Opening Range Breakout Indicator for ThinkorSwim

GreenPeny,
No worries at all. By going into the settings portion of the code, if you un-check the "Show bubble" checkmark box, it will remove the highlighting value bubble from the right of your chart, the vertical price area. That is removing "a" from my previous post.

To remove "b", which I think is what you are actually requesting, that requires adjusting the actual code. In any case, if you don't want a section of code to be recognized, using the "#" at the beginning of the line will essentially comment out that portion of code. The code is still there, but will be skipped over when it runs as ThinkScript... this allows you (the user) to alter what portions of code are used or not used without having to delete code you may potentially want to save for a later use.

Find below is the original code as posted by Ben in post 1 of this thread, but with the AddChartBubble areas commented out for you. I only commented out the Color.PLUM ones as those are the ones you were asking about, but if you want the "RO" and other chart bubbles to be removed, you can just scan through the code and anywhere you see AddChartBubble, just go ahead and place a # in front of any of the lines of the associated code you want to comment out and that should do it.

All my best.

GreenPeny,
No worries at all. By going into the settings portion of the code, if you un-check the "Show bubble" checkmark box, it will remove the highlighting value bubble from the right of your chart, the vertical price area. That is removing "a" from my previous post.

To remove "b", which I think is what you are actually requesting, that requires adjusting the actual code. In any case, if you don't want a section of code to be recognized, using the "#" at the beginning of the line will essentially comment out that portion of code. The code is still there, but will be skipped over when it runs as ThinkScript... this allows you (the user) to alter what portions of code are used or not used without having to delete code you may potentially want to save for a later use.

Find below is the original code as posted by Ben in post 1 of this thread, but with the AddChartBubble areas commented out for you. I only commented out the Color.PLUM ones as those are the ones you were asking about, but if you want the "RO" and other chart bubbles to be removed, you can just scan through the code and anywhere you see AddChartBubble, just go ahead and place a # in front of any of the lines of the associated code you want to comment out and that should do it.

All my best.

GaltsAtlantis,

Thank you so much for both explaining on how to disable the bubble for the future reference, and adjusting the code. I was trying to figure this for a while. This is greatly appreciated.
Yes I did unchecked the show bubble option from the setting as you mentioned above, but it only removes the lines not the actual bubble.
 
Hi all....i am going to set this one up in my TOS account....can someone please tag me which one is the latest and working code for this strategy? thank you for your help !
 
Hi @BenTen,

I am a recent member of the community and wanted to express my gratitude for all your contributions. Exploring and testing the material shared here has been quite a ride. I was hoping you could help me configure a strategy to assess the performance of the ORB. I'm considering using the close above ORH as a trigger for entering long positions and vice versa, utilizing Ltarget and Htarget as take-profit levels. I'm not sure if this would complicate the matter, but my idea is to set a stop-loss just below the entry if the take-profit levels are not reached.
 
Learning log v12.20

Second day of using the indicator. Great result!

Amazon Put Play

Like I mentioned earlier, once a stock start entering Breakdown zone, most likely it is going to breakdown. In the case of Amazon. It did exactly just that.

Take a look:

A few things to note:

  • 1. I entered at the yellow arrow, which was a risky play. Why? Because only the wick entered the Breakout Zone. This could have bounced up and my put would have been in trouble. Next time I would be more cautious and wait for confirmation of the break below Bear Zone entering Breakdown Zone.
  • 2. I sold at the blue arrow. Nothing wrong with taking profit. But I did not follow what I usually preached. I should have let Amazon break down further.

All and all. Great play in my opinion. I'll take another bite again when the opportunity presents itself.

Hi,
Can this be modified so each indicator can plot only for RTH when not in expansion?

