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.

Structured intraday bias

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