Weekly 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.
