Initial Balance Markets Time ZonesThe below script is based on Initial Balance.
Initial Balance is based on the highest and lowest points of Price Action (PA) within the first 60 minutes of trading. There is so much information available online, reference Initial Balance, that I have not provided a reference.
Most indicators I have seen have been solely based on UTC 0000 Initial Balance. My aim with this indicator was to be able to visualize how other time zones market openings Initial Balance affect PA.
The three market openings I chose to code in are:
London 0800 to 0900
New York 1430 to 1530
Asia 0000 to 0100
Within the script I have given the user the option to select to see with a green or red background when PA is above all zones Initial Balance high (green) or PA is below all zones Initial Balance low (red).
Alerts are also coded in, to prompt the user that PA has gone above or below as per above.
The Initial Balance high and lows also offer another form of areas of confluence.
Below are some examples of IB in action:
LTC
NULS

Trading Ideas - Chart Champions Value - Points of Interest Trading Ideas is based on having visual Points of Interest.
The indicator displays:
- dOpen : Daily Open
- dPOC: Developing Point of Control
- pdPOC : Previous Day Point of Control
- dbyPOC : Day Before Yesterday Point of Control
Initial Balance (High, low, mid points for the first hour (UTC 0000)
- IB High : Initial Balance High
- IB Mid : Initial Balance Middle
- IB Low : Initial Balance Low
Chart Champions Value ( CCV ) is based on Daniel - Chart Champions theory explained in his educational videos.
That if the previous day is a range day and price action (PA) closes:
Above the previous days Value Area High (pdVAH) then there is an 80% chance of it retracing back to previous days Value Area Low (pdVAL)
Below the previous days Value Area Low (pdVAL) then there is an 80% chance of it going back up to the previous days Value Area High (pdVAH)
The CCV check can be ticked on and off for a quick visual to see if the setup could potentially be in play (if green then CCV could be play for that day).
Settings/Configuration
The calculated Value Area (VA) can be amended.
It is recommend to change the resolution to that of your symbol. For example BTC resolution 1, XRP resolution 0.00001.
As seen below having key Points of Interest can make you think twice before going into a trade:

Any feedback will be gratefully received.
Initial Balance & extensions Custom session time and IB durationThe indicator will plot Initial Balance levels and extensions. The session start and end times are configurable depending on instrument, as well as the Initial Balance end time. The session times must be entered in the underlying instrument's timezone, for example:
ES-futures (Chicago Timezone)
Session Start: 0830
Initial Balance End: 0930
Session End: 1515
US-Stocks (New York Timezone)
Session Start: 0930
Initial Balance End: 1030
Session End: 1600
Europe Futures (Madrid Timezone)
Session Start: 0800
Initial balance End: 0900
Session End: 2200
Colors and linewidths are also customisable.
User-Inputed Time Range & FibsGreetings Traders! I have decided to release a few scripts as open-source as I'm sure others can benefit from them and perhaps make them better.(Be sure to check my Profile for the other scripts as well: www.tradingview.com).
This one is called User-Inputed Time Range & Fibs.
The idea behind this script is to record the Range Highs and Lows of a User Defined Period, and plot potential Targets based on either Fibonacci Extensions or a Multiple of the Range Size. I created this originally for use with the US Session Initial Balance(From 9:30-10:30AM EST), however it can be set to any time period.
What is Initial Balance? In simple words, Initial Balance (IB) is the price data, which are formed during the first hour of a trading session. Activity of traders forms the so-called Initial Balance at this time. This concept was introduced for the first time by Peter Steidlmayer when he presented the market profile to traders(atas.net).
The IB is monitored as a break-out area for Range Extension traders. The IB High is also seen as an area of resistance and the IB Low as an area of support until it is broken(www.mypivots.com).
As a note, depending on the Time Zone you are in, you may need to manually add or subtract from the Timed Range to match the desired Time. For example in NY Eastern Time, I have to use 8:30-9:30AM to Capture the 9:30-10-30AM IB for ES and NQ. Similarly, I must use 14:30-15:30PM to Capture the 9:30-10-30AM IB for BTC. You will need to make adjustments based on the Time Zone you are located in.
I wanted to give a Special Thanks to @PineCoders for the Custom Rounding Function from Backtesting/Trading Engine--> (), Pinecoders.com for help with Tracking the Highs/Lows--> (www.pinecoders.com), and @TradeChartist for allowing me to use some of the code for the Fibonacci Extensions from his script here--> ().

ORB - Opening Range BreakoutThis script plots the high/low of any custom session and extends it until the daily close. It does not show on the timeframe higher than the length of custom opening session by default.
The time period of opening range & the max timeframe to display it on can be adjusted from the settings.
So for eg. if want to use 5m ORB to trade, then set "ORB total time" as 5min & "Session Time" as whatever is the opening 5mins time period of ticker that are trading.
Initial Balance and extensionsHello Traders,
This script displays the Initial Balance : High and Low values based on market opening between 00h-01h am UTC.
This location can be very useful for intraday traders.
The script can also display higher and lower extensions, that can be useful for entry point, stop loss or take profit.
Enjoy!
