Impulse - page 4

[Mr. Trillioner]

1. Price movement in forex is a stochastic process!!!
2. The movement is irregular.

1, maybe 2 pips per tick is a normal price movement. At 6 per tick the price usually does not bounce. Unless it is due to the news. Several ticks in one direction can happen, but not for a long time - the oppositely directed ones must appear.

To "see" an impulse it is not enough to compare two ticks. One should compare a period. Let's say a time period of 1 second.

Karputov Vladimir:
About the direction - there's a zero line in the figure and you can see that all the increments are pointing to the '+'.

Ahhhh. I get it now.

I was making an Expert Advisor that catches impulses. It happens.

I don't disagree, but not that often. The main thing is that such impulses are not always an entry signal... Usually, the price immediately goes in the opposite direction after such a move. It's as if the stops are being knocked out... or something. Volumes wouldn't hurt here, I think. Or other support/resistance levels

This is not the main thing right now. Methodology and analysis of working with momentum - that's later. First, just define the theory, then the mql5-code.

What's there to define?

An impulse. by definition, in my view, is a relatively abrupt change over a SOMETHING.

Accordingly, in my view, an impulse can be thought of as any change in price over a period of time. But that time cannot be counted in minutes. I inexperiencedly made a price change in 15 seconds. Nothing good came out of it. I cannot get to the next idea. The idea is as simple as three kopecks. To calculate the time by which the price changes in N ticks... I.e. both the time between ticks and the amount of points per tick are not constant, and therefore an impulse may be named as a price change together with the time change by the same amount of ticks.

I hope I've made myself clear enough... Even though I'm not too drunk...

Has anyone tried counting the ticks up and down separately on each bar, doing a cumulative on them and seeing if there are fish there?

It's probably best to do it in the form of a graph like this:
