Volume heatmaps are everywhere right now, but almost all of them show the same thing: intensity only, one colour, no sense of whether that volume was buying or selling. Impulse Heatmap adds the missing piece — every price zone is colour-blended by direction, not just density, so you can tell accumulation from distribution at a glance.

What it analyses: tick volume across a rolling lookback window, distributed into price bins the same way a standard volume profile works — except each bin's colour is a blend of how much of that volume came from bullish-closing candles versus bearish-closing candles at that price. A zone that's mostly bullish volume glows green (accumulation); a zone that's mostly bearish volume glows red (distribution); mixed zones sit somewhere in between.

How to read it:

• Bright, saturated zones = high volume concentration — these are the price levels the market has spent the most time and size at.
• Green-tinted zones = that price level built up mostly on bullish pressure — a potential support/accumulation area.
• Red-tinted zones = that price level built up mostly on bearish pressure — a potential resistance/distribution area.
• The gold POC line tracks the smoothed centre of gravity of volume — where the real "fair value" magnet currently sits, without the jumpiness of a raw point-of-control calculation.
• The white trend filter EMA gives you context: is the current heat zone backing the prevailing trend, or fighting it?
• A live HUD panel tells you the trend state and exactly how far price is from the POC in pips.

Key settings: lookback window length, number of price bins (resolution), POC smoothing, trend filter EMA period, and full colour customisation for both the bullish/bearish blend and the POC line.

Typical use cases: spotting whether a support/resistance zone was built on genuine buying or selling pressure rather than just raw volume; using POC as a dynamic fair-value magnet; confirming whether volume at the current level agrees with or contradicts the prevailing trend; combining with your own entry model as a volume-context filter.

Best suited for: intraday traders on forex majors, gold, and indices who want more than a flat volume bar or a single-colour heatmap — useful as a standalone read or as confluence alongside structure-based setups.
