Advanced ORB Strategy with Filters & TargetsThe Advanced ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Strategy I created is a sophisticated intraday trading system designed for TradingView, optimized for the US stock market open at 9:30 AM ET (New York time). It builds on the classic ORB concept—identifying the high (ORH) and low (ORL) of the initial market range after open and trading breakouts from those levels—while incorporating multiple layers of confirmation, risk management, and visual aids to filter out noise and capture high-probability momentum moves. This makes it more robust than basic ORB setups, aiming for higher profitability by reducing false signals and adapting to market conditions.
Core Concept
Opening Range Definition: The strategy uses the first 15 minutes (9:30–9:45 AM ET) as the primary opening range to establish ORH, ORL, and the midpoint (ORM). This window captures the initial volatility spike from overnight news, earnings, or economic data. You can optionally enable a secondary 5-minute range (9:30–9:35 AM) for added confirmation, requiring a breakout from both ranges.
Breakout Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when price closes above ORH post-range, confirmed by filters (detailed below). This signals upward momentum.
Short Entry: Mirror for closes below ORL, indicating downward pressure.
Why 9:30 AM ET?: This aligns with the NYSE/NASDAQ open, where volume surges and institutional activity often lead to trend days (sustained moves). Statistically, about 30% of days are trend days, and ORB excels here by riding the breakout.
Key Advanced Features and Filters
To elevate it from a simple breakout strategy, I integrated multi-factor validation to avoid whipsaws (false breakouts common in choppy markets):
Candle Strength Filter: Requires the breakout candle to have a body >50% of the range width and wicks < body size, ensuring strong conviction (no doji-like indecision).
Volume Confirmation: Breakout volume must exceed 1.5x the 20-period average, verifying institutional interest.
Minimum Breakout Distance: At least 0.3% beyond ORH/ORL to ignore minor wick pierces.
Trend Alignment: Price must be above a 100-period EMA for longs (or below for shorts), favoring with-trend trades.
RSI Filter: RSI(14) <70 for longs (>30 for shorts) to avoid overbought/oversold traps.
Daily Bias: Compares today's ORM to yesterday's ORH/ORL; only longs if bullish overlap, shorts if bearish, skipping neutral days.
Secondary Range Layer: If enabled, breakout must also clear the 5-min range, adding confluence.
These filters collectively reduce trade frequency (focusing on quality) while aiming for a win rate >50% and risk-reward >2:1.
Risk Management and Exits
Stop-Loss: Placed at ORL (for longs) or ORH (for shorts), buffered by 1x ATR(14) for volatility adjustment. ORM can be used for tighter stops in ranging markets.
Take-Profit Targets: Scaled exits for profitability:
Target 1: 1x range width (e.g., ORH + (ORH - ORL)).
Target Fib: 1.618x Fibonacci extension.
Target 2: 2x range width.
Suggestion: Exit 50% at Target 1, trail the rest using a session EMA or 50% range retracement invalidation.
Position Sizing: Risk 1% of account per trade based on stop distance.
Additional Exits: Close all at 4:00 PM ET (market close) or if price retraces >50% of the range. A 30-min cooldown prevents re-entries after a signal.
Visuals and Implementation on TradingView
Plots: Green ORH, red ORL, orange ORM lines; optional clouds (green upper half, red lower) for the range.
Secondary Visuals: Dashed lime/maroon lines for the 5-min range (if enabled).
Signals: Green up-triangle for long breakouts, red down-triangle for shorts.
Targets/Stops: Horizontal lines extend from signals for targets (green/blue) and stops (dashed red).
Alerts: Built-in for breakouts, integrable with TradingView notifications.
Pine Script: The code is a custom indicator (convertible to strategy for backtesting). Use on 1-5 min charts for indices like SPY/QQQ or volatile stocks. Backtest via TradingView's Strategy Tester to optimize inputs.
What Works Best with This Strategy
Complementary Indicators:
EMAs (100/200-period): For broader trend confirmation.
Volume tools (e.g., VWAP or oscillators): Enhance volume filter.
Market internals ( USI:TICK , USI:ADD ): Gauge overall sentiment.
