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

IB High
IB Low
50% Midline
Optional 25% and 75% quartile levels
Optional IB Expansion Levels
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.
