Impulse Profile Zones [BigBeluga]

🔵 OVERVIEW
Impulse Profile Zones is a volume-based tool designed to highlight high-impact candles and visualize hidden liquidity zones inside them using microstructure data. It’s ideal for identifying volume concentration and potential reaction points during impulsive market moves.

Whenever a candle exceeds a specified size threshold, this indicator captures its structure and overlays a detailed intrabar volume profile (from a 10x lower timeframe), allowing traders to analyze the distribution of interest within powerful market impulses.

🔵 CONCEPTS

• Filters candles that exceed a user-defined threshold by size.
  
• For qualifying candles, retrieves lower timeframe price and volume data.
  
• Divides the candle’s body into 10 volume bins and calculates the volume per zone.
• Highlights the bin with the highest volume as the Point of Control (POC).
  
• Each POC line extends forward until a new impulse is detected.
  

🔵 FEATURES

• Impulse Candle Detection:
  Triggers only when a candle’s body size is larger than the defined threshold.
  
• Lower Timeframe Profiling:
  Aggregates 10-bin volume data from a lower timeframe (typically 1/10 of current TF).
  
  
• Volume Distribution Bars:
  Each bin displays a stylized bar using unicode block characters (e.g., ▇▇▇, ▇▇ or ▇--).
  The bar size reflects the relative volume intensity.
  
• POC Zone Mapping:
  The bin with the highest volume is marked with a bold horizontal line.
  Its value is labeled and extended until the next valid impulse.
  
  
  
  🔵 HOW TO USE
  • Use large candle profiles to assess which price levels inside a move were most actively traded.
    
  • Watch the POC line as a magnet for future price interaction (support/resistance or reaction).
    
  • Combine with market structure or order block indicators to identify confluence levels.
    
  • Adjust the “Filter Large Candles” input to detect more or fewer events based on volatility.
    
  
  
  
  🔵 CONCLUSIONImpulse Profile Zones [BigBeluga] is a hybrid microstructure tool that bridges lower timeframe volume with higher timeframe impulse candles. By revealing where most of the volume occurred inside large moves, traders gain a deeper view into hidden liquidity, enabling smarter trade entries and more confident profit-taking zones.