ATR/VWAP: Dynamic stops and volatility skips (e.g., ignore narrow ranges < average ATR).
Assets: High-liquidity, volatile ones like QQQ, SPY, or futures (ES/NQ). Avoid low-volume stocks.
Timeframes: 1-5 min for entries, daily for bias.
Market Conditions: Thrives on trend days with gaps/news; skip low-volatility or holiday sessions.
Why It's a High-Profitable Strategy
ORB's edge comes from exploiting post-open volatility, where 70-80% of daily range forms in the first hour. By adding filters, it cuts false breakouts (common in 50-60% of basic ORB trades) while targeting 2-3R rewards on winners. Backtests often show 1.5-2.5 profit factor on indices, with drawdowns <10% if risked properly. Profitability stems from:
Edge in Momentum: Captures "big moves" on trend days.
Risk Control: ATR-adapted stops and scaled exits preserve capital.
Adaptability: Customizable (e.g., range duration, filters) for different markets.
Psychological Fit: Mechanical signals reduce emotion, ideal for day traders.

Opening Range BreakoutThis is an Opening Range Breakout script. It will plot the opening range high and low (green and red lines, respectively) as determined by the user input (default is a 15 min window from market open, 9:30 - 9:45 am). The time period for the breakout is also configured by a user input (default is from 9:45 am - 2:30 pm).
Alerts are sent for breakouts either above (bullish) or below (bearish) the opening range high and low. An EMA is also used for trend confirmation before sending alerts for breakouts (to avoid false signals).
A bullish breakout is determined by all of the following being true:
- The current price being above the opening range high (green line)
- The EMA trending up (ie the current value of the EMA > prior EMA value)
- The current price is > the EMA
- The EMA is > the opening range high
A bearish breakout is determined by all of the following being true:
- The current price being below the opening range low (red line)
- The EMA trending down (ie the current value of the EMA < prior EMA value)
- The current price is < the EMA
- the EMA is < the opening range low

15-Min ORB Indicator with Breakout Targets **What this indicator does:**
The 15-Min ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator helps traders spot breakout trades by automatically detecting the high and low of the first 15 minutes after a session opens. It then monitors for breakouts above or below this range and plots dynamic take-profit levels based on your chosen multipliers.
**How it works:**
You set the start time for your session (hour and minute) in the settings.
The indicator marks the high and low during the first 15 minutes after your chosen open time, drawing lines on the chart and, if enabled, labels for these levels.
If price breaks above the 15-min high, a potential long breakout is identified; if it breaks below the low, a potential short breakout is detected.
Upon a breakout, the script calculates the distance from the entry (breakout) to the opposite side of the 15-min range and uses your input multipliers to project two take-profit levels (TP1/TP2).
All lines and labels (for the range and targets) can be individually toggled on or off in the settings.
Both the 15-min range and the targets can be styled (color, line style, label position).
**How to use it:**
Add the indicator to your chart.
Set the session start hour and minute to match your instrument’s open (e.g., 9:30 for US stocks or futures).
Use the settings to customize which levels and labels are shown, their appearance, and the target expansion multiples.
When price breaks out above or below the opening range, the script will plot TP1 and TP2 lines at your chosen risk/reward multiples, and label them if desired.
You can use the visual levels for trade entries, profit taking, or alerts.
**What makes it unique and useful:** >
Unlike many basic ORB indicators, this script not only marks the opening range but also tracks breakouts, auto-plots your profit targets based on range expansion, and gives you full control over display (styles, toggles, and label positions).
The TP targets are dynamic and can be set to any multiples, adapting to your risk/reward plan and breakout style.
Everything is customizable for your own session times, instrument, or trading approach.
**Typical uses:**
Intraday traders looking for clear breakout setups around the session open.
Automated R-multiple target planning for both long and short trades.
Visualizing volatility and measuring early price expansion.
GeeksDoByte 15m & 30m ORB + Prev Day High/LowCME_MINI:NQ1!
How It Works
Opening Ranges
At 9:30 ET, the script begins tracking the high & low.
It uses two fixed sessions:
15 min from 09:30 to 09:45
30 min from 09:30 to 10:00
On the very first bar of each session it initializes the range, then continuously updates the high/low on each new intraday bar.
