Opening range structure across any period—intraday sessions to yearly cycles—with Fibonacci levels and extension projections.


Marks High/Low range established during opening periods (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, or Custom Range) as reference for breakouts, mean reversion, and volatility expectations.

Eight period types with timezone-aware session detection (Sydney/Tokyo/London/NY), historical offset for multi-period comparison, optional seven Fibonacci levels (11.4% to 88.6%) inside IB range, upward/downward projections from boundaries, flexible line extension control (IB period only, current bar, or N periods forward), and precision period detection deliver comprehensive opening range analysis for traders targeting structure-based setups across all timeframes.

Precision Structural Mapping & Session Analysis. This tool provides a masterful implementation of Opening Range theory across all cycles. Its timezone-aware session detection and dual-mode logic offer surgical precision for London/NY opens. The integration of internal Fibonacci levels and external projections transforms basic ranges into a complete roadmap for breakouts. A highly optimized, essential tool for traders focused on institutional market structure and volatility zones.

Initial Balance marks the day’s opening range and works well on mid/high timeframes. Great for volatility and session-structure analysis. However, IB does not appear on lower TFs (M1-M5), limiting intraday use. With lower-TF support and breakout alerts, this tool would be excellent.