# This is V03.02.2017(B) Other versions start with V01.01.2001 Ported to TOS 06.2011
#hint: Opening Range Breakout is one of the original Floor Trader Strategies.\n Why it works: Overnight orders accumulate. Those orders being placed during the first 15 minutes of Regular Trading Hours combined with the typical high volume in the first 30 minutes of trading make this the most volatile trading period of the day. Regularly released reports during the first 30 minutes of trading add to the volatility and effect the days direction.\n Features of this study: The yellow dashed line is the Day Filter Line and is used to determin the trend direction for the day. The dominant time spent above or below this line during the Opening Range Period typically determines the days trend. Green points indicate a close at EOD above the yellow line. Red Points a close below the yellow line. Yellow points a neutral or balanced day, close Between the Opening Range Extremes and often very near the Day Filter Line. The Opening Range is plotted with a green and red dashed line. Trades can be taken when there is an open outside these range lines. Up to 10 Targets are generated using Average True Range to plot target lines. When price crosses the first target line part of the trade should be taken as Risk Off profit and a stop should be placed at the entry point ensuring a profitable trade. If price crosses further targets stops should be moved to the preceeding target until stopped or your profit target is met. Initial Risk Stops are an open below the bar's low prior to entry or the Risk Lines plotted below the Opening range Lines. When price tests the opening range lines from below for the upper line or above for the lower lines trades can be taken with a first target to the yellow line from either direction and a Risk Stop line outside the opening range at the First Target lines or a close outside the Opening Range Lines. \n FYI the color of Probable close direction points are statistically accurate between 60% and 70% of the time. Trading against the direction of the ORB's Day Filtered Direction should be considered counter trend trades.\n As of 01.03.2017 You have just under a 52% probability that a DAILY bar will close green. So a 60% to 70% probability is a nice edge.

This is Fire! Can you also add bubbles for each plot that can be controlled using bubble movers with the options to choose on expansion yes/no please?

This has optional bubbles that can be moved sideways. There is a separate set of bubbles tha should work wne onexpanison = yes or another set to when onexpansion is set to no.

Recently came across this cool indicator called Opening Range Breakout by Mobius. This is more than just an indicator. There is also a strategy with risk and target lines included.



thinkScript Code

After adding the indicator, I couldn't quite understand it much. From looking at it, seems more like a support and resistance indicator to me. I watched a few YouTube videos about the Opening Range Breakout and was able to make some changes to the current code. As a result, I was able to have a clear picture of what this indicator does.

Here is my own version of it:

Rich (BB code):
declare Hide_On_Daily;
declare Once_per_bar;

input OrMeanS  = 0930.0; #hint OrMeanS: Begin Mean Period. Usually Market Open EST.
input OrMeanE  = 0935.0; #hint OrMeanE: End Mean period. Usually End of first bar.
input OrBegin  = 0930.0; #hint OrBegin: Beginning for Period of Opening Range Breakout.
input OrEnd    = 1000.0; #hint OrEnd: End of Period of Opening Range Breakout.
input CloudOn  = no;     #hint CloudOn: Clouds Opening Range.
input AlertOn  = yes;    #hint AlertOn: Alerts on cross of Opening Range.
input ShowTodayOnly = {"No", default "Yes"}; 
input nAtr = 4;          #hint nATR: Lenght for the ATR Risk and Target Lines.
input AtrTargetMult = 2.0; #hint ATRmult: Multiplier for the ATR calculations.

  def h = high;
  def l = low;
  def c = close;
  def bar = barNumber();
  def s = ShowTodayOnly;
  def ORActive = if secondsTillTime(OrMeanE) > 0 and
                    secondsFromTime(OrMeanS) >= 0
                 then 1
                 else 0;
  def today = if s == 0
              or getDay() == getLastDay() and
                 secondsFromTime(OrMeanS) >= 0

Now that you have the indicator added, let's get some terminology out of the way.
  • The green shadow is called the Bull Zone
  • The red shadow is called Bear Zone
  • Anywhere above the Bull Zone is called the Breakout Zone
  • Anywhere below the Bear Zone is called the Breakdown Zone

Hopefully you were able to understand those terms from this picture.

The Setup

  • 5 or 15 minutes timeframe
  • Heikin-Ashi candlestick
  • Disable pre-market and after-hour market
  • TEMA (30)
  • EMA (20)
  • Supertrend Indicator

Usage #1: Taking Advantage of Breakout Zone

Once the stock reaches above the breakout zone, we buy calls.

Usage #2: Taking Advantage of Breakdown Zone

Do the same as above. If the stock start to go from Bear Zone to breakdown zone, we start shorting it.

Usage #3: Avoid Misleading Signals given by Supertrend

A lot of people brought up a really good point about Supertrend. That is sometimes it would give false signals. And I also seen it first hand too. The Opening Range Breakout Indicator will allows us to resolve that.

Example #1: Don't short when the candles are still in the Bull Zone.

View attachment 4238

The only time that it is reasonable to short while the candles are still in Bull Zone is: IF the candle are by the border of Bull Zone and Bear Zone. Even better if it's already crossing the border into Bear Zone.

Example #2: Don't Buy Calls in Breakdown Zone

If you think the Bear Zone is worst, wait until you buy calls in the Breakdown Zone. That's a hard pass.

View attachment 4239

Again, sometimes it may be reasonable to buy calls if the candles are crossing the border going back to Bear Zone, then you may have a chance to pull thru and get above it. But anywhere between the Bear Zone and Breakdown Zone, be cautious, especially if you're already deep down in the Breakdown Zone.

