Opening Range Breakout Indicator for ThinkorSwim

I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me add two lines to the above ORB study (Shareable Link: https://tos.mx/qu3Cu0).

I've been trying to figure it out, but not quite getting it.

Line 1: a line exactly like ORH2ext, but instead of the highest high of the opening range...
- Have it find the highest open or highest close (use whichever value is higher)

Line 2: a line exactly like ORL2ext, but instead of the lowest low of the opening range...
- Have it find the lowest open or lowest close (use whichever value is lower)

I feel like it might just be a couple additional lines of code, but cannot quite get it right.

Thanks to anyone who can assist here!

The White Dashed line is Highest OR c/o and Magenta is Lowest OR c/o.

# 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.

New Indicator: Buy the Dip

Check out our Buy the Dip indicator and see how it can help you find profitable swing trading ideas. Scanner, watchlist columns, and add-ons are included.

Download the indicator

The White Dashed line is Highest OR c/o and Magenta is Lowest OR c/o.
YES!!!!!!!!
Thank you so very much. That's exactly what I was trying to do.

Some very smart people in here. :)


My only other question would be - is there a way to make those lines show on previous days?

I switched 'Show Today Only' in the settings to NO, but it still just shows for only the current day's session.

Not sure if I just did something wrong in the settings.

The code that you referenced and which was modified to add your request did not work for any of the OR plots for the showtodayonly option. I have modified the code to now do that and it is replaced in https://usethinkscript.com/threads/opening-range-breakout-indicator-for-thinkorswim.16/post-113995

 
Whenever I use this study, I wish that it would only extend the lines from the beginning of the day til the end of the day midnight to midnight would be perfect. As of now, the lines go for eternity, and it is very bothersome. I would appreciate it if someone could take a look at this! Thanks in the advance, team.

Code:
#Opening Range

#Define Market time and variables for ORHigh and ORLow
input opentime = 930;
input endtime = 1100;
def na = Double.NaN;

#check if the Opening Range time is now 
def ORActive = if GetLastDay() == GetDay() and
SecondsFromTime(opentime) >= 0 and
SecondsFromTime(endtime) < 0  
then 1 else 0; 

# Track the Opening Range high and low if Opening Range is active 
def OpenHigh = if ORActive then high else na;
def OpenLow = if ORActive then low else na; 

# Def the Opening Range high and low 
def OpenH = if GetLastDay() != GetDay() or !ORActive then na else HighestAll(OpenHigh);
def OpenL = if GetLastDay() != GetDay() or !ORActive then na else LowestAll(OpenLow); 

#Defines
def Today = GetDay() == GetLastDay();
def agg = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
def x_b = Today[0];

plot OpenHi = HighestAll(OpenHigh);
OpenHi.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);

plot OpenLo = LowestAll(OpenLow);
OpenLo.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);
 
I tried making a strategy where you enter trade when price closes over breakout and exit on first RO, with stoploss at opposite breakout level but past days don't show RO levels, so it's not a good backtester. I'll keep trying..

Could someone create a backtest for this? Or strategy that can be used to see profit/loss? Like enter trade when price closes over breakout and exit on first RO, with stoploss at opposite breakout level?

There is one but with filters https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...y-with-market-volatility-for-thinkorswim.164/

I imagine the backtesting script is relatively easy to set up unless you want to narrow down and add additional stoploss levels and entry criteria.

Mobius' ORB Bubble Location is written like this: def Bubbleloc1 = isNaN(close[-1]);
The alert is: alert(c crosses above ORH2,

Is there a way to add a second bubble that will appear AT the candle where it occurred and remain there?
This kinda works: def Bubbleloc2 = (c crosses above ORH2);
... except it appears on every candle.

Thanks!

This will place a bubble at each cross and remain there

Code:
addchartBubble(c crosses below ORL2, ORL2, "Cross below", color.red, yes);
addchartBubble(c crosses above ORH2, ORH2, "Cross above", color.green, 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();

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.

6TYzeF5.png


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.

ITKLEOm.png


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.

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"

The following screenshot will tell us a few things.

  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


I'm trying to calculate data on the IB range from yesterday, but I can't find a way. Can you help me with some instructions. As much as I try to put "(orhigh [1])" it does not return correct data. I don't know if I have to add some parameter to include the time period. Thanks
 
@chewie76 Nice. It's so hard to get realistic backtesting results since a lot of the trades would have been filtered out or ignored. That's why I don't really opt for backtesting strategies when it comes to testing.
 
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.

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

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.

6TYzeF5.png


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.

ITKLEOm.png


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.

35EW7Rf.png


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"

EUamb16.png


The following screenshot will tell us a few things.

telbFSl.png


  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 Ben,
Is there any way possible the plots and clouds for this indicator can end within the regular chart session and not get extended to the right? I will really appreciate it if this can be adjusted to keep the extended side clean to use other indicators needed. Thanks.
 
The White Dashed line is Highest OR c/o and Magenta is Lowest OR c/o.
Hi All, I absolutely love this indicator and I was wondering if we could add an extra feature.

Can this be modified so it will have the option to choose: show on expansion yes/no.

Couple of requests for this great work as well.

1. Can this also be scripts so when choosing show no on expansion the plots stops with the very last candle and does not go over the expansion side?

2. Can you add additional inputs to begin and end the plots for the ORLext function only? I am only interested in the opening range breakout high and low with its own beginning and end time in addition to the ORLext plot with a separate beginning and end time function.

1. This should work as you requested now.
2. I have only reset it as with the other plots. If you want it otherwise, an image may be helpful.

# 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.

# End Code ORB with Risk and targets
 
1. This should work as you requested now.
2. I have only reset it as with the other plots. If you want it otherwise, an image may be helpful.
Thanks for adjusting the plots to end with the candles.

Please refer to the image attached to complete the second part of this request.

The goal is to be able to manage the start time for the ORB high/low and the ORLext separately. The cyan dashed line is not necessary as a plot. I'm using it as a reference only. The only plots I need to see is the ORB high, ORB low and the ORLext plots that can be managed at the time needed.

The adds :

input ORHL_S = 0930;
input ORHL_E = 0945;
def ORActiveHL = if SecondsTillTime(ORHL_E) > 0 and
SecondsFromTime(ORHL_S) >= 0
then 1
else 0;


The changes:

ORHigh/Low to be dependent on the "adds"
Last close and ORLriskUP and ORLriskDN were fixed when !onexpansion to limited plot.


Any plots that you do not want can be unchecked at the input screen.

As I do not use this indicator, please let me know if the adds/changes are not working the way you expected.

# 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.

# End Code ORB with Risk and targets
 
The adds :

input ORHL_S = 0930;
input ORHL_E = 0945;
def ORActiveHL = if SecondsTillTime(ORHL_E) > 0 and
SecondsFromTime(ORHL_S) >= 0
then 1
else 0;


The changes:

ORHigh/Low to be dependent on the "adds"
Last close and ORLriskUP and ORLriskDN were fixed when !onexpansion to limited plot.

Any plots that you do not want can be unchecked at the input screen.

As I do not use this indicator, please let me know if the adds/changes are not working the way you expected.
Fantastic work SleepyZ! Just Genius!!
