Key Features:
- Dynamic IB Visualization: Automatically plots the High, Mid (50%), and Low levels of the initial range.
- Historical Data Toggle: A unique option to switch between viewing only the current day's IB (clean chart) or keeping the history for backtesting and previous session analysis.
- Fibonacci Projections: Includes customizable extension levels (defaulted at 1.5x and 2.0x) to identify take-profit targets after a breakout.
- Range Shading (Box): Visually identifies the "balance zone" with adjustable shading between IB High and IB Low for better price action context.
- Integrated Alert System: Ready-to-use alerts for IB High/Low breakouts and when the price reaches specific projection targets.
How to Use:
