Weekly Initial BalanceWeekly Initial Balance Indicator
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders to identify key support and resistance levels based on the market's initial activity at the start of each week. By analyzing the first 30 hours of trading.
Key Features:
Customizable IB Period: Define the start hour and duration of the initial balance period to suit your trading schedule and the specific market you are analyzing, I have it set at 30 hours by default.
IB High, Low, and Midpoint Levels: Automatically plots the high, low, and midpoint of the IB period, providing immediate visual reference to critical price levels.
Extension Levels: Calculate and display extension levels based on customizable percentages (e.g., 50%, 100%, 150%), allowing you to project potential breakout targets and identify areas of interest beyond the initial balance range.
Dynamic Lines and Labels: The indicator updates in real-time, extending lines and repositioning labels as new bars form, ensuring you always have the most current information.
Customizable Appearance: Adjust line styles, widths, colors, and label positions to match your charting preferences and improve visual clarity.
How to Use:
Set the IB Parameters:
Week Start Hour (UTC): Specify the hour when the weekly IB period begins. I use 1800EST as that is when the futures market opens.
IB Duration in Hours: Define how many hours constitute the IB period.
Configure Extension Levels:
Input the desired extension percentages to calculate levels beyond the IB range.
Customize Visual Settings:
Adjust line colors, styles, widths, and label offsets to tailor the indicator's appearance.
Interpret the Levels:
Use the IB high and low as immediate support and resistance levels.
Monitor the midpoint for potential pivot areas.
Watch for price interactions with extension levels to anticipate breakouts or reversals.
Benefits:
Identify Key Weekly Levels: Understand the market's initial sentiment each week to gauge potential trends.
Enhance Trading Strategies: Incorporate the IB levels into your trading plan for better entry and exit points.
Adaptable to Various Markets: Suitable for Forex, commodities, indices, and other markets where weekly analysis is beneficial.

Terminology
RTH (Regular Trading Hours): Represents the New York session from 09:30 to 17:00 EST.
ON Session (Overnight Session): Represents the trading activity from 17:00 to 09:29 EST.
IB (Initial Balance): The first hour of the New York session, from 09:30 to 10:30 EST.
Open: The opening price of the RTH session.
YH (Yesterday's High): The highest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YL (Yesterday's Low): The lowest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YC (Yesterday's Close): The daily bar close which for futures gets updated to settlement.
IBH (Initial Balance High): The highest price during the IB session.
IBL (Initial Balance Low): The lowest price during the IB session.
ONH (Overnight High): The highest price during the ON session.
ONL (Overnight Low): The lowest price during the ON session.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The volume-weighted average price that resets each day.
Why is RTH Important?
Tracking the RTH session is important because often times the overnight session can be filled with "lies". It is thought that because the overnight session is lower volume price can be pushed or "manipulated" to extremes that would not happen during higher volume times.
Why is the ON Session Important Then?
Just because the ON session can be thought as a "lie" doesn't mean it is relevant to know. For example, if price is stuck inside the ON range then you can think of the market as rotational or range-bound. If price is above the ON range then it can be thought of as bullish. If price is below the ON range then it can be thought as bearish.
What is IB?
IB or initial balance is the first hour of the New York Session. Typically the market sets the tone for the day in the first hour. This tone is similarly a map like the ON session. If we are above the IBH then it is bullish and likely a trend day to the upside. If we are below the IBL then it is bearish and likely a trend day to the downside. If we are in IB then we want to avoid conducting business in the middle of IBH and IBL to avoid getting chopped up in a range bound market.
These levels are not a holy grail
You should use this indicator as guide or map for context about the instrument you are trading. You need to combine your own technical analysis with this indicator. You want as much context confirming your trade thesis in order to enter a trade. Simply buying or selling because we are above or below a level is not recommended in any circumstance. If it were that easy I would not publish this indicator.
Adjustments
In the indicator settings you can adjust the RTH, ON, and IB session-time settings. All of the times entered must be in EST (Eastern Standard Time). You may want to do this to apply the levels to a foreign market.

