time metrics and rigorous slippage modeling in order to provide the best view of historical profitability. This adaptable design, coupled with advanced performance analytics, makes it a versatile tool for traders seeking an edge in fast moving and volatile crypto markets.

Offers quicker signals that are also binary in nature. Perfect for a confirmation signal when building higher frequency day trading systems.
Volatility Spectrum:
This feature projects a visual 'cloud' representing volatility, which helps traders spot emerging trends and potential breakouts or reversals.
Compressed Mode:
A condensed view that displays all signals in a clean and space-efficient manner. It provides a clear summary of market conditions, ideal for traders who prefer a simplified overview.
Methodology
The RSI Pulsar is built on a foundation of dynamic RSI analysis, where the traditional RSI is enhanced with advanced moving averages and standard deviation calculations. Each mode within the RSI Pulsar is designed to cater to specific aspects of the market's behavior, making it a versatile tool allowing traders to select different modes based on their trading style and market conditions.
Impulse Mode:
This mode identifies strong outperformance in assets, making it ideal for asset rotation systems. It uses a combination of RSI thresholds and dynamic moving averages to pinpoint when an asset is not just trending positively, but doing so with significant strength.
This is in contrast to typical usage of a base RSI, where elevated levels usually signal overbought and oversold periods. The RSI Pulsar flips this logic, where more extreme values are actually interpreted as a strong trend.
Trend Following Mode:
Here, the RSI is compared to the midline (the default is level 50, but a dynamic midline can also be set), to determine the prevailing trend. This mode simplifies the trend-following process, providing clear bullish or bearish signals based on whether the RSI is above or below the midline - whether a fixed or dynamic level.
Ribbon Mode:
This mode employs a series of calculated values derived from modified Heikin-Ashi smoothing to create a "ribbon" that smooths out price action and highlights underlying trends. The Ribbon Mode is particularly useful for traders who need quick confirmations of trend reversals or continuations.
Volatility Spectrum:
The Volatility Spectrum takes a unique approach to measuring market volatility by analyzing the size and direction of Heikin-Ashi candles. This data is used to create a volatility cloud that helps traders identify when volatility is rising, falling, or neutral - allowing them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
When the signal line breaks above the cloud, it signals increasing upwards volatility. When it breaks below it signifies increasing downwards volatility.
This can be used to help identify strengthening and weakening trends, as well as imminent volatile periods, allowing traders to position themselves and adapt their strategies accordingly. This mode also works as a great volatility filter for shorter term day trading strategies. It is incredibly sensitive to volatility divergences, and can give additional insights to larger market turning points.
Compressed Mode:
In Compressed Mode, all the signals from the various modes are displayed in a simplified format, making it easy for traders to quickly assess the market's overall condition without needing to delve into the details of each mode individually. Perfect for only viewing the exact data you need when live trading, or back testing.
Case Study I:
Utilizing ALMA Impulse Mode in High-Volatility Environments
Here, the RSI Pulsar is configured with an RSI length of 9 and an ALMA length of 2 in Impulse Mode. The chart example shows how this setup can identify significant price movements, allowing traders to enter positions early and capture substantial price moves. Despite the fast settings resulting in occasional false signals, the indicator's ability to catch and ride out major trends more than compensates, making it highly effective in volatile environments.
This configuration is suitable for traders seeking to trade quick, aggressive movements without enduring prolonged drawdowns. In Impulse Mode, the RSI Pulsar seeks strong trending zones, providing actionable signals that allow for timely entries and exits.
Case Study II:
SMMA Trend Following Mode for Ratio Analysis
The RSI Pulsar in Trend Following mode, configured with the SMMA with default length settings. This setup is ideal for analyzing longer-term trends, particularly useful in cryptocurrency pairs or ratio charts, where it’s crucial to identify robust directional moves. The chart showcases strong trends in the Solana/Ethereum pair. The RSI Pulsar’s ability to smooth out price action while remaining responsive to trend changes makes it an excellent tool for capturing extended price moves.
