Impulsive Trend Detector [dtAlgo]
This advanced Pine Script indicator identifies and tracks impulsive price movements based on Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) concepts from Smart Money trading methodology.
The indicator automatically detects pivot highs and lows, then monitors when price breaks these key levels to signal potential impulsive moves. BOS indicates continuation in the current trend direction, while CHoCH signals potential trend reversals. Each detected move is measured from the break point to the next opposing pivot, providing accurate percentage calculations that match TradingView's measuring tool.
Impulsive moves are categorized into four levels based on magnitude (Level 1: 5-10%, Level 2: 10-15%, Level 3: 15-20%, Level 4: 20%+), with color-coded visual labels and connecting lines displayed directly on the chart.
Comprehensive Session Analysis:
