Product Description
Initial Balance was conceptualised by Peter Steidlmayer, as part of Market Profile® and introduced within the Chicago Board of Trade in the mid to late 1980s. Initial balance is defined as the price range established during the first hour of trading in the RTH session (Regular Trading Hours).
Chart Spots has backtested and confirmed statistical edges(*) which provide trading setups, based on the Initial Balance. This NinjaTrader 8 compatible indicator, draws these levels on any intra-day chart of any product (Futures, Stocks, ETFs, Forex, …).
As a bonus, this indicator can also plot other important intra-day price levels. The Session and Day Mid are price levels which also provide backtested statistical edges.
All this combined will simplify your trading decisions and relieve you from the boring and distracting task of keeping track of the changes in these price levels throughout the day. Having the right information present when the time comes to enter or manage a trade, is key to maintaining your peace of mind!
Even though we have backtested Initial Balance and Mid price significance, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Please carefully review our Disclaimer below.
The levels can be plotted on any NinjaTrader 8 Chart that shows intraday data only.
