█ OVERVIEW
The Initial Balance Indicator is a powerful trading tool that indicates a strong range based on the high and low of the first hour after market open. This range serves as a potential area of Support or Resistance that traders should be aware of during their trading. Because of this, the Initial Balance Indicator is a versatile trading tool that can be included in a wide variety of trading strategies.
The aim of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by automatically identifying and displaying price levels that they should be aware of.
█ USAGE
When the New York Market opens each day, the script will automatically identify and label the opening range of the first hour of the trading day in real time.
Because there tends to be a spike in volume during this period, the range that is identified can serve as a powerful indication of overall market strength. Once the price breaks out of this range, it then can be used as an area of support or resistance depending on the direction of the breakout.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Display Mode: Determines the number of days that the script should load.
• Show Labels: Determines whether identifying labels are drawn on the chart as well.
• Initial Balance Color: Determines the color of the range and labels that are drawn by the indicator.
• Extension Levels: Determines the number of extension levels that should be drawn on either side of the range. These levels are drawn at an interval of half the width of the Initial Balance range.
• Extension Levels Color: Determines the color of the extension level lines.
