unlock the secret of impulse candles: your guide to decision zonBitcoin / TetherUSBINANCE:BTCUSDTTrade_Logic_AIYou know that moment when price suddenly wakes up, slaps everyone in the face with one huge candle, and runs off without you? Yeah, that one candle can give you a full trading plan for the next few hours or even days – if you know how to pull “impulse levels” from it. Let me break down how I mark those “decision levels” after a strong candle and use them like magnets on the chart. First, what’s an impulse candle for me? Not just “big”. I want: 1. Candle clearly bigger than the last 10–20 candles 2. Strong body, small wicks (market wasn’t hesitating, it was attacking) 3. Often breaking some local range, high/low, or structure In simple words: that candle shows where big money stopped thinking and started acting. Now, where’s the “decision level” inside that candle? For a bullish impulse: - The open is usually where sellers got trapped or gave up - The close is where buyers pushed it to before the pause So the body of that candle is my “decision zone” – that’s where the market chose direction. What I do on the chart: 1. I mark a zone from the open to the close of the impulse candle 2. If the candle is insanely huge, I narrow it to the middle 50% of the body 3. High/low of the wick for me are secondary – more like extremes for stop placement, not the main level Then I just wait. No FOMO, no chasing. Let price come back to that decision zone. Scenario for a bullish impulse: - Price shoots up with a big green candle - I mark the body as a demand zone - On the pullback, I watch how price behaves inside that area: - Sharp rejection? Long lower wicks? Smaller timeframe bounce? Good. - Clean break through like butter? I’m not a hero, I step aside. Entries: - Conservative style: wait for a clear reaction from the zone, then enter with stop behind the wick - Aggressive style: limit order at the zone, stop beyond the impulse low, accept that sometimes it just fails and move on Higher timeframe trick: Impulse on H1 or H4 is gold. Mark that body zone, then drop to M5–M15 to hunt entries when price comes back. Same “decision level”, just zoomed-in execution. A few filters I personally use: - I only respect impulses that break something meaningful (range, high/low, trendline) - I don’t mark every big candle in a choppy mess - The best ones start from some base or consolidation, not from the middle of nowhere Maybe I’m wrong, but most traders obsess over patterns and ignore the obvious: where the market actually made a decision. That one candle is like a footprint of the big players. Why not trace it? Final thought: The market always remembers its decision levels. It might ignore them once, twice, but when you see price come back and react sharply from your impulse zone – that’s where the “random” market suddenly starts looking very logical.
