Hey guys,

You might have already seen this indicator before. This started as an ORB Sessions 15m indicator that was used by over 500+ users. That indicator has been removed from Tradingview because I messed up the author instructions and it got removed. It had over 300+ boosts in a few weeks.

Since then daily improvements has been made and we launched a newer and better version with an upgraded engine that also makes the 5m and 30m ORB available in one single indicator.

It is really good in detecting failed breakouts and can make sure you don't jump in on every single break that goes directly into your SL. It all comes down to just waiting for an OK break and then waiting the next candle to see if it stays green. If so, then step in on the retrace and aim for a liquidity point or a fixed R:R.

If you are an ORB trader and you want to test this for the upcoming weeks then send me a message or comment down below with: FLOW. If this helped your trading in any way, please leave your feedback in our community so we can further improve this for all users.

This is one of our indicators that is constantly being improved while the markets change. Thanks for reading and have a good upcoming trading week!

For awhile I traded reversions like I was trying to catch the exact turn. Price would run into an area that looked exhausted, I'd fade it, and half the time I was early by three candles and stopped out before the actual reversal even started.

I noticed that most exhaustions don't reverse, it just pauses. So I stopped taking every tired-looking move and only took the ones where the follow-through died completely. Fewer trades, but the ones I took stopped bleeding me on entries that were technically right and practically too early.

I'm on a fresh 50K eval now, focusing on reversions and holding to 400 of risk a day, and steadily climbing to funded. Every payout I will buy another eval and copytrade it. All while maintaining the same risk. If you want to see how I mark up and trade these reversions, there's more on my profile.

What was the change that made you consistent, and was it as small as mine turned out to be?

Everything above the buffer was collected last time and now we hit the consistency so lets do it again! Already set on the first day for the next payout. Tried to short MCL but that hit my SL and then I got an alert for shorting MYM (2nd image) and that gave me a nice 3R:R ending the first day with a +315!

Did you guys got a payout this week? How is the risk management going?

Quick recap of a New York session ORB on MYM today.

Bias was clean going in. Structure was bullish on both timeframes, 15m and 5m each showing BOS and CHoCH to the upside, so I was only hunting longs.

After the New York open I let the opening range form and waited instead of chasing the first push. Once it broke up and held, I drew a fib on the range and looked for the pullback to come to me.

Entry was just above the 0.5. Stop sat under the 0.786, so if the pullback turned into a full reversal I was out cheap. Target was 2R, which lined up almost exactly with the Asia session high sitting overhead. That gave me a real level to come off at, not just some random point.

Price worked back up through the range and tagged the target clean. Did move the stop just under the exhaustion but wasn't necessary in the end.

For full disclosure, the tools on the chart are my own. It's what I trade with every single day. So I'm unable to share my experience here without them on the chart.

For over 2 hours an exhaustion was building as you can see on chart - the red box. While that was building we got a Weak Break marked by the X on the upbreak with London. The VWAP band was close by and we got alot of imbalances sitting down below.

I decided to take the short on the retest of the ORB high. TP was set on the midline of the first 15m FVG and SL set on the VWAP band to get a ✅3R:R.

I trade intraday futures, mostly MNQ and MES, and over the last while I built a set of indicators for my own process and ended up turning them into a small product. Full disclosure up front: these are my own tools, so take this as the builder talking, not an unbiased review.

The whole suite is built around three things that actually move an intraday session: opening range breakouts, mean reversion off stretched levels, and zones away from value. Here is what each one does.

ORB Sessions. Marks the opening range for the Asia, London and New York sessions and grades each break before it calls it, so you see which breakouts have backing and which are likely to fail, instead of reacting to every poke through the line. It runs three modes, 5, 15 and 30 minute ranges, and the break confirmation timeframe adjusts with the mode. Once a move is already extended it stops signalling so you are not chasing late.

Reversion. A mean reversion oscillator that needs two independent momentum readings to hit exhaustion at the same time before it signals. The dual confirmation is the point, it filters out the single line false signals that make standard oscillators hard to trade on their own.

Zone Detection. Reads daily VWAP band structure to flag when price has stretched a statistically significant distance from fair value, then only marks a reversal when the move actually shows exhaustion there, not just distance.

There are also a few free open source scripts on TradingView if you want to see how I build before anything else: a structure bias dashboard, a volume context tool, and an FVG map.

Honest questions and pushback welcome.

I am running a $1 trial of the full suite for 14 days if anyone wants to test them on live charts. Offer runs until June 26.

With the small win on the boring Friday we got another payout. It is not the maximum payout but still gonna take it before I burn it all!

ORB breakouts & reversion plays was the way for me this week. Did you guys managed to get a payout? And if so, what strategy did you use to reach it?

Have a good weekend! Cheers

BTC daily is showing something worth watching right now.

The weekly structure is bearish across the board. The daily CHoCH just flipped bearish too, which is why the overall bias reads bearish on the dashboard.

But the daily BOS is still bullish. That means the sequence of higher highs and higher lows on the daily has not broken down yet. The character changed, the structure has not confirmed it.

That gap between CHoCH and BOS is where a lot of fakeouts happen in both directions. Bears see the CHoCH and short. Bulls see the BOS holding and buy. Until one of them breaks, price tends to chop.

For me the level to watch is whether daily BOS flips bearish. If it does, the whole dashboard aligns bearish and the move has more conviction behind it. Until then the conflict is worth respecting.

I built this dashboard to track exactly this kind of disagreement across timeframes. I published it free and open-source on TradingView. Join us and claim the indicator for free.

Anyone else watching this same level on the daily?

A year ago my ORB process was simple. Price breaks above the opening range, I enter long. Price breaks below, I enter short. Session did not matter much, quality did not matter at all. A break was a break.

The results were inconsistent in a specific way. Some sessions were clean, others felt like the market was designed to stop me out. I would enter a break, get reversed, watch price go back into the range, then break again in the same direction and run without me.

The problem was not the concept. ORBs work. The problem was that I was treating every break identically, and they are not identical.

A break on weak volume with a small body candle closing near the low of the move is not the same as a break on above-average volume with a strong close beyond the range. The first one fails a lot. The second one follows through a lot. Once I started filtering by those conditions, two things happened.

The number of trades I took went down. The quality of the ones I did take went up.

The other thing that changed was how I handled the weak breaks. Instead of ignoring them I started reading them. A break with multiple signs of failure is often worth fading back into the range, not following. That flipped a consistent losing pattern into something useful.

I track this across Asia, London, and New York now because each session has different characteristics. London tends to produce cleaner initial breaks. New York has more noise around the open. Asia is slower and the range is tighter, so breaks need more confirmation. Treating them the same was the second mistake I had been making.

I built this logic into an indicator I use daily. If you want to see the full setup:

What does your ORB process look like? Do you filter at all or do you take every break?

London session gave an OK breakout out of the ORB. Second candle stayed out of range and bought the retrace on fib 0.3.

Set SL on 0.7 and TP at the 15m FVG midline. Took a while as gold was really choppy and gave a good drop few hours later. Position was +350 but returned all the way till -100..

I let the trade play out and put my phone away and there is was, a rejection on the ORL at LO and still went to my TP and cashed +600

Luckyyyy

Price pushed hard into the New York session high on Gold, stalled, and reversed.

The Exhaustion Reversal fired right at the top. Both fast and slow momentum confirmed at the same time, which is the only condition that triggers the signal. Trend was STEADY with an upward bias going in, so this was price running out of steam against the prevailing move rather than a full trend flip.

Not every reversal plays out, but when both momentum readings align at an extreme, it is worth paying attention.

Built this into my indicator so I never miss it in real time.
