What is Initial Balance?

Initial Balance (IB) is a Market Profile concept representing the high and low price range during the first period of a trading session. We calculate both 1-hour and 15-minute IB levels to identify key support and resistance zones.

How It Works

Select your futures contracts (ES, NQ, GC, CL, etc.), choose a date range, and pick your trading session (Asia, London, or New York). We fetch real market data from Yahoo Finance and automatically calculate IB levels with interactive charts and exportable tables.
