Trend Impulse
Fast price spike detection
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 a trade on the broker in the same direction before the broker reacts.
| 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. Fewer but more reliable signals.
Shorter Trend Time
Requires faster price movement. Filters out slow drifts. Only catches genuine spikes.
IDEAL CONDITIONS
High Volatility
Works best during news events, session opens, or periods of increased market activity.
Fast Execution
Requires low-latency connection to capitalize on the brief window before brokers react.
Quick Targets
Designed for short-term trades. Locks in profit quickly before the impulse fades.
Key Features
Directional Trading
Trades in the direction of the impulse, following momentum rather than counter-trading.
Speed Advantage
Acts before slower broker feeds update, capturing the initial price movement.
Configurable Timing
Adjust sensitivity with Trend Gap and Trend Time to match market conditions.
Strategy Tip: Trend Impulse
Unlike other strategies that rely on gap, Trend Impulse triggers on price speed per tick. No gap setting needed — test different speed thresholds to find what works for your setup.