The image highlights how the RSI Pulsar efficiently tracks the strength of two tokens against each other, providing clear signals when one asset begins to outperform the other. Even in volatile markets, the SMMA ensures that the signals are reliable, filtering out noise and allowing traders to stay in the trend longer without being shaken out by minor corrections. This approach is particularly effective in ratio trading in order to inform a longer term swing trader of the strongest asset out of a customized pair.
Case Study III:
Monthly Analysis with RSI Pulsar in Ribbon Mode
This case study demonstrates the versatility and reliability of the RSI Pulsar in Ribbon mode, applied to a monthly chart of Bitcoin with an RSI length of 8 and a TEMA length of 14. This setup highlights the indicator’s robustness across multiple timeframes, extending even to long-term analysis. The RSI Pulsar effectively smooths out noise while capturing significant trends, as seen during Bitcoin bull markets. The Ribbon mode provides a clear visual representation of momentum shifts, making it easier for traders to identify trend continuations and reversals with confidence.
Case Study IV:
Divergences and Continuations with the Volatility Spectrum
Identifying harmony/divergences can be hit-or-miss at times, but this unique analysis method definitely has its merits at times. The RSI Pulsar, with its Volatility Spectrum feature, is used here to identify critical moments where price action either aligns with or diverges from the underlying volatility. As seen in the Bitcoin chart (using default settings), the indicator highlights areas where price trends either continue in harmony with volatility or diverge, signaling potential reversals. This method, while not always perfect, provides significant insight during key turning points in the market.
The Volatility Spectrum's visual representation of rising and falling volatility, combined with divergence and harmony analysis, enables traders to anticipate significant shifts in market dynamics. In this case, multiple divergences correctly identified early trend reversals, while periods of harmony indicated strong trend continuations. While this method requires careful interpretation, especially during complex market conditions, it offers valuable signals that can be pivotal in making informed trading decisions, especially if combined with other forms of analysis it can form a critical component of an investing system.
ICSM (Impulse-Correction & SCOB Mapper) [WinWorld]DESCRIPTION
ICSM (Impulse-Correction SCOB Mapper) is the indicator that analyzes the price movement and identifies valid impulses, corrections and SCOBs. It is a powerful tool that can be used with any type of technical analysis because it's flexible, informative, easy to use and it does substantially improve trader's awareness of the most liquid zones of interest.

ICM+SCOB (same candle) — enables/disables alert for SCOB occurance at the candle, which grabs ICM line's liquidity.
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
In order to fully understand what ICSM can do, let's do a quick overview of the most important concepts that this indicator is built on.
By ICM we mean the liquidity grabbing of Impulse-Correction Mapper's lines (ICM lines; represented as dashed horizontal lines on the chart ). Saying shortly, liquidity grabs of ICM lines posses great opportunities for finding great entries.
SCOB (Single Candle Order Block) builds up by 3 simple rules:
Previous candle's liquidity is grabbed;
Current candle closes inside previous candle;
Imbalance occurs on the next candle.
SCOB is a quite useful zone of interest, from which the price usually reverses. You can also use SCOB as POI* on HTF** or as entry zone on LTF***.
* POI — Point Of Interest
* HTF — Higher TimeFrame
* LTF — Lower TimeFrame
"ICM+SCOB" is a short name that we use for event, at which price first grabs the liquidity from ICM line and then creates a SCOB at the same impulse/correction movement ( on the same ICM line, that does the liquidity grab ). Usually the SCOB that occurs after this event represents a highly liquid zone of interest , which should be considered when choosing entry level.
"ICM+SCOB (same candle)" is basically the same as "ICM+SCOB" event but with one major difference — the candle, which grabs the liquidity of ICM line, is also the candle at which the SCOB occurs, making such SCOB an even better zone of interest than a regular SCOB from ICM+SCOB event.
BIGGEST ADVANTAGES
ICSM precisely identifies impulses and corrections. Huge load of indicators on the TradingView does only show the simplest zones of interests, while ICSM uses our team's signature algorithms to precisely identify true impulses and corrections in the market, allowing traders to see both local and global price direction better and at the same time providing traders with the most liquid zones of interest;
ICSM shows points of interest and liquidity. The indicator identifies the nearest points of interest and zones, where the liquidity is concentrated, allowing you to find great entry and exit points for your trades;
ICSM has SCOB (Single Candle Order Block) detection function. ICM is packed with the extremely useful in SMC trading SCOB detetction feature, which allows you find even more solid points of interest;
ICSM has super minimalistic design, which contains only the things you really need. Your chart will not be overloaded with unnecessary information. You will only see clear points of interest, liquidity and price movement.