Here is another example of "don't buy calls in the Breakdown zone"

View attachment 4240

The following screenshot will tell us a few things.

View attachment 4241

  1. When the Supertrend is giving us a buy signal, and that candle is crossing from Bear Zone into Bull Zone, then it's potentially setting up for a call play. (circle #1)
  2. Unlike the rule of not buying calls when you're in Breakdown Zone, shorting when in Breakout Zone could potentially be profitable too. But only if it's reasonable. Look at circle #2. It rejected the white dotted line, which is an additional border to enter another Breakout Zone. Since it rejected the second breakout area, we could take advantage of the Supertrend signal to go short.
  3. Circle #3 and #4, don't short in Breakout Zone without reasonable evidence (I like to use Support and Resistance during the Breakout and Breakdown Zone).

When the Supertrend is showing a buy signal while the candle is in Bull Zone then it's fairly safe to take it. When Supertrend is showing a short signal while the candle s in Bear Zone, then it's fairly safe to short at that point. Treat these zones as the home of Bears and Bulls.

I think the concept is pretty simple and straightforward here. Give it a spin and let me know how it goes for you guys.

Feel free to post questions, ideas, or any additional finding from this indicator.

P.S: I'll let Steve talk more about the usage of TEMA and EMA when he's on.

Update: A different version with Fibonacci Levels.

Here is the scanner for anyone interested.
Hi BenTen,
Again, thanks for the great indicator. It used to work very well on previous versions of ToS, however with current version there are some issues with the RiskOn lines and target lines, especially on the downside. They are not being painted or painted broken. I guess something with the software update of ToS is causing the issues. Is there an updated version for this indicator? Has anyone else seen these same issues on Tos (not drawing well the RiskON ORL and the lower targets?

No, the ToS app has not changed.
You did not provide enough information to say where you went astray.
If you are having issues, you may need to adjust your chart settings.
Or perhaps the instrument that you are viewing is missing data.

If you want a specific response.
Please provide an annotated image highlighting the problem.
Please post a shared chart link, so members can see what you are seeing.

Please help with the RO white line (What is RO) and how to use ?
What is Risk On ORL (open Range low) is this correct? 2bd target purple color on chart below the RO
please point to the place if it is explained already
 
Is there a way to avoid showing the ORB bubbles from the previous day at the opening of the current day session? Oh, and actually this is an ongoing issue for all previous days as well.

# Mobius
# This is V03.02.2017(B) Other versions start with V01.01.2001 Ported to TOS 06.2011
#hint: Opening Range Breakout is one of the original Floor Trader Strategies.\n Why it works: Overnight orders accumulate. Those orders being placed during the first 15 minutes of Regular Trading Hours combined with the typical high volume in the first 30 minutes of trading make this the most volatile trading period of the day. Regularly released reports during the first 30 minutes of trading add to the volatility and effect the days direction.\n Features of this study: The yellow dashed line is the Day Filter Line and is used to determin the trend direction for the day. The dominant time spent above or below this line during the Opening Range Period typically determines the days trend. Green points indicate a close at EOD above the yellow line. Red Points a close below the yellow line. Yellow points a neutral or balanced day, close Between the Opening Range Extremes and often very near the Day Filter Line. The Opening Range is plotted with a green and red dashed line. Trades can be taken when there is an open outside these range lines. Up to 10 Targets are generated using Average True Range to plot target lines. When price crosses the first target line part of the trade should be taken as Risk Off profit and a stop should be placed at the entry point ensuring a profitable trade. If price crosses further targets stops should be moved to the preceeding target until stopped or your profit target is met. Initial Risk Stops are an open below the bar's low prior to entry or the Risk Lines plotted below the Opening range Lines. When price tests the opening range lines from below for the upper line or above for the lower lines trades can be taken with a first target to the yellow line from either direction and a Risk Stop line outside the opening range at the First Target lines or a close outside the Opening Range Lines. \n FYI the color of Probable close direction points are statistically accurate between 60% and 70% of the time. Trading against the direction of the ORB's Day Filtered Direction should be considered counter trend trades.\n As of 01.03.2017 You have just under a 52% probability that a DAILY bar will close green. So a 60% to 70% probability is a nice edge.

