IB First Hour (NY Session) – With Quartiles & Expansions

This indicator automatically plots the Initial Balance (IB) of the New York session (8:30–9:30am CT) and extends those levels through the regular session (ending 3:00pm CT).

It is built for structured session-based traders who use the first hour to frame daily bias, targets, and expansion potential.

0.5x

1.0x

Update in real time during the first hour

Extend through the session

Instead of guessing targets, expansions are calculated directly from the first-hour range.
