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!

The trade that finally taught me to stop trading the first breakout of the session

For a long time my worst days looked the same. Price breaks the opening range, I get in right at the break because that's what you're supposed to do, then I watch it come straight back and stop me out.

Not a disaster on any single trade. But five a week, session after session, bled the account more than any single bad call ever did.

The expensive part wasn't the losses. It was how long I defended it. I told myself I was being disciplined. What I was really doing was entering every break the same way, whether the move had earned it or not.

What fixed it was waiting one candle. If the candle right after the break came back and put a heavy rejection wick through the level, the break had no one behind it. Those were the ones that stopped me. Skipping them barely moved my win rate, but my average loss dropped hard.

None of this is complicated, which is why it took me so long to actually do it.

What was the habit that cost you the most before you could admit it was a habit?

The difference between the ORB breaks I take now vs. the ones I used to take

https://preview.redd.it/461yzfpfje9h1.png?width=1680&format=png&auto=webp&s=41eeb6902c9b80e188a258fad33134caa6b946df

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.

I built this logic into an indicator I use daily. If you want to give it a shot check out my profile.

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