Stop guessing.
Start trading on data and probabilities.
In a few seconds you see how the market has historically behaved in similar situations.
16 years of history, 2010 to 2026. The deepest Initial Balance dataset you can get your hands on.
Everyone sees the chart. Only those who work with the data see the context.

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.
See how it works