Dashed lines are drawn when the session opens and extended horizontally across subsequent bars.
Previous Day’s Levels
Independently, it fetches yesterday’s high and low via a daily security call.
These historic levels are plotted as simple horizontal lines for daily context.
How to Use
Breakout Entries
A close above the 15 min ORB high can signal an early breakout; a further push above the 30 min ORB high confirms extended momentum.
Conversely, breaks below the respective lows can indicate short setups.
Support & Resistance
Yesterday’s high/low often act as magnet levels. If price is near the previous high when the opening ranges break, you get a confluence zone worth watching.
Trade Management
Combine the two opening-range levels to tier your stops or scale in.
For example, you might place an initial stop below the 15 min low and a wider stop below the 30 min low.
Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur

Simple Sessions & LevelsWhat this indicator does:
This script marks out two essential types of price levels for intraday and swing traders:
The high and low of a customizable 15-minute opening range after the market/session open.
The previous day’s high, midpoint (“halfback”), and low.
How it works:
The script lets you set the session start time (hour and minute) to match your market.
It then calculates the high and low of the first 15 minutes after the session opens and plots those as solid lines.
It also plots the prior day’s high, halfback (midpoint), and low on your chart for easy reference.
Each line and each label can be toggled on or off independently in the settings for maximum customization.
Colors for each level are also fully customizable.
How to use it:
Add the script to your chart.
Set the session start hour and minute to match the open of the market or instrument you trade.
Choose which levels and labels you want displayed by using the toggles in the settings.
The indicator will automatically draw the session range and prior day levels for you.
Use these lines as reference for key support, resistance, and potential trade entry/exit points.
What makes it unique and useful:
This tool combines a flexible session opening range with classic daily reference levels in one package. You have complete control over which levels and labels are shown, making it adaptable for any trading style. It’s especially useful for day traders who want to quickly identify volatility windows and the most important price levels from the previous session.
Opening Range Breakout (15 mins Range)Take the guesswork out of your trading with the Opening Range Breakout Pro script. This tool automatically marks the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the NYSE session, then highlights the first candle to break out above or below this range—removing ambiguity from your trade entries.
The opening range is one of the most powerful concepts in day trading. By identifying the price range set during the market’s first minutes, you gain a clear framework for your trades. When price breaks out above the range, it often signals a strong bullish move; a break below signals bearish momentum. This script visually marks these moments, so you can react quickly and confidently.
Why use Opening Range Breakout Pro?
• Defined Entry and Exit Points: The script gives you clear, objective breakout levels—no more guessing when to enter a trade.
• Removes Emotional Trading: With visual cues for breakouts, you can follow a systematic approach and avoid hesitation or FOMO.
• Backtested, Time-Tested Strategy: The opening range breakout has been used by professional traders for decades to capture early trends and maximize profit potential.
• High Reward Potential: By capitalizing on the volatility and momentum of the opening session, traders often catch the best moves of the day.
• Easy to Use: Just add to your chart—no configuration needed. The script works on any NYSE stock, on a 5-minute chart.
How it works:
• Draws the opening 15-minute high and low as orange lines.
• Labels the range prices for quick reference.
• Marks the first candle to close above the range with an orange ▲, and the first to close below with an orange ▼.
Take control of your trading day, remove uncertainty, and trade with confidence—just like the pros.
Worldwide Sessions and Open Range BreakoutThis script shows when the various normal market hours for each of the major worldwide markets (Asia, New York, and London). It also draws a line on the opening range for each of these market sessions. The opening range defaults to the first 15 minutes of the session, but this can be customized.
This script does automatically handle the session times regardless of your time zone or what time frame you are on. No need to set anything! This probably can't handle non-normal trading days, such as partial days.
This script is made for futures, but would likely work for other markets, like Forex.
15Min Opening Range & Midline (UTC+2) This TradingView script draws the 15-minute Opening Range of the day based on a user-defined start time and plots the high, low, and midline of this range. It works by capturing the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the session, and then extending them for the rest of the trading day. The midline is calculated as the average of the high and low values.
