Why the first hour?

The first 60 minutes often set the character of the entire trading day.

Yet most traders enter the market without historical context, relying mostly on intuition.

IB Lab compares today's situation against more than 16 years of history and shows you in seconds how similar days most often played out.

Instead of gut feeling, you decide on data.

Ask the data.

Everyone has an opinion.

IB Lab shows historical data instead of opinions.

Pick an instrument and a day of the week, and in a few seconds you see how similar situations played out in the past.

Data give the market context.

The greyed-out days are in the app. This is a sample.

One thing, in depth.

Most tools try to analyze everything.

We decided to analyze one thing truly in depth.

The Initial Balance.

16 years of history.More than 4,000 trading days.Millions of datapoints.

Because the first hour often decides the rest of the trading day.

What our users say

No more guessing, hard data takes over. IB Lab changed my approach from the ground up, I used to rely on intuition and static technical indicators. Thanks to IB Lab I understood that trading is pure statistics and working with liquidity. I learned to read market structure through exact metrics and gained confidence in my trading. I can warmly recommend IB Lab to anyone who is serious about it and wants to make a living from trading.

What surprised me most is what interesting results IB really has on the data. After that I passed the eval in 5 days and made over 1,200 USD on the funded account the same day. I would definitely recommend IB Lab to anyone who wants to build their trades on data and not just on feel.

IB Lab changed how I look at trading... thanks to the data I became far more aware that some situations carry specific probabilities and repeating behavior.
Vojtaanoo · Discord
IB Lab completely changed my view of trading. I used to rely on intuition, thanks to historical data I now verify what actually has a long-term statistical edge.
Trader-Patrick · Discord
IB Lab was a turning point in how I approach trading. I used to decide mostly by feel, now I lean on historical data. The biggest gain I see is discipline, I stopped making emotional decisions. Thanks to that I have far more confidence in my trading and the result is more profitable trades. I would recommend IB Lab to anyone who wants to build trading on a system with probability, not on gambling.
Jaroslav D. · Discord
The biggest advantage of the program for me is the precision of the IB levels and how much it simplifies the daily market analysis... I can spend more time on price action and on the quality of the setup.

IB Lab brings a system into my trading. I am only starting to work with it, but I keep finding out more and more what a great aid it is. Until now I was just gambling and trying different strategies, I burned an unbelievable number of accounts because I had complete chaos in it. It is a tool I can recommend to anyone looking for a system in trading.
Chosé · Discord
IB Lab helped me most with organizing my trades and taught me to be far more patient. When I am running late or do not see a good entry, I would rather wait than take random trades. I no longer feel the need to trade at any cost, I would rather wait for the right opportunity.

For me this is an absolute blast, I have never found anything like it. Precise entries and exits from trades taught me the discipline I used to neglect. I have firm faith in this system. Thanks coach for the great work you and your team put into IB Lab.
Ladislav · Discord
IB Lab gives me a very positive feeling so far. Thanks to the data I have a much better picture of how the market behaves and which scenarios are more likely. I stopped relying on emotion and I feel more certain when I decide. I am still at the very beginning, but I can already see that working with data helps me be more disciplined and make more considered decisions.

The IB strategy is a successful strategy on its own. IB Lab helps us sharpen our entries, so I set smaller stops and get bigger targets. I believe that with IB Lab we will be hitting payouts more often. And the IB Lab mentor explains everything right away and is helpful. Thank you for IB Lab.

IB Lab helps me find the right level to enter. Personally, a very useful aid.

I am still only learning the ropes, but IB Lab is starting to make it all click for me. I admit it, I am still a complete amateur, but all the videos and everything else help me enormously. Thank you very much.