AddChartBubble(bubble_ORB and mover_ORB, ORB_BAL[bubblemover_ORB], "BAL" + AsText(ORB_BAL[bubblemover_ORB]), ORB_BAL.TakeValueColor());

The following fixes this issue when onexpansion is no and showtoday only is no:

AddChartBubble(bubble_ORB and !oractive2 and !onexpansion_ORB and !ORActive[2] and IsNaN(ORB_H[bubblemover_ORB - 1]) and !IsNaN(ORB_H[bubblemover_ORB]), ORB_H[bubblemover_ORB], "IB_H", ORB_H.TakeValueColor());

AddChartBubble(bubble_ORB and !oractive2 and !onexpansion_ORB and !ORActive[2] and IsNaN(ORB_BAL[bubblemover_ORB - 1]) and !IsNaN(ORB_BAL[bubblemover_ORB]), ORB_BAL[bubblemover_ORB], "BAL", ORB_BAL.TakeValueColor());

#hint: Opening Range Breakout is one of the original Floor Trader Strategies.\n Why it works: Overnight orders accumulate. Those orders being placed during the first 15 minutes of Regular Trading Hours combined with the typical high volume in the first 30 minutes of trading make this the most volatile trading period of the day. Regularly released reports during the first 30 minutes of trading add to the volatility and effect the days direction.\n Features of this study: The yellow dashed line is the Day Filter Line and is used to determin the trend direction for the day. The dominant time spent above or below this line during the Opening Range Period typically determines the days trend. Green points indicate a close at EOD above the yellow line. Red Points a close below the yellow line. Yellow points a neutral or balanced day, close Between the Opening Range Extremes and often very near the Day Filter Line. The Opening Range is plotted with a green and red dashed line. Trades can be taken when there is an open outside these range lines. Up to 10 Targets are generated using Average True Range to plot target lines. When price crosses the first target line part of the trade should be taken as Risk Off profit and a stop should be placed at the entry point ensuring a profitable trade. If price crosses further targets stops should be moved to the preceeding target until stopped or your profit target is met. Initial Risk Stops are an open below the bar's low prior to entry or the Risk Lines plotted below the Opening range Lines. When price tests the opening range lines from below for the upper line or above for the lower lines trades can be taken with a first target to the yellow line from either direction and a Risk Stop line outside the opening range at the First Target lines or a close outside the Opening Range Lines. \n FYI the color of Probable close direction points are statistically accurate between 60% and 70% of the time. Trading against the direction of the ORB's Day Filtered Direction should be considered counter trend trades.\n As of 01.03.2017 You have just under a 52% probability that a DAILY bar will close green. So a 60% to 70% probability is a nice edge.

This is awesome. Can you also do the same fix for the ORB plots that has the same issues as well?

There were just pieces of missing code. The bubbles were already fixed in your code.

# Opening_Range_Breakout Strategy with Risk and Target Lines
# Mobius
# This is V03.02.2017(B) Other versions start with V01.01.2001 Ported to TOS 06.2011
#hint: Opening Range Breakout is one of the original Floor Trader Strategies.\n Why it works: Overnight orders accumulate. Those orders being placed during the first 15 minutes of Regular Trading Hours combined with the typical high volume in the first 30 minutes of trading make this the most volatile trading period of the day. Regularly released reports during the first 30 minutes of trading add to the volatility and effect the days direction.\n Features of this study: The yellow dashed line is the Day Filter Line and is used to determin the trend direction for the day. The dominant time spent above or below this line during the Opening Range Period typically determines the days trend. Green points indicate a close at EOD above the yellow line. Red Points a close below the yellow line. Yellow points a neutral or balanced day, close Between the Opening Range Extremes and often very near the Day Filter Line. The Opening Range is plotted with a green and red dashed line. Trades can be taken when there is an open outside these range lines. Up to 10 Targets are generated using Average True Range to plot target lines. When price crosses the first target line part of the trade should be taken as Risk Off profit and a stop should be placed at the entry point ensuring a profitable trade. If price crosses further targets stops should be moved to the preceeding target until stopped or your profit target is met. Initial Risk Stops are an open below the bar's low prior to entry or the Risk Lines plotted below the Opening range Lines. When price tests the opening range lines from below for the upper line or above for the lower lines trades can be taken with a first target to the yellow line from either direction and a Risk Stop line outside the opening range at the First Target lines or a close outside the Opening Range Lines. \n FYI the color of Probable close direction points are statistically accurate between 60% and 70% of the time. Trading against the direction of the ORB's Day Filtered Direction should be considered counter trend trades.\n As of 01.03.2017 You have just under a 52% probability that a DAILY bar will close green. So a 60% to 70% probability is a nice edge.
# (B)Deletions / Additions: Deleted - Globex High / Low, Globex Volume and Averages.
# Additions: Added 5 more target lines for a total of 10 on each side of the Opening Range.
