NQ Initial Balance

NQ Initial Balance (NQ only)
Tracks the Initial Balance (first hour of RTH, 9:30-10:30 AM ET) and provides real-time levels, quadrant analysis, and probability-based trade setups for NQ (Nasdaq) futures.
How it works: Price closes within the IB range in one of three quadrants — Upper (75-100%), Lower (0-25%), or Middle (25-75%). The quadrant determines directional bias and optimal entry levels based on backtested probabilities.
Features:
Important — NQ-specific hardcoded stats: The probability statistics displayed in the dashboard (break direction %, pullback %, target hit %) are derived from a 3-year backtest of NQ data (Jan 2023 - Dec 2025, 614 trading days).
!! These numbers do not apply to ES, YM, forex, crypto, or other instruments. If you use this on a different asset, the levels and structure will work but the probabilities shown will not be accurate for that market.
Settings: All session times, display options, colors, alert toggles, and dashboard theme are fully configurable through the indicator settings panel.
