Opening Range Breakout Indicator for ThinkorSwim

Great job to whoever wrote this code. I am not trying to step on any toes here as this is not my code. I edited the ORBI code as follows and it appears to work great with the super trend. Not sure if I did this correctly though. I took code from 2 different places In this thread if i remember. You have to remember to go to the settings of the study and turn on the cloud, alert, and show today only if you are only viewing a "today" chart, then also go to the chart settings in TOS, under equities and adjust to hide or show closed times. I just have not jumped in and started to use it yet. I tried once or twice with $tsla and find it is hard to be quick, so I have to play with my time frames, 2-3 min vs 5 min vs 15 min.

Ben's Swing Trading Strategy + Indicator

I wouldn't call this a course. My goal is zero fluff. I will jump right into my current watchlist, tell you the ThinkorSwim indicator that I'm using, and past trade setups to help you understand my swing trading strategy.

I'm Interested

Great job to whoever wrote this code. I am not trying to step on any toes here as this is not my code. I edited the ORBI code as follows and it appears to work great with the super trend. Not sure if I did this correctly though. I took code from 2 different places In this thread if i remember. You have to remember to go to the settings of the study and turn on the cloud, alert, and show today only if you are only viewing a "today" chart, then also go to the chart settings in TOS, under equities and adjust to hide or show closed times. I just have not jumped in and started to use it yet. I tried once or twice with $tsla and find it is hard to be quick, so I have to play with my time frames, 2-3 min vs 5 min vs 15 min.

very good.
so you just merged supretrend with ORB, right?
what is that sell@ and buy@xx ? is that part of this script since does nto show up for me when I added to my TOS

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):

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

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.
Hey @BenTen Thanks for sharing this info. I am backtesting it. Here is KXIN from this week. I am using candle sticks (not heikeinashi) and have used the other indicators you had mentioned. I have added three "WHITE" numbers on the chart to visually explain my questions

Question: In this case, the opening range breakout was above the Green dotted line : "2" . So as per the study one should go long only when the chart is above the "2" area right? But the area above the dotted yellow "1" and "2" looks like ta better R/R for going long. Thoughts?
 
@thealphabreed One should go long only when the chart is above the "2" is what the strategy is based on. Not all stocks have read the book, they sometimes plot differently. There is no reason you can't test out alternate conditions. This thread is chock-full of flavors members have found successful.
 
Is it possible to draw an opening range from 9:30 am Eastern of the previous day to 9:00 am the current day? I am trying to automate the process. TIA.

Here is a specific modification to this script which has previously been posted to address your request. The option to extend your timeframe's range to the current day has been activated. You can select no at the input extendedlines, to better test the accuracy of the script.

Hey guys - I am playing around with the useThinkScript Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy and FloatingPL is not behaving as expected. In the video you will see:

1. Change the style
2. Change the ticker to /SIL
3. FloatingPL shows +$2740
4. I change the timeframe from 5 min to 15 min
5. I change the timeframe back to 5 min
6. FloatingPL now shows -$30


Could someone explain this behavior to me please?

Many thanks,

Matt.
 
@_Merch_Man_ You went from 90D 5M to 5D 5M.
Mmm. I don't believe I did. Regardless, why would the FloatingPL be different between the first time I am set to 5min (screenshot 1) and the second time I am set to 5min (screenshot 2)? Nothing else has changed. (It's difficult to read the FloatingPL number, but the FloatingPL graph shows it clearly enough). I have also included the script.

@_Merch_Man_ 30 seconds into the video, it shows 90D 5M and then you switched to 5D 15M to 5D 5M. You're looking at 90 days worth of trades vs 5 days, why would it be the same.
 
I am stuck. Working on an ORB strategy, but cannot seem to figure this out.

Q: How can I paint an arrow on the first bar (intraday chart) - and only the first bar - that crosses above the Opening Range High (or below the Low)?

It's simple enough to code for open < ORH and close > ORH. No problem there.

But I do not want to see arrows on any other candles the rest of the day - just that first instance.

Feeling like it should be possible, but thus far cannot find the answer. HELP!

See if this addition to the following strategy helps

@SleepyZ that was just PERFECT. Thank you very much!

One other question: could I separate into two plots?

The reason being - if it crossed the High, I'd want an UP arrow; if it crossed the Low, I'd want a DOWN arrow.

Thank you again!!!

You're welcome. Replace the following code to get directional arrows

                 else if isnan(orh_cross)
                 then barnumber()==orl_cross
                 else barnumber()==orh_cross;
plot orhcross =  if orh_orl == 1 and barnumber()==orh_cross then orh_cross else double.nan;
orhcross.setpaintingStrategy(paintingstrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_up);
orhcross.setdefaultColor(color.yellow);
orhcross.setlineweight(5);

How come when I turn off the extended hours, the ORB range lines all go to the next day but the target lines still intact. tried multiple versions on this thread, all the same