RD Opening Range/Initial BalanceIntroducing the RD Opening Range/Initial Balance indicator. The opening range is the first 60 minutes of trading action for a given day (High, Mid, and Low).
The market tends to put significance in these levels, that's why we use them in our trade system.
There is also a data panel:
Today - Today's opening range value
W-Avg - This weeks average
20D CA-OH - the total number of closes above the opening range over the last 20 days (above high)
20D CA-OL - the total number of closes below the opening range over the last 20 days (below low)
* We do plan to add additional data points.
* Only the last OR has labels, we will not be adding them or an option in the future.
* Full customization in setting panel. Color of lines, background, no display of data panel and more.
How to Use
These levels act as dual magnets. They both attract price and repel price.
You use price action and rules to decipher if price is being attracted or repelled.
You will notice as you use this indicator that price respects these levels. Often when answering the 3Qs one of these levels is in play.
During the cash market these levels play a significant role in price action. Even during the Globex/Overnight session these levels are a factor.
Circle areas are examples of price reactions at OR key levels:
If you trade with the RDTS you already know how to use these levels as reaction and target zones.
For clues on which level price is being repelled or attracted I'd suggest you utilize bias and momentum indicators like the RDA.
Initial Balance vs Opening Range
Before we move on and discuss how to use this indicator I want to mention what I consider the difference between the Opening Range and the Initial Balance.
I've adopted the Opening Range verbiage for the first 60 minutes of trading even though the Opening Range is often defined as the first 15m or first 30m.
The more accurate term for the first 60m should be Initial Balance. I'm not sure exactly where this originated but I learned this term when I was heavily trading TPO-- the IB is the first 2 30m blocks of trading.
Any questions or improvements just comment below.

Initial Balance |ASE|Introduction
Initial Balance (IB) refers to the price data that is formed during the first hour of a trading session. It is an important concept in trading as it provides insights into the market's opening sentiment and potential trading opportunities or reversals for the day. There are multiple trading sessions throughout the day. The most popular, the NY Session, is open from 9:30 am to 4:00pm EST making the Initial Balance(IB) range the first hour (9:30-10:30) The other sessions include London, Tokyo, and Sydney.
IB Customization
The Initial Balance lines are fully customizable to fit the traders need.
Show Initial Balance
This setting will plot the Initial Balance
Fill/Extend IB Range
The Fill IB Range toggle fills the area in between the IB High and IB Low. Use the IB Fill Color option to change the fill color in the “Line Settings” group on the settings panel.
The Extend IB Range extends the IB lines until the market closes.
Show 1x/2x Extensions
The Show 1x Extension toggle displays 1 times the IB range line (IB High - IB Low) above IB High and 1 times the IB range line below IB Low.
The Show 2x Extension toggle displays the 2 times the IB range line (IB High - IB Low) above IB High and 2 times the IB range line below IB Low.
*Use the Extension Level Color in the “Line Settings” to change the color of the lines.
Show Middle Levels
The Show Middle Levels toggle shows all the 50% lines between the upper 2x and upper 1x line, upper 1x and IB high, IB high and IB low, IB low and lower 1x line, and the lower 1x and lower 2x line.
*Use the Mid Level Color in the “Line Settings” to change the color of the lines.
Delete Previous Day’s Levels
This setting will only show the current day's Initial Balance and delete all previous day levels to produce a clean chart.
How To Use:
The Initial Balance Range can support a bias as it shows the opening market sentiment. By watching price action interact with the Initial Balance Range we can watch for indications of trending or failing moves at the high or the low and overall a ranging or trending session.
The extension levels are projections as to where price could potentially reach in a trending market. If we are bullish and trending higher, we would want to see price reach the first extension, signs of strength at these levels can be used as confirmation to target other levels.
Overall, all these levels can and should be used as support and resistance levels, and as always, can not be used by themselves and require additional confirmation, whether that be an indicator or price action. Below you can see chart examples of these levels in action.
