    Opening Range Breakout, for Futures and Equities

    There's not really much to understand, other than the ORB tends to produce more false breakouts during periods of low volatility. If anything, the best technique is to fade the ORB that counters the prevailing 3-5 day trend (using a simple MA).

    Opening Range Breakout, for Futures and Equities

    This doesn't appear to be any different than what TradeStation has already been doing for years. All you do is set up an intraday chart and then wait for the first tick (e.g., time < time[1]) -- that's your open. After that, you can use either a price offset or time offset to execute an ORB...

    Street Insights Jaye Shartis Paraphrasing"FED was the One who JUMPED the Markets"

    C'mon guys, think it through. Don't you think that traders by now have been "trained" to buy these events? People have learned not to panic and to take these price gifts in the face of a pretty good market. Obviously, one day it's not going to work, and there will be dip buyer's remorse. The...

    When are trend days more likely?

    Each morning, you get up and let the market news soak into you. Rate the "buzz" on a scale of 1 to 10 -- the higher the buzz, the better the movement. To a lesser extent, measure the prorated volume in the first 15 minutes -- the problem here is that many gaps have opening volume spikes, and the...
