Initial Balance Wave Map

📊 Initial Balance Wave Map – Powered by VWAP Wave
The Initial Balance Wave Map is your visual roadmap for navigating the first hour of trading like a pro. Built to align with the VWAP Wave System, this indicator automatically plots the Initial Balance (IB) high and low, calculates real-time IB extensions, and layers in key midpoints and volume-based structure to map out high-probability zones for both reversals and breakouts. This upgraded indicator builds upon the open-source foundation by noop-noop, with enhancements and user-facing labels tailored for Auction Market Theory, scalping, and structure-based trade setups.
🔍 Key Features:
✅ Automatically plots IB High/Low based on session times (customizable)
🔁 Displays +1x / +2x IB extensions and midpoints for precision targeting
📐 Integrated with VWAP Wave strategy: use with deviation bands for full context
🎯 Works across futures, forex, and crypto — universal structure map
🎨 Optional visual highlights for calculation window and labeling
💡 How to Use:
Fade setups: Look for price rejection at ±1x or ±2x IB extensions inside a balanced market.
Breakout setups: Combine IB breaks with VWAP Wave price discovery for high-momentum plays.
Return to value: When price rejects extension levels and rotates, target the IB midpoint or VWAP.
Whether you’re scalping futures like NQ & ES, swinging gold, or analyzing forex pairs, the Initial Balance Wave Map gives you the structural clarity to react instead of guess.