PZ Session SplitterSplit any 24-hour session into 3 segments to determine range statistics and midpoints. Ideal for futures traders to analyze the overnight sessions (Asia and Europe). Also great for splitting the day session into different parts (initial balance, mid-day, closing power-hour). Customize colors and names of sessions along with 50% and 25% midpoints.

Opening Range, Initial Balance, Opening PriceThis script draws Opening Range, Initial Balance and Opening Price with options to show mid levels.
By default, lines changes color depending on whether closing price is above or below the lines. Red if price is below, green if price is above.
Colors and line styles are all configurable.
Options to change label positions.
Some definitions:
Opening Range - The opening range is high and low for a given period after the market opens. This period is generally the first 30 or 60 minutes of trading
Initial Balance - WRT to TPO profile chart, the Initial Balance is the price range resulting from the market’s trade during the first two 30 minute periods of the regular trading hours session.
Why is this useful?
The first hour of the trading day is the most active and dynamic period. The price range defined by this period of trading creates some key support / resistance levels for the rest of the day. Example below:
BTMM OFJ FOR BEST RESULTS PLEASE SWITCH TO LINE CHART OR DISABLE THE CHART CANDLES. BELOW IS A LINE WITH OPACITY TURNED DOWN TO 15%
ASIA, LONDON, AND NEW YORK SESSIONS CAN BE CUSTOMIZED (1ST 3 HRS DEFAULT)

QUICK APPLICATON
iBox, Initial Balance | IB High, Low, Midpoint | OpeningThis Indicator will print basically 4 lines.
You have to understand the importance of the "Initial Balance" the first trading hour of Cash session is very important in trading stocks and indizes.
So you will get 4 lines:
Opening
Initial Balance High
Initial Balance Low
Initial Balance Midpoint/Halfback
Most indicators for Range Box, Opening Trade, Opening Range, Initial Balance, iBOX and "Ultimate Lines" will only use the timezone of the exchange or your own timezone. I'm living in europe and we have this daylight saving time change in Summer/Winter - which will cause problems with most of the existing indicators or at least will push you to change the times regularly.
Another important point: I really like to switch the indizes when trading on my mobile. So what will happen when you set up opening range for DAX at 09:00 and then switch to S&P500? All indicators I tried failed here - they will just draw a wrong line for SPX, NDX, DJI, FTSE, ASX etc. I fixed that and hard coded stock exchanges and ticker symbols into 3 main groups Initial Balance EU/US/Asia
For example we take DAX - XETRA DAX is opening at 09:00 MEZ (Europe/Berlin)
The Initial Balance is set during the H1 Candle from 09:00 - 09:59
Please be aware, that some cash indizes only deliver data to TradingView after the "opening auction" - so for Xetra DAX you have to book live data and often you will only see data at 09:02/09:03 after the opening auction.
So you will get different opening lines compared from cash to future or your CFD provider. Future and CFD should fit for 99%
The Opening Line will be drawn at exactly 09:00
IB High on the highest price during the H1 candle
IB Low on the lowest price during the H1 candle
IB Halfback is simple: (IB High + IB Low) / 2
The lines will be drawn from cash start until next day and will end 2 minutes before the next cash session will start again. Please make your own experience! Activate the indicator for a CFD or Future switch to M15 and watch the wicks around the 4 lines. Even in the night or the next morning before the next Initial Balance will be set.
For me the lines are valid for around 24 hours and often longer. That's why it's good to have the old lines on the chart too.
To-do:
Yesterday high / low / close / halfback (also for last week and month)
Labels for the lines - sometimes only the colors will confuse you - a simple label should be a benefit (IB_h, IB_l, IB_1/2, 1D_o)
Range Lines for Asia Range and Premarket Range - additionaly a parameter to disable premarket lines when premarket is trading in asia range.
Add Alert condition to get alerts after IB is set
If you have and thoughts, ideas or improvements, please send me an message or leave an comment!
Like i said, the stock exchanges and ticker symbols are hard coded and can be extended for all relevant assets.