WHY SHOULD YOU USE IT?
As was said above, ICSM allows you to see the most profitable points and zones of interest, which professional SMC traders consider as one of the best in the market, because they are historically the areas from which the price bounces the most, allowing the smartest traders to get quick an clean profits with low drawdown.
In the ICSM indicator these zones are SCOB and ICM line liquidity grabs. By using these zones of interest to find entry points, you increase the chance to open a trade at the most lucrative price and reduce trading risks.
Considering what was said above, this indicator can help traders reduce drawdown risks and increase potential profits simply by showing the most liquid zones of interest, which are perfect for opening a trading position.
Here are some of the examples of how you leverage ICSM in your trading process:
Example of the short trade:
Price shows overall short trend. Trend liquidity is being formed.
Price grabs liduiqity from three ICM lines in a row and then creates a long SCOB at the end of 3rd liquidity grab.
SCOB, which occured at the end of ICM line, represents much stronger zone of interest than a regular SCOB. In this case it represents a zone, which we will use to find an entry.
The entry for the trade will be SCOB candle's low, stop-loss target should be put above SCOB candle's high. Our take-profit target is trend liquidity. See the screenshot above for better understanding.
▼ Now let's see the long trade example. ▼
Example of the long trade:
Price creates trend liquidity by showing equal highs ( EQH ).
Price grabs liduiqity from four ICM lines in a row and then creates a long SCOB at the end of 4th liquidity grab.
Again: SCOB, which occured at the end of ICM line, represents much stronger zone of interest than a regular SCOB. In this case it represents a zone, which we will use to find an entry.
The entry for the trade will be SCOB candle's high, stop-loss target should be put below SCOB candle's low. Our take-profit target is EQH. See the screenshot above for better understanding.
ALERTS
ICSM provides simple and easy alert customization, allwoing to choose only the alerts you want to receive. You can choose from the following alert options:
ICM — impulse or correction liquidity grab;
SCOB — SCOB is formed, wether or not the liquidity is grabbed from the impulse or correction;
SCOB+ICM — SCOB is formed after grabbing the liquidity of the ICM line;
SCOB+ICM (same candle) — SCOB is formed in the liquidity area of the impulse or correction.
HOW CAN I GET THE MOST OUT OF IT?
ICSM displays only the first liquidity of an impulse or correction, which matches the IDM (Inducement) in the Advanced SMC strategy . This strategy is completely covered in the World Class SMC indicator and is available for free for PDF in three parts.
You can also ICSM with any other strategy, because ICSM is a very flexible indicator and will help anyone improve their trading by making one aware of the high-quality liquidity on the chart.
Let's see how you can leverage ICSM with our World Class SMC indicator and other different strategies:
Example of the long & short trades with World Class SMC.
Long (1-3):
Price reached previous OB-EXT . This is the first sign for the potential price reversal;
ICM+SCOB happened after price reached OB-EXT;
After that, you can need to look for an entry on LTF. If you don't know how to do it, you can refer to our education materials.
Short (4-6):
Price reached OB-IDM , which is also a great sign for a potential upcoming price reversal;
ICM+SCOB occured after liquidity grab of the previous SCOB. This fact does strengthen the probability of the potential upcoming price reversal;
Now you need to switch to LTF and find an entry there.
Example of the short trade with simple Fibonacci retracement strategy.
Price grabs the liquidity of the ICM lines three times in a row, forming SCOB after the 3rd grab;
Price performs correctional move down without testing the SCOB, leaving no entry opportunity by our initial strategy, so we can add another strategy — Fibonacci retracement from 0.618 level — to our analysis in order to find an entry ;
We use Fibonacci grid with our initial strategy to find the best POI, that will align with the trend direction and will eventually become our entry point.
SUMMARY
ICSM is a unique indicator that indentifies zones and points of interests with high-quiality liquidity and can be both a stand-alone tool and can be integrated into any other strategy to increase the efficiency of analysis, accuracy of trading entries and reduce trading risks.
