@codydog that comes directly from Mobius in the notes in his ORBv3. I won't ask him for data, it never works out so well for me. Feel free to ask him, It is a valid question.
I trade based off the high and low of the day so if its the first 5 min candle on the 5 min chart and it breaks above i will usually jump in with a call or vise versa
Ok, thanks for explaining. I don't have code handy but if you open the study and click on the gear, there should be an input to change the time. Use the original in the first post. Good trading to you.
I primarily trade crude oil and wasn't sure what to use for the opening times. Even though it opens at 1800 there usually isn't much range. There can be movement around 4AM or 8AM sometimes with nothing around 9:30. I've tried changing it to various start times and settings but usually end up with an opening range that seems too wide or too short. I've read this thread several times and leaving it at default seems to be my best option.
