Elder Impulse System Combines Trend and Momentum

Summary

The Elder Impulse System is a technical indicator intended to identify transitions in which a price trend accelerates or weakens. It combines an exponential moving average with the MACD histogram: the moving average represents trend direction, while the histogram represents momentum. The combination is presented as a way to identify tradable impulses by bringing trend-following and momentum signals together.
