IB Break Statistics

IB Break Statistics
Tracks the behavior of the Initial Balance (IB) — the price range formed in the first hour of
the session — across the last N trading days.
Sections:
Break Type — how often the session ends with no break, a single-sided break (high or low only),
or a double break (both sides).
Day of Week — break frequency broken down by weekday, to identify which days tend to trend vs.
range.
Extension after break — of the days that broke, how far price traveled beyond the IB level,
expressed as a multiple of the IB range (e.g. 0.5× IB). Useful for calibrating take-profit
targets.
Retrace after break — on single-break days, how far price pulled back toward the IB after the
break. Bucketed as shallow (≤10%), entry zone (11–25%), deep (26–50%), or back inside IB (>50%).
Useful for calibrating retrace entries and stop placement.
IB Size — the daily IB range expressed as a percentage of the session's mid-price. Bucketed as
narrow (<0.3%), normal (0.3–0.7%), wide (0.7–1.0%), and very wide (>1.0%). Useful for
understanding the typical volatility regime and filtering setups by IB size.
Settings: configure IB window (default 9:30–10:30 NY), lookback period, and tracking end time.