Have fun and i really hope this indicator will help improving your trading experience!
[DisDev] Level by LevelThis indicator's main objective is to provide you with the ability to chose the levels you are interested in , with the added functions of:
Level-by-Level Chart Reducer – This allows you to choose how many levels are above and below the current closing price to display.
Level-by-Level Table – This allows you to display all the levels within a table onto the chart.
The basis of this indicator is to provide you with a toolbox of levels that you can add to your trading plans.
Psychological Levels
A weekly range established each Saturday evening that can be thought of as a weekly "IB" or initial balance.
Average Daily Range ("ADR") & Average Weekly Range ("AWR")
In Forex, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") controls the allowable weekly swings of a currency's price. The "AWR" and "ADR" perform calculations and dynamically adjust until the range is exceeded, at which time the levels will lock into place for the remainder of the day or week. The accepted theory is that price (even in Stocks and Crypto) will adhere to and remain within these levels, and, if exceeded, will revert back to them.
Initial Balance ("IB")
In Crypto trading, it is generally accepted that the High and Low of the first hour of each day (00:00 - 01:00 UTC) is the Initial Balance . The IB generally thought of as a zone that sets the tone for the rest of the trading session. It is often a time of high volume and volatility, with Stop Hunts at the highs and lows of a range before price moves in one direction or the other. The IB is a Market Profile concept introduced by Peter Steidlmayer. There is plenty of information on the Internet to learn more about IB's and how to implement them -- please do your own research.
Daily Open
Since Crypto is traded 24 hours per day, the generally accepted open is 00:00 UTC, the Tokyo open. Please refer to Part 1 for more details on sessions, starting times, conversions, and Daylight Savings Time.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP's)
VWAPs are important areas on a chart. Institutional traders generally do not want to move price too far as they enter large buy or sell orders. So they wait for price to reach a tight zone around the VWAP where the majority of transactions occur on the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly timeframes. In these areas, there will be plenty of supply and demand for the institutional trader to execute their trades.
Weekly Open
The weekly open is Monday at 00:00 UTC.
Pivot Points (Support & Resistance)
This indicator calculates pivot levels based on a tested formula that calculates past and subsequent bars or candles. It displays the two closest to price pivot levels. The pivot formula takes a window of left bars and right bars, and then finds the highest or lowest value in that window. The window marches across the bar-set to discover the pivots.
We coded the script to label the levels and colors dynamically, either Support (Green) or Resistance (Red), depending on whether they are above or below price. The primary level line stays with the same color scheme:
Blue = Daily / Yellow = Weekly / Violet = Monthly
As price crosses the level:
1 - The label will switch from Support to Resistance and Resistance to Support
2 - The extender line will switch from Green to Red and Red to Green
3 - The same changes will take place in the Level-by-Level Coordinates Table
A Note on Levels and Data
Understanding How Data is Calculated and Presented
Calculating levels requires going back in time through a symbol or asset’s historical data. Time is measured by bars (candles), so depending on the chart's resolution (timeframe or TF) you are viewing, a different number of bars would be required to measure the same level.
For example, if we want to mark the Daily High and Low on the daily TF, we would be measuring 1 bar or candle. If we drop down to the 1-hour TF, we would need to measure 24 bars. For the 15-Minute TF it would be 96 bars (1hr/15min=4 bars per/hour and 4 x 24 = 96), and on the 1-Min TF, it requires 1,440 bars (1hr=60 Min and 6 x 24 = 1,440).
Hopefully, you get the idea and can see that the number of bars required increases exponentially as we move to weekly, monthly, and yearly levels.
TradingView Data
Please note this statement from TradingView's website:
"The length of historical data for any intraday interval (i.e. chart timeframe) is 5,000 bars/candles (for Pro and Pro+ account holders it is doubled to 10,000 bars/candles and for Premium holders it's quadrupled to 20,000) + additionally several bars/candles back to the beginning of the week, month or year (depending on the resolution). Unfortunately, this limit cannot be extended for now due to technical reasons. At lower resolutions (<30Min) Yearly and Monthly VWAPs may not show, but to overcome this issue the “Plot Save” function has been added to the settings to allow the user to manually input these levels. This concept is the same for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly pivots.
