The Deepcharts Session Imbalance indicator allows you to highlight the high (Initial Balance High), the low (Initial Balance Low) and the midpoint (Initial Balance Mid Point) of the first hour of trading or any other user-defined period. It also allows the 50% and 100% extensions of the imbalance range at the top and bottom to be plotted in the graph.
