Summary

AI summary
Initial Balance is a technical indicator designed to track opening range structures across various timeframes, from intraday sessions to yearly cycles.

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.