If you change the chart interval to daily or daily-based, you will see a longer date range. We display all available data for daily-based intervals."
How we Handled Data Limitations
The Plot Level Feature in the Level by Level Indicator
We have written this script to always show levels at the lowest time frame allowable by TradingView.
If you do not see specific Support or Resistance levels, switch to a higher time frame, enter the corresponding values in the provided fields on the input panel, and check the Plot box. This will hard code the level in and will print on any TF. Additionally, we coded it so that when the Plot feature is enacted, the calculated level will be disabled so that there are no overlaps of two levels being printed.
Legend
The logic behind the line styles:
Solid = Static or established
Dashed = Static but previous week or day
Dotted = Dynamic or still developing -- will turn solid once the values are locked in
*VWAPs would technically be a dotted line since they are fluid, however, TV does not handle the dots or dashes of a curved line well so we chose to keep this solid
Level-by-Level Table
We designed this table to provide the user with a view of the levels in the correct price sequence on the chart at all times since, depending on the resolution and zoom levels, it would typically not be possible. The levels are equidistant and do not align with the actual price.
The current price will move vertically through the table according to the actual price and its relative position to the other various levels. The levels will change price and line styles dynamically as well.
The current price rectangle and the border can be in sync with High Volume Candle colors to draw more attention to the chart during climatic volume events.
Settings & Options - Levels & Labels
Levels will show a faint line through price to the point of origin.
Labels will show a brighter line extended to the right of price.
The values (10, 20, 30) are the length of the extensions; they are staggered to avoid overlaps.
Settings & Options - Level Reducer
The Level Reducer gives you the ability to declutter your chart, but still have the indicator track all the selected levels.
With four Lines selected, for example, the indicator will give you the nearest four lines above price and the nearest four below price. The Table runs independently of the chart, so if you want to see eight levels as an example, the Table will show eight above and eight below price.
As the current price changes, the lines will dynamically change accordingly.
[DisDev] Market Maker | Sessions | Initial Balance | Range StatsThis indicator has two main components: Time-Specific Sessions and High/Low Statistics . There are also several subcomponents: Day of Week Separators, Specific Session High/Low Extenders, Day Range Statistics, Week Range Statistics, User Input Session Titles, etc.
Each component is explained and demonstrated how it could be utilized as a trading tool.
The basis of this indicator is to analyze session-specific price movements through automatic display and statistics.
Key:
Dotted lines = Developing Session
Solid Line = Session complete
Dashed lines = Past Session
1) The primary function is the five manual time-session inputs. These sessions could be based on a full market period, such as London Open to Close (0800 UTC to 1630 UTC), the Initial Balance of the day (0000 UTC to 0100 UTC), or a session Initial Balance New York (1430 UTC to 1530 UTC). The user can update settings input text to reflect this on the chart.
The following shows the example noted above, with the added subcomponents of:
• Shaded areas to define each session
• Extension of the Sessions highs and lows (extension 24/48/72-hour options)
• Future line projection (provides a reminder of when the market opens)
This allows you to see potential levels of resistance and support and market open volatility.
The below example shows the input sessions configured for five Session Initial Balances. You can see that the Sessions Initial Balances were in a tight price range. A range breakout occurred with price move of $1400 visualized.
2) The secondary function is the Range statistics. Range statistics can be used to track the volatility of each session, day or week and can be selected for up to 31 days. This helps the user to determine overbought or oversold conditions as well as pattern recognition.
Trade Example 1
Settings: New York Session Open to Session Close.
The colored boxes are manually drawn to emphasize how the New York Lows and Highs can act as a confluence for support and resistance areas.
Trade Example 2a
Settings: London Session Open to Session Close and New York Session Open to Session Close.
This chart shows how the Session Open (in this case, the New York Open) reminder notifies you that there could be volatility when a new session opens.
