Weekly Initial BalanceThis indicator marks the Weekly Initial Balance — the price range established during the first two trading days of the week — and projects extension levels for the remainder of the week.
The idea behind it
Monday sets the opening range for the week. Tuesday may extend that range — it could produce a false break, a range extension, a reversal, or an inside day. In a large majority of weeks, by the time Monday and Tuesday have traded, the high and low extremes are already in place for the rest of the week. One of these extremes will tend to hold, while the other may get broken.
The default window (Sunday 18:00 – Tuesday 16:00 New York time) captures exactly this: the full Monday session plus Tuesday's contribution. Once the IB window closes, the remaining days of the week tend to trade in relation to these established levels.
What makes this different
Most Initial Balance indicators focus on the first 30 or 60 minutes of a single session. This indicator applies the IB concept to the weekly timeframe — capturing the Mon-Tue range that statistically defines the week's extremes. The configurable window, range extension multipliers, and clean label handling (current week only) make it a practical tool rather than a theoretical overlay.
How it works
- A shaded box marks the IB range (high and low) as it forms during the configured window
- After the window closes, the IB high, low, and 50% midpoint extend as horizontal reference levels
- Configurable range extensions (default 0.5x and 1.0x of the IB range) project above and below as potential targets
- Price labels display the exact level at each line (current week only — historical weeks show clean lines without clutter)
How to use it
- **Which side holds?** After the IB window closes, one extreme tends to hold for the week while the other gets broken — watch for which side price tests and rejects first
- **Range extensions as targets:** When the IB high or low breaks, the 0.5x and 1.0x extensions provide measured-move targets
- **Inside weeks:** If price stays within the IB range through Friday, the 50% midpoint often acts as a magnet
- **Volatility read:** A wide Monday–Tuesday range suggests the week's extremes may already be set; a narrow range suggests expansion is still ahead
- **Alerts:** Built-in alerts fire when price breaks the IB high or low after the window closes
Settings
- Fully configurable start/end day, hour, and minute (New York time)
- Adjustable number of historical weeks to display
- Configurable extension multipliers (not limited to 0.5x and 1.0x)
- Toggle individual levels, labels, and extensions on/off
- Works on any instrument with sufficient intraweek data (futures, forex, crypto)
Recommended timeframes: 30min and 1H charts for best visual clarity. Intraday only — the indicator requires sufficient chart history to display the configured number of weeks.

Monday_Weekly_Range/ErkOzi/Deviation Level/V1"Hello, first of all, I believe that the most important levels to look at are the weekly Fibonacci levels. I have planned an indicator that automatically calculates this. It models a range based on the weekly opening, high, and low prices, which is well-detailed and clear in my scans. I hope it will be beneficial for everyone.
***The logic of the Monday_Weekly_Range indicator is to analyze the weekly price movement based on the trading range formed on Mondays. Here are the detailed logic, calculation, strategy, and components of the indicator:
***Calculation of Monday Range:
The indicator calculates the highest (mondayHigh) and lowest (mondayLow) price levels formed on Mondays.
If the current bar corresponds to Monday, the values of the Monday range are updated. Otherwise, the values are assigned as "na" (undefined).
***Calculation of Monday Range Midpoint:
The midpoint of the Monday range (mondayMidRange) is calculated using the highest and lowest price levels of the Monday range.
***Fibonacci Levels:
// Calculate Fibonacci levels
fib272 = nextMondayHigh + 0.272 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib414 = nextMondayHigh + 0.414 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib500 = nextMondayHigh + 0.5 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib618 = nextMondayHigh + 0.618 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative272 = nextMondayLow - 0.272 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative414 = nextMondayLow - 0.414 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative500 = nextMondayLow - 0.5 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative618 = nextMondayLow - 0.618 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative1 = nextMondayLow - 1 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib2 = nextMondayHigh + 1 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
***Fibonacci levels are calculated using the highest and lowest price levels of the Monday range.
Common Fibonacci ratios such as 0.272, 0.414, 0.50, and 0.618 represent deviation levels of the Monday range.
Additionally, the levels are completed with -1 and +1 to determine at which level the price is within the weekly swing.
***Visualization on the Chart:
The Monday range, midpoint, Fibonacci levels, and other components are displayed on the chart using appropriate shapes and colors.
The indicator provides a visual representation of the Monday range and Fibonacci levels using lines, circles, and other graphical elements.
***Strategy and Usage:
The Monday range represents the starting point of the weekly price movement. This range plays an important role in determining weekly support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci levels are used to identify potential reaction zones and trend reversals. These levels indicate where the price may encounter support or resistance.
You can use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to conduct a more comprehensive analysis. For example, combining it with trendlines, moving averages, or oscillators can enhance the accuracy.
When making investment decisions, it is important to combine the information provided by the indicator with other analysis methods and use risk management strategies.

Nick_OS RangesUNDERSTANDING THE SCRIPT:
TIMEFRAME RESOLUTION:
* You have the option to choose Daily , Weekly , or Monthly
LOOKBACK WINDOW:
* This number represents how far back you want the data to pull from
- Example: "250" would represent the past 250 Days, Weeks, or Months depending on what is selected in the Timeframe Resolution
RANGE 1 nth (Gray lines):
* This number represents the range of the nth biggest day, week, or month in the Lookback Window
- Example: "30" would represent the range of the 30th biggest day in the past 250 days. (If the Lookback Window is "250")
RANGE 2 nth (Blue lines):
* This number represents the range of the nth biggest day, week, or month in the Lookback Window
- Example: "10" would represent the range of the 10th biggest day in the past 250 days. (If the Lookback Window is "250")
RANGE 3 nth (Pink lines):
* This number represents the range of the nth biggest day, week, or month in the Lookback Window
- Example: "3" would represent the range of the 3rd biggest day in the past 250 days. (If the Lookback Window is "250")
YELLOW LINES:
* The yellow lines are the average percentage move of the inputted number in the Lookback Window
SUGGESTED INPUTS:
FOR DAILY:
Lookback Window: 250
Range 1 nth: 30
Range 2 nth: 10
Range 3 nth: 3
FOR WEEKLY:
Lookback Window: 50
Range 1 nth: 10
Range 2 nth: 5
Range 3 nth: 2
FOR MONTHLY:
Lookback Window: 12
Range 1 nth: 3
Range 2 nth: 2
Range 3 nth: 1
TIMEFRAMES TO USE (If You Have PulseWire Premium):
Daily: 5 minute timeframe and higher (15 minute timeframe and higher for Futures)
Weekly: 15 minute timeframe and higher
Monthly: Daily timeframe and higher (Monthly still has issues)
TIMEFRAMES TO USE (If You DO NOT Have PulseWire Premium):
Daily: 15 minute timeframe and higher
Weekly: 30 minute timeframe and higher
Monthly: Daily timeframe and higher (Monthly still has issues)
IMPORTANT RELATED NOTE:
If you decide to use a higher Lookback Window, the ranges might be off and the timeframes listed above might not apply
ISSUES THAT MIGHT BE RESOLVED IN THE FUTURE
1. If it is a shortened week (No Monday or Friday), then the Weekly Ranges will show the same ranges as last week
2. Monthly ranges will change based on any timeframe used Indicator
