Unlock the ORB Strategy's Secret for Trading Success

Summary

Most traders fail with the popular Opening Range Breakout strategy, losing money due to fakeouts, incorrect time frames, and poor risk management. The key missing element lies in analyzing the true volume traded within the first three five-minute candles, not just the high and low of the opening range. By using a fixed range volume profile, traders can identify key levels like the Value Area High, Value Area Low, and Point of Control. For fakeouts, wait for liquidity to be hit, then for a five-minute candle to close back inside the value area before entering in the opposite direction, targeting nearby liquidity or the opposite side of the opening range. For breakouts, trade when there's a clear trend or after liquidity has been swept, waiting for a five-minute candle to close outside the value area with stops placed two ticks past the point of control and targeting a two-to-one risk-reward ratio. The fifteen-minute chart is recommended for its balance of profitability, calm execution, and risk management.
