Impulse candle

A candle with an unusually large body.

A single candle with a body clearly larger than usual — the impulse itself, not what it leaves behind. The body is measured; wicks do not count.

There is no end: "this candle was an impulse" is an event, not a lasting zone.

Names

Neutral: Impulse candle / Impulskerze. ICT keeps the English term Displacement.

Settings

Minimum body is a fraction of close (default 0.0012). Raise it to keep only stronger impulses.
