This is a very simple script which simply plots an ATR (the built-in ATR function, using RMA) and plots a cross when the previously closed bar is larger than the ATR by a given threshold. There are also alert conditions set so you can be alerted when these impulse bars show up, either up or down bars. Have fun and safe trading!

Added the option to adjust the filter by another ATR multiplier rather than flat values so it works across more assets.

Added an alertcondition that captures both up and down moves so alerts can be set that don't use as many alert slots if used on multiple instruments.

Updated to v5 and added a multiplier for easily using with other indicators for SL/TP.

Updated to plot the multiplied ATR. Oops.

Minor updates; will need to rollback some of these updates at a later point. Trying to plot the numerics without visually updating it as it squashes the plots.