If you want to learn the SMC strategies that our team uses in our products, you can refer to our educational materials.
We hope that you will find a great use of ICSM and it will help you improve your perfomance as a trader. Best of luck, traders!

Candle Patterns with Volume ValidationHey Guys !
█ This indicator shows validated Hammer and Shooting Star candle patterns based on volume.
This indicator identifies Hammer and Shooting Star patterns and validates them using volume analysis.
Hammer and Shooting Star patterns are candlestick patterns that signal potential reversals in the market.
█ Usages:
A hammer is formed when in a session, the price has fallen, only to reverse and recover to close back near the opening price. This is a sign of strength with the selling having been absorbed in sufficient strength for the buyers to overwhelm the sellers, allowing the market to recover. The hammer is so called as it is ‘hammering out a bottom’, and just like the shooting star, is immensely powerful when combined with Volume Price Analysis (VPA).
The shooting star is a bearish reversal pattern that appears at the top of uptrends. It signifies that prices have peaked and a downward reversal is likely. The presence of high volume strengthens this signal, indicating that the insiders are offloading their positions.
When combined with volume analysis, these patterns become powerful signals. The volume provides context to the price action, helping traders confirm the validity of the pattern. For example, a hammer with high volume suggests strong buying interest, whereas a shooting star with high volume indicates strong selling pressure.
█ Features:
• Detects Hammer and Shooting Star patterns.
• Validates patterns with volume thresholds.
• Color codes patterns based on volume validation.
• Allows customization of volume thresholds and pattern criteria.
• Option to show or hide signals.
█ Parameters:
• Volume Average Period: The period used to calculate the average volume.
• Higher Volume Multiplier: Multiplier to define higher volume threshold.
• Much Higher Volume Multiplier: Multiplier to define much higher volume threshold.
• Enormous Volume Multiplier: Multiplier to define enormous volume threshold.
• Body/Shadow Ratio for Hammer and Shooting Star: Ratio of body to shadow for pattern validation.
• Upper Shadow Limit for Hammer: Upper shadow limit for Hammer pattern.
• Lower Shadow Limit for Shooting Star: Lower shadow limit for Shooting Star pattern.
• Show Hammer Signals: Display signals for Hammer patterns.
• Show Shooting Star Signals: Display signals for Shooting Star patterns.

Pulse Profiler [QuantraSystems]Pulse Profiler
Introduction
The Pulse Profiler ( ℙℙ ) is specifically designed to unambiguously indicate weakening momentum after a strong impulse. The upper and lower standard deviation bands also allow the user to assess the strength of an impulse and differentiate it from general noise.
Due to the ℙℙ ’s rapid responsiveness to exhaustion in price movement it is ideally used for the trader to recognize when to start taking profit when combined with other indicators.
The novum is that by dynamically balancing its sensitivity to recent movements the ℙℙ considers the asset’s inherent volatility. By reducing noise without sacrificing signal, and by visualizing it in our typical modern QuantraAI style, the ℙℙ enhances the traders’ ability to distinguish impulses with weakening momentum from strong trending movements.
Legend
Impulse: The ℙℙ showing strength based on momentum and volume.
Dynamic standard deviation bands: Rolling probability based bands based on a rolling normal distribution. Adjustable, recommended are σ = 1.5 to σ = 2.5.
Neutral lines: Dynamic thresholds which get often respected as support or resistance.
Case Study
To properly employ the ℙℙ , the trader should use it to identify out-of-the-ordinary 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓼 which cause a following exhaustion.
The rolling standard deviation bands incorporate the asset’s historical behavior in regards to its inherent volatility on a rolling basis. If the asset shows strong 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓼 that go beyond the rolling standard deviation, the event has been highly improbable. The trader then needs to determine if the price change was caused by critical external factors. If not, it is highly probable that the momentum exhausts and that price movement plateaus to enter a range.
These signals indicate that it is highly probable that closing a position upon these conditions is the correct choice.
If the 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮 reverses and retraces into the opposite direction, while moving more than 1.5σ across just 3 bars on the 4H chart, the signal indicates that a reversal is pushing the price down – in both momentum and volume.
