Open Range Breakout Indicator ORB

Open Range Breakout Indicator ORB

Hello everyone,
Here is the ORB indicator (Open Range Breakout) used in the famous strategy of Toby Crabel:
http://www.amazon.fr/Trading-Short-Patterns-Opening-Breakout/dp/0934380171

An explanation video:

Some other details here:

https://www.wpi.edu/Pubs/E-project/Available/E-project-042910-142422/unrestricted/Veselin_Iliev_IQP.pdf

This indicator shows the highest and lowest in the first hour of trading that is very important. Default 9:00AM / 10.00AM. (European time zone)
This defines a Support and Resistance which we monitor breakage / Breakout in this strategy.

Bearings of 50% of the obtained range are also plotted.

It is of course quite possible, if desired, to change the indicator parameter for other time range

Bons trades 🙂

Zilliq

    Hey zilliq,
    thank you for the code. But if I try to import it, it opens as an extra window, right below the normal chart.
    how can I get it in the chart?
     
    Cheers
    Flo

    sorry for asking… I found the problem.

  3. prorealcode48 • 03/25/2016 #

    bonjour,
    Après import, “
    Open Range Breakout Indicator ORB” n’apparaît dans la liste des Proscreener. Pourquoi ?

    • Nicolas • 03/25/2016 #

      Bonjour, parce qu’il s’agit d’un indicateur et non d’un screener 🙂

  4. Dunger • 03/25/2016 #

    Hi,
    Nice indicator.
    How do you display just the one set of lines for a given day, rather than all previous lines please?
    Regards.

    Hi zilliq! I have imported the indicator into Prorealtime but it doesn’t overlay the price chart , it has a seperated like the other indicators eg MACD, am i doing something wrong?

  6. Tom C • 03/25/2016 #

     how do you overlay in price chart?

    • Nicolas • 03/25/2016 #

      Use the wrench of the price chart.

  7. ken kiplimo • 03/25/2016 #

    I really need this ORB indicator in mq4 or EXE file. Who has it Please?

    • Nicolas • 03/25/2016 #

      This website is dedicated to prorealtime programming, you’ll not find any MT4 files around here.

    • ken kiplimo • 03/25/2016 #

      Thanks Nicolas.

  8. ken kiplimo • 03/25/2016 #

    Thanks Nico for the advice. I was talking about this file “open-range-breakout-orb.itf” and if it can be saved in exe format

  9. Bel • 03/25/2016 #

    Hi, I used the above 5-Min ORB indicator codes for US30 DOW Index, from 9.30am to 9.35am New York Time. Most of the days the ORH (Opening Range High) & ORL (Opening Range Low) are plotted correctly.
    However, I noted the ORH for 30-Dec-2024 was plotted incorrectly. It was using the 9.28am High as the ORH for 30-Dec-2024.
    May I know why? And how can I correct it? Thank you in advance.
