STRATEGY: TREND IMPULSE
Monitors the Fast Feed for sudden, sharp price movements within a very short time window. When a strong directional impulse is detected, it opens one trade at your broker in the same direction. Your broker's price is not part of the signal.
| SETTING | WHAT IT DOES |
|---|---|
Trend Gap | Minimum price movement required to qualify as an impulse signal |
Trend Time | Time window in milliseconds. A shorter window filters out slow moves and only triggers on fast spikes |
HOW IMPULSE DETECTION WORKS
The Trend Impulse strategy continuously monitors the Fast Feed for rapid price changes. When the price moves by at least the Trend Gap amount within the Trend Time window, an impulse signal is triggered.
Larger Trend Gap
Filters out minor fluctuations. Only triggers on significant moves, so it trades less often.
Shorter Trend Time
Requires faster price movement. Filters out slow drifts. Only catches genuine spikes.
IDEAL CONDITIONS
High Volatility
Built for news events, session opens and other periods of increased market activity.
Fast feed
The move is measured on the fast feed alone; your broker's price is not part of the signal.
Exits
Uses the same exits as 1 Leg: Stop Loss, Take Profit, Hard SL, the trailing stop, Max Time and Min Time.
Key Features
Directional Trading
Trades in the direction of the impulse, following momentum rather than counter-trading.
Fast-feed trigger
Measures the move on the fast feed alone; your broker's price is not compared.
Configurable Timing
Adjust sensitivity with Trend Gap and Trend Time to match market conditions.