A sharp reversal thus becomes more probable than not.
The ℙℙ can also be calibrated to find possible trend exhaustions on a longer timeframe (1D).
Please always use multiple Quantra indicators to add confirmations to your signals.

Notes
Quantra Standard Value Contents:
The Heikin-Ashi (HA) candle visualization smoothes out the signal line to provide more informative insights into momentum and trends. This allows earlier entries and exits by observing the indicator values transformed by the HA.
Various visualization options are available to adjust the indicator to the user’s preference: Aside from HA, a classic line, or a hybrid of both.
A special feature of Quantra’s indicators is that they are probabilistically built - therefore they work well as confluence and can easily be stacked to increase signal accuracy.
To add to Quantra's indicators’ utility we have added the option to change the price bars colors based on different signals:
Choose Mode for Coloring
Trend Following (Indicator above mid line counts as uptrend, below is downtrend)
Extremes (Everything beyond the SD bands is highlighted to signal mean reversion)
Candles (Color of HA candles as barcolor)
Reversions (Only for HA) (Reversion Signals via the triangles if HA candles change trend while beyond the SD bands, high probability entries/exits)
The ℙℙ is also sensitive to divergences for those interested in utilizing this feature.
Through a special combination of price, volume and momentum you get a holistic overview on the impulse strengths of movements.
The two neutral lines in the center act as dynamic, volume and volatility adjusted thresholds. Often the signal line respects them as support and resistance.
The upper and lower standard deviation lines express the rarity of an impulse based on the asset’s inherent volatility.
The indicator needs a long enough timespan to build up its probability estimation, therefore the asset needs sufficient price history.
The indicator requires thorough volume data. If the source of an asset pair does not forward it, try to find another source or exchange for the same pair.
Signal Mode on the 4H chart is a relevant part of this indicator when used in isolation and helps to analyze momentum adjusted by volatility.
Methodology
The ℙℙ combines the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) with a bespoke volume and momentum calculation, with a classical Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on price data.
The ℙℙ itself integrates ALMA for volume and momentum with an EMA calculation on price, creating a unique blend that expresses impulses using their three raw main components.
The indicator calculates dynamic standard deviation bands based on an adjustable lookback period and the adjustable sigma (σ), to signal when the impulse strength is just uncommon or even extraordinary when compared to the usual price movements:
σ = 1.5 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is 13.37% / 2, hence ~ 6.69%
σ = 2.0 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is ~ 2.28%
σ = 2.5 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is ~ 0.62%
By detecting extremely improbable conditions the indicator can create an inversely highly probable signal to its user.
Neutral bands are calculated based on the ℙℙ alongside a rolling, dynamic multiplier. This effectively provides dynamic thresholds for approximating common volatility.
Heikin Ashi method: The indicator uses a custom function to calculate Heikin Ashi values, useful for smoothing impulse data and identifying trends.
Reversion Signals: Specifically for Heikin Ashi displays, we plot triangles as signals, useful to easily spot potential reversals.
The Signal Mode uses these different thresholds to highlight significant market moves.
Impulse MACD buy OwlPixelDescription:
The Impulse MACD Buy Indicator, developed by OwlPixel, is a powerful trading tool for traders using TradingView's Pine Script version 5. This indicator aims to provide valuable insights for identifying potential buy signals in the market using the popular MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator.
Key Features:
MACD Analysis: The indicator displays the MACD line (blue) and the signal line (orange) on the chart, helping traders assess the momentum and trend direction of an asset.
Impulse Histo: The Impulse Histo (blue histogram) visualizes the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, making it easier to spot changes in market strength and potential trend reversals.
Impulse MACD CD Signal: This histogram (maroon color) highlights the divergence between the Impulse Histo and the signal line, providing further insights into trend shifts.
Background Boxes: The indicator features three rows of different colored background boxes that represent distinct market conditions - an uptrend (light green), a downtrend (light red), and a neutral trend (light yellow).
Crossover Points: Buy signals are marked with green circles when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, suggesting potential entry points for long positions.
