# Session Opening

### The Opening Range Strategy <a href="#user-content--the-opening-range-strategy" id="user-content--the-opening-range-strategy"></a>

The opening minutes of a major financial center (like London or New York) set the tone for the entire session. The **Initial Balance** or **Opening Range** is often used by traders to define the day's bias.

This tool automatically highlights this critical period and draws the key reference levels for you.

### Key Levels <a href="#user-content--key-levels" id="user-content--key-levels"></a>

We visualize the "Battlefield" of the opening session:

* **Session High**: The highest price reached during the opening minutes.
  * *Usage*: Often acts as intraday resistance. A clean break above this can signal a "Trend Day" upwards.
* **Session Low**: The lowest price reached during the opening minutes.
  * *Usage*: Often acts as intraday support. A clean break below this can signal a "Trend Day" downwards.
* **Session Mid**: The average price of the opening range.
  * *Usage*: Acts as a "Fair Value" reference. If price is above, bulls are in control. If below, bears are in control.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/toolkits/interbank-price-action-tm/session-opening.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
