INSTITUTIONAL MOMENTUM [@Ash_TheTrader]

⚡ The Impulse Engine: Institutional Velocity & Smart Structure System
Subtitle/Short Description: Stop looking at just Open and Close. Visualize the speed of price action, detect institutional footprints, and trade off dynamic "living" market structure that flips and burns automatically. Developed by @Ash_TheTrader.

The Hidden Dimension of Price Action
Most traders look at a standard candlestick and see four data points: Open, High, Low, and Close.

But this hides the most critical information: The struggle.

Did the buyers step in aggressively in the first 5 minutes, pushing price to highs instantly? (Institutional buying)

Or did it take 59 minutes of slow, grinding effort to reach that high? (Retail exhaustion/Trap)

Standard candles look identical in both scenarios. The Impulse Engine, developed by Ash_TheTrader, solves this by visualizing the "Speed of Price" (Velocity) directly onto your chart, combined with a state-of-the-art, dynamic market structure system.

It’s not just an indicator; it’s a complete market X-ray.

1. The Velocity Painter: See the Speed ⚡
The core of this system is the Velocity Engine. It looks "inside" your current timeframe bar (using lower timeframe data) to calculate how fast price traveled to its extremes.

It paints the bars based on institutional urgency, allowing you to ignore the noise and focus on the momentum.

The Visual Code:
⚡ NEON CYAN (Bullish Impulse): Aggressive buying. Price ripped from the open to the high very quickly. This is where the smart money is stepping on the gas.

⚡ NEON MAGENTA (Bearish Impulse): Aggressive selling. Price crashed from the open to the low immediately.

💤 FADED GREY (Exhaustion/Trap): The "grind." Price took a long time to reach its extremes. These are often low-momentum environments or potential traps waiting to reverse.

STANDARD GREEN/RED: Normal market flow with no significant velocity extremes.

2. Smart Structure: "Living" Levels 🏗️
Old-school pivot indicators clutter your chart with endless historical lines that are no longer relevant. The Impulse Engine uses a "Living Structure" algorithm that manages the lifecycle of every support and resistance level.

It only shows you the two most relevant Resistance levels (R1, R2) above price, and the two most relevant Support levels (S1, S2) below price.

Risk-Based Classification:
You choose the structure based on your trading style in the settings:

[RISKY] Scalp Mode: Detects short-term, 5-bar swings. (Thin dotted lines).

[MED] Trend Mode: Detects standard trend swings (21-bar). (Dashed lines).

[SAFE] Major Swing: Detects deep, major structural points (60-bar). (Thick solid lines).

The "Flip & Burn" Mechanic (Viral Feature) 🔥
This is where the system gets smart. It understands market mechanics:

The Flip (Role Reversal): If a Resistance level is broken by a candle close, it automatically turns Gold and becomes Support (Flip). The same applies to Support turning into Resistance. You no longer need to guess if an old level will hold from the other side.

The Burn (Auto-Cleaning): If a "Flipped" level is broken again, the system recognizes it has lost its structural integrity. The line is instantly "burned" (removed from the chart).

This ensures your chart only ever shows levels that are active and respected.

3. Whale Signs: The Footprint of Big Money 🐋
Sometimes, velocity isn't enough. You need to see raw power.

The Whale Sign feature detects massive expansions in volatility. It flags any candle whose range is significantly larger (default 2x) than the average of the previous two candles.

💚 Green Triangle + $ (Below Bar): A massive bullish expansion candle. A "Wake Up" call for longs.

❤️ Red Triangle + $ (Above Bar): A massive bearish expansion candle. A warning sign for shorts.

These often precede sustained velocity moves.

4. The Pro HUD (Heads-Up Display) 💻
In the bottom right corner, the dynamic HUD gives you a real-time health check of the current candle.

Status Header: Instantly tells you if the current candle is IMPULSE, EXHAUSTION, or NORMAL.

Live Velocity %: The exact speed score. The text color changes to Neon during impulses and fades to grey during exhaustion.

Mode Info: Reminds you which risk setting you are currently using (e.g., Mode: [MED]).

Signature: The official Ash_TheTrader stamp of quality.

How to Trade With The Impulse Engine
This system is designed for confluence. Never trade a signal in isolation.

📈 Strategy 1: The "Velocity Bounce" (Trend Continuation)
Ensure the market is trending (e.g., making higher highs).

Wait for price to pull back to a Smart Support level (Cyan dashed line or Gold "Flip" line).

Trigger: Look for a Neon Cyan Impulse Candle to form right off that support level. This confirms institutions are defending the structure with speed.

📉 Strategy 2: The "Whale Breakout"
Identify a consolidation zone below a Smart Resistance level.

Trigger: A Whale Sign ($) appears on a candle that successfully closes above the Resistance level.

Confirmation: The very next candle should ideally be a Neon Impulse candle continuing the move.

Conclusion
The markets are moved by aggression and speed. By obscuring this data, standard charts put you at a disadvantage.

The Impulse Engine brings this hidden data to the forefront, combining institutional velocity detection with smart, automated market structure that reacts to price just like a professional trader would.

Trade faster, trade smarter.
