Timely Opening Range Breakout Strategy (TORB)Today, I’ll tell you about an amazing research study back from 2019 by a team of Taiwanese researchers, “Assessing the Profitability of Timely Opening Range Breakout on Index Futures Markets.” Takeaway: The study's results are compelling. Implementing the TORB strategy yielded over 8% annual returns across the tested markets. Remarkably, the TAIEX index showcased a staggering 20.28% annual return. These numbers underline the potential of TORB in maximizing trading gains. █ What is Open Range Breakout? Open Range Breakout (ORB) is one of the simplest and safest strategies day traders use in a relatively low-volatility market. Opening Range means exactly just that. You check an asset's highest and lowest price in a certain time frame (usually 15 to 60 minutes) from the market's opening time. These levels become your resistance and support that guide your trading plan for that day. Say if your chosen stock price goes higher than the highest level after the opening range; it indicates a bullish run for the day. Conversely, it indicates a bearish run if the price loses support in a downward trend. █ Timely Opening Range Breakout Strategy ORB has a certain set of challenges, especially for volatile markets. The Timely Open Range Breakout (TORB) strategy has been proposed in response to these challenges. TORB leverages high-frequency intraday data and aligns trading strategies with the active hours of the underlying stock markets. By analyzing one-minute intraday data from 2003 to 2013 across various markets, including DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ, HSI, and TAIEX, the study by Yi-Cheng Tsai et al. demonstrates the effectiveness of this strategy. The key lies in identifying the 'active hours' of the market, aligning with the opening range of the underlying index. █ 1. PMMV and PMVR: The research paper introduces two critical variables for the TORB strategy: Per-Minute Mean Volume (PMMV) and Per-Minute Variance of Return (PMVR). These metrics are essential in identifying the most active hours for futures market trading. PMMV provides a snapshot of the market's activity level at each minute of the trading day. PMVR is crucial for understanding the volatility or the degree of fluctuation in the market at each minute. PMMV (Per-Minute Mean Volume) is calculated by averaging the trading volume in a one-minute interval over a specified number of trading days. The graph shows that the German 40 is most active during the London opening and 30 minutes into the New York opening. PMVR (Per-Minute Variance of Return) measures the variance of the one-minute returns, calculated as the logarithmic difference between the closing prices of one-minute intervals. Using PMVR, the German 40 is most active during the London opening session and approximately one hour into the New York session. █ 2. TORB Trading Rules: Basic ORB trading rules are applied here. Buying pressure dominates if the price moves above the resistance level, suggesting potential upward price movement. Conversely, selling pressure prevails if the price falls below the support level, indicating a possible downward trend. These rules are applied within the active trading hours, defined by the PMMV and PMVR metrics. Buy Signal Sell Signal The strategy also defines three key time points: the beginning of the observed period, the end of the observed period (probe time), and the time of closing the position. The prices at these specific times determine the conditions for buying and selling​​. █ 3. Data Sets: The study utilized two main datasets for its experiments: Intraday Data of Five Futures Markets: This dataset includes one-minute intraday data of the E-mini futures of the DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, HSI (Hong Kong), and TAIEX (Taiwan). The period covered ranges from 2001/2003 to 2013, providing a comprehensive overview of these markets over a decade. Transaction Data for TAIEX Index Futures: This dataset contains detailed transaction data for the TAIEX index futures, covering the period from 2006 to 2013. It analyzes the relationship between TORB signals and trader behavior in the Taiwanese market. Interestingly, the research even considers the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, presenting test results for two sub-periods: before and after 2007. This approach ensures a thorough understanding of the strategy's performance across different market conditions​​. █ Results and Analysis 1. TORB Profitability Test: The TORB profitability test involved back-testing the strategy for the five futures markets. DJIA, S&P, and NASDAQ results revealed that strategies with probe times in the early stages yielded significantly higher annual returns. DJIA: The results showed that TORB transactions decreased as the probe time moved away from the beginning of active hours. This implies that the strategy was most effective when applied close to market opening times. S&P and NASDAQ: Similar to the DJIA, these markets also showed that strategies with early-stage probe times earned higher annual returns. Additionally, the TAIEX results demonstrated that TORB strategies earned significantly higher returns with probe times of less than 200 minutes. 2. Impressive Returns: The study's results are compelling. Implementing the TORB strategy yielded over 8% annual returns across the tested markets. Remarkably, the TAIEX index showcased a staggering 20.28% annual return. These numbers underline the potential of TORB in maximizing trading gains. It also found that the best probing times were shorter in the U.S. markets and longer in Asian markets​​. The research demonstrated that TORB strategies yielded consistently higher returns than traditional TRB (Trading Range Breakout) strategies, with no significant results in profitability tests for all TRB strategies across the five futures markets​​. To provide a clear picture, here's a summary of the daily returns for each market analyzed: E-mini DJIA: See Table 1 from the research paper E-mini S&P: See Table 2 from the research paper E-mini NASDAQ and HSI: See Tables 3 and 4 from the research paper TAIEX: See Table 5 from the research paper The active hours, identified by peaks in PMMV and PMVR, played a crucial role in the strategy's success. For instance, the E-mini DJIA showed peaks around 8:30 AM and 3:15 PM, coinciding with the opening and closing times of the underlying market. Similarly, peaks were observed for HSI around the opening, closing, and lunch break times. █ Relationship Between TORB Signals and Trader Behavior The study also examined the relationship between TORB signals and trader behavior, particularly in the TAIEX futures market. It was observed that the daily volume for individual traders was about twice that for institutional traders. The returns of the TORB strategies were positively related to the net buy positions of institutional traders both before and after the breakout. This suggests that by following the TORB signals, one could trade in the same direction as institutional traders and obtain positive returns. Specifically, the returns of the TORB strategies were significantly and positively related to foreign investment institutions, both before and after the breakout, indicating that TORB signals align with the trading direction of the most informed traders in the Taiwan market​​. █ Reference Y.-C.