Demand and Supply Bars: The demand (lime/green) and supply (red/orange) bars are intensified, aiding traders in identifying possible reversal areas.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
The Impulse MACD Buy Indicator automatically calculates Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels for buy signals. The SL level is set at the highest of the last three candles, while the TP level is determined by a user-defined percentage of the closing price. This information helps traders manage risk and optimize their profit potential.
Usage:
Apply the Impulse MACD Buy Indicator to your TradingView chart by copying the provided Pine Script into the Pine Editor.
Configure the input parameters, such as the MA Length and Signal Length, to suit your trading preferences.
Observe the MACD line, signal line, and histograms to gain insights into market momentum and trends.
Identify buy signals when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, signaled by green circles.
Utilize the provided Stop Loss and Take Profit levels for risk management and exit strategies.
Please note that this indicator is for informational purposes only and should be used in conjunction with other analysis techniques to make well-informed trading decisions. Happy trading!
TWA - SurgeWith the TWA Surge indicator we make price and volume impulses easy to read.
Ideally if you are looking to go long look for a red surge and if your looking to go short look for a green surge.
Volume traders out there always wonder if its a bull rush or a falling knife and not sure when that push of volume and momentum will slow down. That's where the borders of the surge come in when a green surge gets a red border forming or a red surge gets a green border forming that means it's show time.
Lastly the surge has exhausted volume built in as well so when you see a different color in your red or green surges you will be able to get further confirmation that the team you are trading against needs to take a break and your team is at full strength ready to take them down.
Under the hood the surge impulses are calculated using a proprietary algorithm involving the amount of standard deviations price deviates from an average, and accumulations of volume for both above and below average volume .
Similarly the exhausted volume looks for strong deviations from the average amount of volume . Standard deviations of price measure the amount of variation or dispersion among price values. Looking at price and volume through the lens of standard deviations it can be seen when price and/or volume are outside of their statistical norm, hence as outliers or extremes they become more likely to reverse and return to a statistical norm.
This increased tendency for a reversal makes the surges on the TWA Surge a useful tool for finding trade opportunities.
The indicator provides many elements to create confluence for trade set-ups. The border of the surge histogram changes color to visually signal when momentum is changing direction. A trade set-up of this would be seeing a red surge form followed by the border turning green. Other elements include horizontal line meters that change colors to show the story of price and momentum.
The uppermost horizontal line meter uses an algorithm to compare price to its recent ranges over multiple times to determine trend direction.
The 2nd horizontal line meter measures the directional efficiency of the movement of price to determine direction in the market.
The 3rd horizontal line meter calculates buying and selling pressure by separating volume that moves price up from volume that moves price down, and comparing that to the total volume .
The 4th horizontal line meter uses an algorithm combining the volatility of recent candles with the statistical likeliness of price to return to its mean in order to determine direction, and if that direction is strengthening or weakening.
Bears Bulls Impulse█ OVERVIEW
Maybe another version of the Bears Bulls indicator, but with a unique interpretation on the scripts found here on Tradingview. Again, this indicator is not meant to be used alone but as an entry/exit confirmation with other indicators.
█ CONCEPTS
Using a modified version of the WMA indicator, the LWMA , this indicator will work similarly to the Bears Bulls Power indicator. Quoting from Admiral Markets, "Bulls Power measures the capability of buyers in the market to lift prices above an average consensus of value. Bears Power measures the capability of sellers to drag prices below an average consensus of value. Using them in tandem with a trend measure allows you to identify favorable entry points."
█ HOW TO USE IT
As soon as the color changes, it indicates a change in the price direction and divergences. Green buy, red sell? Not that simple, but following that pattern for scalping may result in some good entries. Following this indicator blindly will not be accurate as using another indicator to filter the signals in favor of a major trend (that indicator could be another Bears Bulls Inpulse from a higher time frame)
Filter impulse & step responsesA simple utility tool to examine a filter's step & impulse responses.
By default you can see LSMA's responses.
How to use:
1. Insert your filter to "f(input)" function inside the code;
2. Let this tool help you to make your own filters.
I been seeing people dropping snaps with this stuff but NEVER, NO1 actually dropped the tool itself (4 real?).
Well here is it, for you.
