Know your edge before you trade.
This indicator automatically plots the Initial Balance (8:30–9:30 EST) session each day and projects Fibonacci extensions above and below it — then tells you statistically how often price reaches each 100% extension based on your own historical data.
🔹 What is the Initial Balance?
The Initial Balance is the high and low formed in the first hour of the New York session (8:30–9:30 EST). Professional traders use it as a reference range to anticipate breakout targets, mean reversion levels, and intraday structure. The Fibonacci extensions project where price is likely to travel if it breaks out of the IB range.