Easiest way to determine BIASHere is an example of how to determine Bias for the day, or the open. Using the Open and Low or Open and High of the Daily candle in conjunction with the midnight opening price, we can easily determine Bias for the day, or for placing orders during the NY open. This example is shown on CL (Oil Futures) for a LONG BIAS. Just reverse for Short Bias. ( I mistakenly typed High when I meant Low in the example's text.) Adding this to an existing strategy or entry technique can be very powerful. I hope this is helpful for everyone. Happy Trading!

DAX LONG (PAPER PRACTISE)Post FOMC news was good for markets. Used an ORB strategy this morning on the 5 min candle at 8:05, my daily bias was bullish and I wanted to see the BSL taken out in order to break out of the range that DAX has been trading in for the past week or so. I believed that when the BSL was sweeped, we would look for new highs triggered from FEB22 BSL. I got got stopped out abit early and missed more points, however I kept moving my stop loss to an appropriate position so that I would not of missed out on points (1:2 then all the way to R:R 1105). I believe my SL was abit too tight as it rallied abit after but overall well executed. Kept my risk to a minimum, however I should of added to this trade at each BSL it took out.

The Opening Range TradeThis is one of my favorite trades to make because of the outsized risk reward ratio that it can offer. We're talking 10:1 or better some days. We are going to look at an example of an opening range trade in the S&P 500 E-mini this past Friday, October 29, 2021. What is the opening range? In the days of screen trading, the opening range can be considered the first 60 seconds of the normal cash session. This is when all the orders that were set to trigger on market open come flooding in. You can think of this as the moment when ALL of the institutional traders begin to step in and have an opinion about what happened in the overnight session. It is very telling therefore to see how big of a bite this opening range carves out of the orderbook. On a very directional day, this opening range will be left as the high or low of the session. This is even more likely to happen if we are opening with a gap from the previous day's range and value. When to take an opening range trade: 1. The opening 1 minute range is narrower than 2x your risk tolerance for stop loss placement. 2. The opening range is left at the high or low of the session. 3. The opening range leaves a gap from the previous day's cash session. Rule 1 and 2 must always be true, while you can think of rule 3 as an additional validator. How to take an opening range trade: See the chart above for reference. We are opening within yesterday's range, so no gap. We wait for the 08:30(central) 1 minute candle to paint itself as the market opens. As soon as the candle is complete we mark it's high and low. We have a fairly large range of 20 ticks. The next 1 minute candle dips back into the opening range before extending above it. Because this candle does not reach the center of the opening range, we can go long when it begins to extend above. We set our stop loss at the center of the opening range. A note about stop placement: For what it's worth, I was taught, (and most traders I know do it this way) to use the ENTIRE opening range for my stop loss. What I've noticed however, is that if price action returns to the center of the range, there is a high probability of it violating the other side. Therefore, you can use half the opening range, thus cutting your risk in half, and the money saved will by far outweigh the handful of trades per year that you miss due to being stopped out. You could have taken this trade for very little risk and carried it all the way to the close for a 10:1 reward over risk. The opening range trade is simple to implement, and you won't have to wait very long to find out if you're right or not. Typically, if this trade is wrong then you'll be stopped out in a few minutes and can move on. If the opening range IS left as the high or low of the session, then you can expect a substantial move in your favor. Now you have one more tool to keep in your toolbox. I hope it helps. Trade well everyone.