Almost forgot, adjust "Position" parameter to make plots seen. Try to zoom out, and +-100
Dynamic Momentum EcosystemTo make emotions obsolete in trading/investing, traders must able to understand the overall trend and disregard with the short term fluctuations of the green and red candles formation. Generally, the moving averages identify the trend, while the MACD-Histogram and Volume measures momentum. As a result, the Impulse System combines trend following and momentum to identify tradable impulses. This unique indicator combination is color coded into the price bars for easy reference.
I've created a script that able help traders to do as such by removing noises and focusing on the momentum + trend. In this Momentum + Trend Following ecosystem, there are 4 colors:
Lime = Price closed higher + volume transacted higher than average + MACD Histogram increases + 13 EMA increases
Green = Price closed higher + MACD Histogram increases + 13 EMA increases
Red = Price closed lower + MACD Histogram decreases + 13 EMA decreases
Blue = Either MACD Histogram increases/decreases + 13 EMA increases/decreases
Lime candle is viewed as a robust bullish sign as price increases, supported by the rising MACD Histogram, 13EMA, and higher than average volumes transacted. Perfect for dip buying near the 20/50 MAs.
Green candle is viewed as bullish with the rising of MACD Histogram and EMA. Good for dip buying near the 20/50 MAs.
Red candle is viewed as bearish with the declining of MACD Histogram and EMA. Good for short entry. Can also be the early sign to take profits, as it could be the preliminary signal for trend reversal.
Blue candle is viewed as neutral.
The upper dotted purple line is the 52candles high.
The vertical grey line appears when the price > MA50 crosses above MA200, which is a golden crossover.
Traders are advised to time their entry using the impulse coloring system for stocks that are trading near the dotted line, following the grey line formation.
Another example, Zoom on daily timeframe (based on its 2020 great bullrun)
Another example, Hartalega on daily timeframe (based on its 2020 great bullrun)
Impulse levelsThe indicator detects impulses based on an increase in ATR and volume, and also plots levels based on these impulses.
Rolling largest Impulse Murreys LinesExperimental:
Uses Kadane's max subarray sum algorithm to find the largest impulse within a window and draws Murrey's math lines based on that impulse.
Unleash Elder Force on Your ChartI had searched for a proper indicator to recognize important impulses, so I just need to take a look at the indicator to quickly find them on the chart. Alexander Elder's Force is the answer, although I made a few changes to the design.
First, I found more accuracy using Hull Moving Average. It steers faster making sudden spikes even more visible. Second, it is faster to catch up and therefore ready for another impulse to measure.
The second change is to the visual presentation of the Elder Force. Columns look prettier and there needs to be a manually set value that gives regular sideways moves a border beside which it is likely to be either an institutional interference or a trend.
Furthermore, you can plot (minus) Elder Force in the indicator window too. This should be used to compare upside and downside thrusts with each other.
I don't use nor intend to use Elder Force as a buy/sell indicator. The point is to highlight certain price-action moments that I will then review and consider an entry after. I believe most indicators should be used like that.
:)
PRIME IMPULSE W/ 3MAThis indicator bundle, combined with PRIME-QUARTERS, provides a trader with everything needed, on chart, to make swing and scalper entries. The short candle SMA are used to execute immediate entries, while the larger candle tf indicate Continuation, trend changes and swing points. The color coded impulse indicator used both RSI and TSI variables to determine divergences and the probability of the impending impulse thereafter. Red and green within the candles indicate bull or bearish impulses, while the yellow bars signal decreased volume and momentum for the current impulse, indicating the possible end of trend and either retracement, or Reversal. $auceCamp

Impulse Guage Indicator for HA CandlesThis script uses Heikin Ashi candles to smooth out the candles, then counts how many consecutive candles in a row are the same colour (red or green). It then takes each count and multiples it by the difference between close and open, to provide a weighted movement.
Where larger moves create greater impulses.
ATR with Impulse AlertsThis is a very simple script which simply plots an ATR (the built-in ATR function, using RMA) and plots a cross when the previously closed bar is larger than the ATR by a given threshold. There are also alert conditions set so you can be alerted when these impulse bars show up, either up or down bars. Have fun and safe trading!

If the price doesn't breakouts from the SR level/zone there's a chance that the market has topped or bottomed out.
