# Velocity Pulse
✦/❖ markers show up only when volatility wakes up. In quiet markets they stay hidden. In charged markets they appear near the stripes so you immediately connect *trend* with *energy*.
### **Why you care**
* Trend signals with a Pulse often travel farther—but risks and drawdowns expand. Use appropriate size and room.
* Fade attempts during a Pulse demand better location (edges, timing triggers) or smaller size. Think partials and faster accountability.
### **Workflow**
* Outer‑zone push + active stripe + Pulse → caution on early fades; look for pullbacks in the direction of pressure.
* Re‑entry + fading stripe + no Pulse → more forgiving for mean‑reversion; tighten targets at structure.
### **Quiet regimes**
When Pulse is absent for long stretches, expect range behavior. In that environment, re‑entries and participation flips carry more weight.