Key Features:
User-configurable start time: Define the hour and minute for when the opening range should start based on your local time zone.
Line customization: Choose the color and line style (solid, dashed, dotted) for the high, low, and midline.
Easy-to-read visual representation: The high and low lines extend across the chart from the range start, with the midline placed in the center.
Dynamic updates: The indicator resets at the start of each new trading day and updates the opening range lines accordingly.
Perfect for:
Traders looking to monitor the initial market range during the first 15 minutes of trading.
Identifying key support and resistance levels based on early price action.
Providing a midline to assess market bias and potential breakouts.
Notes:
The indicator calculates everything based on the local time zone you define and automatically adjusts to your desired start time.
It will not redraw lines; once drawn, they remain on the chart until the next session.
Opening Range Breakout Detector📈 Opening Range Breakout Detector (TF-Independent)
Tracks breakouts with precision. No matter the chart, no matter the timeframe.
This indicator monitors whether price breaks above or below the Opening Range across multiple key durations — 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 45m, and 60m — using 1-minute data under the hood, while you can work on higher timeframe charts (daily, etc.).
Highlights:
✅ Status table shows which ORs broke UP or DOWN
⏱ Control which timeframes to track
🖼 Customizable table position, size and colors

The script initializes variables to store range data (startTime, high_val, low_val) and drawing objects (lines, boxes).
It detects whether the current bar falls within the session (inSession) or extended timeframe (inExtend).
Plotting:
During the session:
Deletes previous lines and boxes from prior sessions.
Draws new lines at the high, low, and middle levels.
Creates a background box covering the range, if enabled.
During the extended period:
Extends the session lines and box, if the user has opted for extensions.
Updates:
Continuously adjusts the high/low values and updates the lines as new price data arrives.
Use Cases:
This indicator can be valuable for traders who:
Use the opening range to identify potential breakout zones.
Trade based on price consolidation within the range.
Want a visual representation of key price levels to plan entries and exits.

PumpC Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Stretch RangePumpC ORB Stretch
The PumpC ORB Stretch is a volatility-based indicator that helps traders identify potential breakout zones by analyzing how price typically behaves around the open. This tool is inspired by concepts introduced by Toby Crabel in his well-known book “Day Trading with Short-Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout.”
Rather than predicting market direction, this indicator highlights areas where price is likely to expand based on recent volatility. It is designed for traders who prefer dynamic, data-driven breakout levels over static support and resistance zones.
What Is the "Stretch"?
In Toby Crabel’s framework, the Stretch is the average of the smaller of two price moves:
The distance from the open to the high of the bar
The distance from the open to the low of the bar
This smaller value captures the “quiet side” of the candle and reflects recent price compression. Averaged over multiple periods (commonly 10 daily bars), it creates a baseline to assess how far price may move away from the open under typical market conditions.
How the Indicator Works
The PumpC ORB Stretch follows this process:
Uses a higher timeframe (such as daily) to calculate the open, high, and low.
For each bar, measures the smaller of the two distances: open to high or open to low.
Applies a moving average to the result over a user-defined number of bars (default is 10).
Multiplies the average stretch by customizable levels (e.g., 0.382, 1.0, 2.0).
Plots breakout levels above and below the open of the selected timeframe.
The result is a set of adaptive levels that expand or contract with market volatility.
Customization Options
Stretch Timeframe: Choose the timeframe used for stretch calculation (default: Daily).
Stretch Length: Set the number of bars to include in the moving average.
Breakout Levels: Enable or disable individual levels and define multipliers.
Color Settings: Customize colors for each range level for easy visual distinction.
Plot Style: Circular markers are used to reduce chart clutter and improve readability.
How to Use It
Use plotted levels to anticipate possible breakouts from the open.
Adjust stretch length to reflect short-term or longer-term volatility trends.
Combine this tool with momentum indicators, volume, or price action for confirmation.
Use levels to help guide stop placement or profit targets in breakout strategies.
Important Notes
This script is based on an interpretation of Crabel’s concepts and is not affiliated with Crabel Capital or the original author.
The indicator does not predict direction; it is a tool for context and structure.
It is recommended that users test and validate this tool in a simulated environment before applying it to live trading.
