A 113-second walkthrough of Impulse Waves & Reversal Zones — the free, open-source TradingView overlay that scores every price leg 0-100 (efficiency + displacement) before drawing anything, so only legs that qualify as an impulse get a reversal zone with extension targets and a stop already labeled.

Key takeaways
- Every price leg gets an Impulse Quality Score from zero to one hundred — half efficiency, half how far it moved relative to its own recent history. Only legs that clear the threshold get a reversal zone; the score itself is never printed on the chart, it’s the internal gate.
- The zone anchors on the 0.382-0.618 retracement with two extension targets (×1.272, ×1.618) and a stop with the risk-to-reward already labeled. A live status tracks each setup — wait for the zone, target hit, or stopped — and once a setup resolves, its zone greys out and retires instead of lingering as if it were still active.
- Trend direction is tracked by a protected-swing state machine, not a naive zigzag: it only flips when price breaks the swing that launched the prior impulse, so a shallow pullback stays labeled a correction (measured against its impulse) and the trend read stays intact.
- A side panel reads higher timeframes for bias and strength, condenses them into an alignment row and a plain-language plan line, and only calls the market aligned when the timeframes actually agree.
