A New IB Timeframe: How to Trade the 2-3pm Initial Balance on NQ | 83% Breakout Stats + More

Everyone trades the 9:30-10:30 initial balance. Almost nobody looks at the afternoon. In this video I walk through a 2-3pm initial balance measured against a 2-4pm session — a brand new IB timeframe I found inside the edgeful reports. Over the last 6 months (124 sessions), 83% of days produced a single break, and only 12 sessions reversed to take out both sides. That's a very different distribution than the morning IB, and it changes how you should be positioning into the close. I'll show you the full setup end to end: How to add a second IB indicator on TradingView and retime it to 2-3pm How to build a custom 2-4pm session inside edgeful (start 1400, end 1600) The difference between IB time and session time — this trips people up Why breaks outside the session window don't count Reading single break / double break / no break and trading the continuation Using IB by rejection to figure out which side is more likely to break Using IB by levels to set realistic targets (89% tag -0.1, 70% tag -0.2) Why you should always check the sample size in the data table before acting on a stat — one of the readings in this video only has 4 occurrences. The IB indicator and every report shown here are included in your edgeful plan.
