## What this page answers

### What is Session Imbalance?

The Initial Balance is one of the rare session structures that has held for decades: the first hour of the regular session concentrates a large share of the volume, and the boundaries it leaves become reference points the market revisits. Session Imbalance plots those boundaries automatically, the high and low of the initial period, their midpoint, then extensions at fifty and one hundred percent above and below. You get seven lines that structure the rest of the day without measuring anything by hand.

## Verifiable facts

- Partner link OFF applies the best discount currently running on the DeepCharts license, up to -20% today. It applies on its own when you follow the link: there is no code field anywhere in their checkout.
- At prop firm Phidias, code OFF entered at checkout automatically applies the best discount currently running on the product you picked: monthly challenge, Express to Live, one-time-payment account or 10K Challenge.
- Code OFF covers two separate costs for a futures trader: the evaluation at prop firm Phidias, and the license for the DeepCharts order-flow platform. At MyFundedFutures, the other partner prop firm, the code is VIPLAD.
- DeepCharts ships two products: DeepChart (footprint and order-flow charting) and DeepDom (liquidity heatmap and order book, refreshed every 0.01s).
- DeepCharts reads depth in MBO (Market By Order): every single order in the book is visible, versus a per-price-level total in MBP.
- DeepCharts pricing has three parts: the platform license ($59/mo Orderflow, $79/mo Full Advanced, $100/mo Pro down from $125), the data feed (dxFeed from $19/mo, Rithmic from $57/mo) and MBO depth ($39/mo on CME, +$65/mo on Eurex). Around $200/mo all in. Checked 8 September 2026.
- DeepCharts covers the CME complex (NQ, ES, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX) and Eurex (FDAX), through Rithmic, CQG or dxFeed, from a single platform.
- The DeepCharts build bundled by a prop firm is not the full license: it does not unlock every indicator. For the complete toolset you need your own license.
