What does IBFib Pro add over the Lite edition?
The Lite edition plots the Initial Balance box with a 50% midline and fixed extension lines at 0.5R, 1.0R, and 1.618R. IBFib Pro projects the full Fibonacci set — retracements and extensions at 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, and 1.618 — and is session-aware, so you can switch between APAC, London, and NYSE sessions or run several at once instead of a single anchored session. Pro also plots the Initial Balance automatically the moment it completes, and its licence follows your NinjaTrader login rather than a specific machine.
What does Initial Balance with Fibs plot?
It auto-plots the Initial Balance box for the first N minutes of the session (60 by default), an optional 50% midline for mean-reversion cues, and fixed extension lines at 0.5R, 1.0R, and 1.618R above and below the range for quick targets. Levels can extend to the end of the session so they stay visible all day.
Can I change where the Initial Balance starts?
Yes. You can anchor the Initial Balance to the session open, to an offset in minutes, or to a fixed clock time such as 09:30, and align it to either a calendar day or the chart’s session template.
Does it work on prop-firm evaluation and funded accounts?
Yes. BadBuddha tools run locally inside your NinjaTrader 8 platform and work the same on sim, evaluation, and funded accounts regardless of broker or prop firm.
How do updates work?
Every BadBuddha tool ships with a built-in update checker — when a new version is released, NinjaTrader lets you know, and the download on this page always serves the current build.
