I am looking for a study that will be able to spot fast price moves (impulse moves) over a specifically low period of time.

For example I want to know if ES moves 10 points in 1 minute or perhaps 5 points in 20 seconds. Is there a study that would do something like put a line through the candle or multiple candles for the said price move? I would use this on a 10 Range Bar in Ticks chart or a very low time frame chart. Is there a study that can be configured for what I described? If this exact thing I'm describing does not exist. Is there a study similar that would do the same or similar?

Use Number of Trades Per Bar as Bar Period Type and Bar Time Duration Study. This will provide the information you are looking for.

Create a 1 min (or 20 sec, etc) chart and create an alert condition when the low + high are greater than a certain number of ticks. Use Color Background or another suitable draw type. Overlay that onto your range/tick chart.