Trade Example 2b
Notice how price breaks to the upside at the opening of the New York session. In this instance it was a $2,250 or 5.17% increase in the opening hour.
3. Once London closes New York has control of the market; one push-up stops out the shorts that placed stop losses at the London high, then brings price back down to the mean.
By having the reminder lines and shaded sessions, the user is prepared and can anticipate some price reaction, often a reversal if price has been steadily moving in one direction.
IB + ExtensionsInitial Balance with Extensions.
Other traders have posted similar indicators. I wrote my own because I wanted additional features.
Features:
Supports up to 9 extensions. Default = 3.
Each extension is filled using an automatic gradient. Fill can be disabled if you like.
IB levels extend into the future to the end of the current session.
By default only the current IB levels are shown, but you can enable past IB's as well.
When showing past IB's, each session has a clean break - no awkward lines connecting one session to the other (this really annoyed me about other IB indicators!)
The IB midpoint is also supported. It is on by default, but can be disabled.
You may notice the midpoint of past IB's looks different than the current IB . There is a technical reason for this that I won't go into here. Ask if you want the full explanation.
NOTE: This indicator was designed for the crypto charts. It may have some rendering issues when used with other markets.

Thank You
Koalafied Initial Balance Levels and ExtensionsShows the Initial Balance and range extensions for either the Daily session or individual market sessions (Asia, London, New York).
Initial Balance is the range represented by the first two segments (typically half-hour segments) of a trading session. Range extensions are a function of the longer-term trader participation, pushing price outside of the beginning 'fair' range established by the local traders. With the introduction of 24/7 markets the initial balance is often now regarded as less important than in the past, however re-calculating IB for multiple trading sessions may reinstitute insight to Market Direction and Confidence
Single Prints - Session Initial BalancesDisclaimer: Expose yourself to the knowledge of different trading methods. If you are unaware of what a Single Print is then do some research and broaden your knowledge.
This indicator has only been tested on BTCUSDT Binance pair. This indicator is meant to be used on the 30 minute timeframe to highlight Single Prints.
The calculations are base on 0000 UTC and what Single Prints are created during that day.
Single Prints
Single Prints are where prices moves to fast through an area (on a 30 minute timeframe), in the case of this indicator in $50 intervals, where the price has not yet cross back past, represented as orange lines. If you were viewing this on a Time Price Opportunity Chart (TPO) each $50 would be represented as a square with a letter in it. If price has only been through that area once, within that 24 hour period, then it is called a Single Print. If however the Single Print is on the lower wick of the candle it is called a Buying Tail and on the Upper Wick a Selling Tail.
Single Prints leave low volume nodes with liquidity gaps, these inefficient moves tend to get filled, and we can seek trading opportunities once they get filled, or we can also enter before they get filled and use these single prints as targets.
Single Prints are a sign of emotional buying or selling as very little time was spent at those levels and thus there is no value there.
The endpoints of single print sections are considered to be potential support or resistance points and or get filled (like a CME gap).
The above is only a very short summary, to understand Single Prints, Buying Tails and Selling Tails more please do your own research (DYOR).

Initial Balance
The Initial Balance is the market range between the high and low of the first hour of trading for the market. In the case of crypto when is the Initial Balance if it is 24/7.
Context of Initial Balance:
The Initial Balance is traditionally the range of prices transacted in the first hour of trade. Many regard the Initial Balance as a significant range because, especially for the index futures which are tied to the underlying stocks, orders entered overnight or before the open are typically executed prior to the end of the first hour of trade. Some use it to understand how the rest of the day may develop, while others use it as a span of time to avoid trading altogether because of its potential volatility.
For this indicator I have coded the Initial Balance time as below:
White Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 0000 to 0100 UTC .
Purple Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 0130 to 0230 UTC .
Yellow Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 0700 to 0800 UTC .
Blue Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 1330 to 1430 UTC .
Red Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 2000 to 2100 UTC .
The diagram above shows some examples:
How price (white arrows) retraces the single prints.
How price (red arrows) uses the single prints as S/R.
